Constructor Detail

SafePWM

public SafePWM(int channel)

Constructor for a SafePWM object taking a channel number.

Parameters:

channel - The channel number to be used for the underlying PWM object. 0-9 are on-board, 10-19 are on the MXP port.

Method Detail

setExpiration

public void setExpiration(double timeout)

Set the expiration time for the PWM object.

Specified by:

setExpiration in interface MotorSafety

Parameters:

timeout - The timeout (in seconds) for this motor object

getExpiration

public double getExpiration()

Return the expiration time for the PWM object.

Specified by:

getExpiration in interface MotorSafety

Returns:

The expiration time value.

isAlive

public boolean isAlive()

Check if the PWM object is currently alive or stopped due to a timeout.

Specified by:

isAlive in interface MotorSafety

Returns:

a bool value that is true if the motor has NOT timed out and should still be running.

stopMotor

public void stopMotor()

Stop the motor associated with this PWM object. This is called by the MotorSafetyHelper object when it has a timeout for this PWM and needs to stop it from running.

Specified by:

stopMotor in interface MotorSafety

isSafetyEnabled

public boolean isSafetyEnabled()

Check if motor safety is enabled for this object.

Specified by:

isSafetyEnabled in interface MotorSafety

Returns:

True if motor safety is enforced for this object

Feed

public void Feed()

Feed the MotorSafety timer. This method is called by the subclass motor whenever it updates its speed, thereby resetting the timeout value.

setSafetyEnabled

public void setSafetyEnabled(boolean enabled)

Specified by:

setSafetyEnabled in interface MotorSafety

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()

Specified by:

getDescription in interface MotorSafety

disable

public void disable()
