Constructor Detail

Servo

public Servo(int channel)

Constructor.

By default 2.4 ms is used as the maxPWM value
By default 0.6 ms is used as the minPWM value

Parameters:

channel - The PWM channel to which the servo is attached. 0-9 are on-board, 10-19 are on the MXP port

Method Detail

set

public void set(double value)

Set the servo position.

Servo values range from 0.0 to 1.0 corresponding to the range of full left to full right.

Parameters:

value - Position from 0.0 to 1.0.

get

public double get()

Get the servo position.

Servo values range from 0.0 to 1.0 corresponding to the range of full left to full right.

Returns:

Position from 0.0 to 1.0.

setAngle

public void setAngle(double degrees)

Set the servo angle.

Assume that the servo angle is linear with respect to the PWM value (big assumption, need to test).

Servo angles that are out of the supported range of the servo simply "saturate" in that direction In other words, if the servo has a range of (X degrees to Y degrees) than angles of less than X result in an angle of X being set and angles of more than Y degrees result in an angle of Y being set.

Parameters:

degrees - The angle in degrees to set the servo.

getAngle

public double getAngle()

Get the servo angle.

Assume that the servo angle is linear with respect to the PWM value (big assumption, need to test).

Returns:

The angle in degrees to which the servo is set.

getSmartDashboardType

public java.lang.String getSmartDashboardType()

Description copied from interface: Sendable

The string representation of the named data type that will be used by the smart dashboard for this Sendable.

Specified by:

getSmartDashboardType in interface Sendable

Overrides:

getSmartDashboardType in class PWM

Returns:

The type of this Sendable.

initTable

public void initTable(ITable subtable)

Description copied from interface: Sendable

Initializes a table for this Sendable object.

Specified by:

initTable in interface Sendable

Overrides:

initTable in class PWM

Parameters:

subtable - The table to put the values in.

updateTable

public void updateTable()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

Update the table for this sendable object with the latest values.

Specified by:

updateTable in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

startLiveWindowMode

public void startLiveWindowMode()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

Start having this sendable object automatically respond to value changes reflect the value on the table.

Specified by:

startLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

startLiveWindowMode in class PWM

stopLiveWindowMode

public void stopLiveWindowMode()

Description copied from interface: LiveWindowSendable

Stop having this sendable object automatically respond to value changes.

Specified by:

stopLiveWindowMode in interface LiveWindowSendable

Overrides:

stopLiveWindowMode in class PWM
