Member Function Documentation

◆ close()

bool FakeLaser::close ( )

overridevirtual

Close the DeviceDriver.

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Reimplemented from yarp::dev::DeviceDriver.

Definition at line 167 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ open()

bool FakeLaser::open ( yarp::os::Searchable & config )

overridevirtual

Open the DeviceDriver.

Parameters

config is a list of parameters for the device. Which parameters are effective for your device can vary. See device invocation examples. If there is no example for your device, you can run the "yarpdev" program with the verbose flag set to probe what parameters the device is checking. If that fails too, you'll need to read the source code (please nag one of the yarp developers to add documentation for your device).

Returns: true/false upon success/failure

Reimplemented from yarp::dev::DeviceDriver.

Definition at line 37 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ read()

bool FakeLaser::read ( yarp::os::ConnectionReader & reader )

overridevirtual

Read this object from a network connection.

Override this for your particular class.

Parameters

reader an interface to the network connection for reading

Returns: true iff the object is successfully read

Implements yarp::os::PortReader.

Definition at line 471 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ run()

void FakeLaser::run ( )

overridevirtual

Loop function.

This is the thread itself. The thread calls the run() function every <period> ms. At the end of each run, the thread will sleep the amounth of time required, taking into account the time spent inside the loop function. Example: requested period is 10ms, the run() function take 3ms to be executed, the thread will sleep for 7ms.

Note: after each run is completed, the thread will call a yield() in order to facilitate other threads to run.

Implements yarp::os::PeriodicThread.

Definition at line 265 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ setDistanceRange()

bool FakeLaser::setDistanceRange	(	double	min,
		double	max
	)

overridevirtual

set the device detection range.

Invalid setting will be discarded.

Parameters

min	the minimum detection distance
max	the maximum detection distance

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Implements yarp::dev::IRangefinder2D.

Definition at line 181 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ setHorizontalResolution()

bool FakeLaser::setHorizontalResolution ( double step )

overridevirtual

get the angular step between two measurments (if available)

Parameters

step	the angular step between two measurments

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Implements yarp::dev::IRangefinder2D.

Definition at line 199 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ setScanLimits()

bool FakeLaser::setScanLimits	(	double	min,
		double	max
	)

overridevirtual

set the scan angular range.

Parameters

min	start angle of the scan
max	end angle of the scan

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Implements yarp::dev::IRangefinder2D.

Definition at line 190 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ setScanRate()

bool FakeLaser::setScanRate ( double rate )

overridevirtual

set the scan rate (scans per seconds)

Parameters

rate	the scan rate

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Implements yarp::dev::IRangefinder2D.

Definition at line 207 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ threadInit()

bool FakeLaser::threadInit ( )

overridevirtual

Initialization method.

The thread executes this function when it starts and before "run". This is a good place to perform initialization tasks that need to be done by the thread itself (device drivers initialization, memory allocation etc). If the function returns false the thread quits and never calls "run". The return value of threadInit() is notified to the class and passed as a parameter to afterStart(). Note that afterStart() is called by the same thread that is executing the "start" method.

Reimplemented from yarp::os::PeriodicThread.

Definition at line 215 of file fakeLaser.cpp.

◆ threadRelease()

void FakeLaser::threadRelease ( )

overridevirtual

Release method.

The thread executes this function once when it exits, after the last "run". This is a good place to release resources that were initialized in threadInit() (release memory, and device driver resources).

Reimplemented from yarp::os::PeriodicThread.
