Detailed Description

rangefinder2D_nws_yarp: A Network grabber for 2D Rangefinder devices. This device will stream data on the specified YARP ports.

Description of input parameters

This device is paired with its YARP client called Rangefinder2DClient to receive the data streams and perform RPC operations.

Parameters required by this device are:

Parameter name	SubParameter	Type	Units	Default Value	Required	Description	Notes
period	-	double	s	0.02	No	refresh period of the broadcasted values in s	default 0.02s
name	-	string	-	-	Yes	Prefix name of the ports opened by the wrapper, e.g. /robotName/Rangefinder2DSensor	Required suffix like '/rpc' will be added by the device
subdevice	-	string	-	-	alternative to 'attach' action	name of the subdevice to use as a data source	when used, parameters for the subdevice must be provided as well
frame_id	-	string	-	-	No	name of the attached frame	Currently not used, reserved for future use

Example of configuration file using .ini format.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp()

Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp ( )

It reads the data from a rangefinder sensor and sends them on one port.

It also creates one rpc port.

Definition at line 29 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ ~Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp()

Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::~Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp ( )

Member Function Documentation

◆ attach() [1/2]

void Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::attach ( yarp::dev::IRangefinder2D * s )

Definition at line 85 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ attach() [2/2]

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::attach ( yarp::dev::PolyDriver * driver )

overridevirtual

Specify which sensor this thread has to read from.

Implements yarp::dev::IWrapper.

Definition at line 49 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ close()

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::close ( )

overridevirtual

Close the DeviceDriver.

Returns: true/false on success/failure.

Reimplemented from yarp::dev::DeviceDriver.

Definition at line 418 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ detach()

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::detach ( )

overridevirtual

Detach the object (you must have first called attach).

Returns: true/false on success failure.

Implements yarp::dev::IWrapper.

Definition at line 90 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ open()

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::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 292 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ read()

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::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 100 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ run()

void Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::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 374 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ threadInit()

bool Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::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 287 of file Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp.cpp.

◆ threadRelease()

void Rangefinder2D_nws_yarp::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.
