Class TrcWrapValueConverter

java.lang.Object
trclib.dataprocessor.TrcWrapValueConverter
Direct Known Subclasses:
TrcAbsoluteEncoder
public class TrcWrapValueConverter extends Object
This class is typically used to monitor a sensor value that wraps around and convert it to a continuous value. For example, absolute encoder usually returns a value range between 0.0 and 1.0. When the value crosses over the zero crossing, it jumps to the other extreme end. This doesn't work well for controllers such as PID control. This class will monitors the crossovers and will increment or decrement the crossover count depending on which direction the value is crossing over. It provides a getContinuousValue method to return a continuous value incorporating the crossover count as part of the value. For example, instead of returning a value between 0.0 and 1.0, it will return a value such as 3.56 where 3 is the number of crossovers.

      public TrcWrapValueConverter(String instanceName, DoubleSupplier valueSupplier, double rangeLow, double rangeHigh)
      Constructor: Creates an instance of the object.
      Parameters:
      instanceName - specifies the instance name.

  • Method Details

    • toString

      public String toString()
      This method returns the instance name.
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object
      Returns:
      instance name.

    • isTaskEnabled

      public boolean isTaskEnabled()
      This method returns the state of the converter task.
      Returns:
      true if converter task is enabled, false otherwise.

    • setTaskEnabled

      public void setTaskEnabled(boolean enabled)
      This method enables/disables the converter task. It is not automatically enabled when created. You must explicitly call this method to enable the converter.
      Parameters:
      enabled - specifies true for enabling the converter, disabling it otherwise.

    • resetConverter

      public void resetConverter()
      This method resets the converter state.

    • getContinuousValue

      public double getContinuousValue()
      This method returns the current continuous value.
      Returns:
      current continuous value.
