Add a prmJointState type to match ROS Joint State message #24

Closed adeguet1 closed 9 years ago

adeguet1 commented 9 years ago

ROS uses a single message to pass:

We should create a cisst/SAW message matching this and provide a conversion method. For the dVRK we can provide a measured joint state using the sawRobotIO class with the last encoder reading for position, compute a velocity, and report the current feedback. We can also provide a desired joint state using the info from the PID class and the computed requested current.

Done.
