TOP PRIORITY - Loader Arm Sensor (updated) #4

Closed webtekz closed 8 years ago

webtekz commented 8 years ago

If you want to work on this task, and I am not there, please respond to this issue and I will assign it to you. Use any help you need, and feel free to work with anyone else, but by being assigned an issue, you are taking responsibility for it. It's not really a huge deal if you mess up, but I would appreciate some effort to try your best.

The arm sensor has been declared as loaderSensor in the Launcher subsystem. It is a digital input. We need the loader arm to rotate 360 degrees once at the press of a button, using the sensor as a reference starting point. The way I would recommend doing this is by creating a new command and setting it to run once (IsFinished returns true) when a joystick button is pressed. To avoid the command being looped over and over as long as the button as pressed, use the WhenPressed function rather than the WhileHeld function. REMEMBER: Creation of new objects (commands, subsystems, I/O) as well as configuration of joysticks should be done through RobotBuilder.

Tell this command to run a new function within the Launcher subsystem that runs the motor for a short amount of time (use Wait(time) to delay a program) and then listens for a true return from loaderSensor->Get(), after which we stop the motor

@webtekz I would like to take on this issue.

Done. Ask if you have any questions.

And, apologies for my lack of communication so far. I have tried to send an email, among other things, it's honestly been quite difficult. I cannot meet you in person, due to my schedule with PSEO and all it is physically impossible for me to do so.
