MotorVals Message Doesn't Have Thruster Names #8

Closed canondetortugas closed 11 years ago

canondetortugas commented 11 years ago

Under the new thruster force simulation scheme mentioned here, we need to know which named thruster model corresponds to a given motor value in our motor value message. The MotorVals message currently used by seabee3_driver only contains an array of motor values.

There are two options:

The first option would be a little easier to implement and probably have slightly better performance, but the second option is a little more versatile.

Made new MotorPower message which has a power field and a name field. Also made MotorPowerArray.
