Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ArGripper::Type
 

These are the types for the gripper.

Enumeration values:
QUERYTYPE  Finds out what type from the robot, default.
GENIO  Uses general IO.
USERIO  Uses the user IO.
GRIPPAC  Uses a packet requested from the robot.
NOGRIPPER  There isn't a gripper.

Definition at line 130 of file ArGripper.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ArGripper::ArGripper (  ArRobot *  robot,
int  gripperType = QUERYTYPE
) 
 

Constructor.

Parameters:
robot The robot this gripper is attached to
gripperType How to communicate with the gripper: see ArGripper::Type. The default, QUERYTYPE, will work with most robot configurations with a recent firmware version.

Definition at line 37 of file ArGripper.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

int ArGripper::getBreakBeamState (  void   )  const
 

Returns the state of the gripper's breakbeams.

Returns:
0 if no breakbeams broken, 1 if inner breakbeam broken, 2 if outter breakbeam broken, 3 if both breakbeams broken

Definition at line 339 of file ArGripper.cpp.

int ArGripper::getGraspTime (  void   )  const
 

Gets the grasp time.

If you are using this as anything other than GRIPPAC and you want to find out the grasp time again, just do a setType with QUERYTYPE and it will query the robot again and get the grasp time from the robot.

Returns:
the number of 20 MSec intervals the gripper will continue grasping for after both paddles are triggered

Definition at line 541 of file ArGripper.cpp.

int ArGripper::getGripState (  void   )  const
 

Returns the state of the gripper paddles.

Returns:
0 if gripper paddles between open and closed, 1 if gripper paddles are open, 2 if gripper paddles are closed

Definition at line 303 of file ArGripper.cpp.

long ArGripper::getMSecSinceLastPacket (  void   )  const
 

Gets the number of mSec since the last gripper packet.

Returns:
the number of milliseconds since the last packet

Definition at line 529 of file ArGripper.cpp.

int ArGripper::getPaddleState (  void   )  const
 

Returns the state of each gripper paddle.

Returns:
0 if no gripper paddles are triggered, 1 if the left paddle is triggered, 2 if the right paddle is triggered, 3 if both are triggered

Definition at line 269 of file ArGripper.cpp.

int ArGripper::getType (  void   )  const
