mrpt::hwdrivers::CBoardIR Class Reference

Detailed Description

A parser of NMEA commands, for connecting to a GPS by a serial port.

This class also supports more advanced GPS equipped with RTK corrections. See the JAVAD/TopCon extra initialization parameters.

  PARAMETERS IN THE ".INI"-LIKE CONFIGURATION STRINGS:
 -------------------------------------------------------
   [supplied_section_name]
    COM_port_WIN = COM3
    COM_port_LIN = ttyS0
    baudRate     = 4800   // The baudrate of the communications (typ. 4800 bauds)
    pose_x       = 0      // 3D position of the sensed point relative to the robot (meters)
    pose_y       = 0
    pose_z       = 0
    customInit   =       // See below for possible values

           // The next parameters are optional and will be used only
    // if customInit=="JAVAD" to enable/configure the usage of RTK corrections:
    //JAVAD_rtk_src_port=/dev/ser/b
    //JAVAD_rtk_src_baud=9600
    //JAVAD_rtk_format=cmr

VERSIONS HISTORY: -9/JUN/2006: First version (JLBC) -4/JUN/2008: Added virtual methods for device-specific initialization commands. -10/JUN/2008: Converted into CGenericSensor class (there are no inhirited classes anymore).

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservation ( const mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr obj) [inline, protected, inherited]

Like appendObservations() but for just one observation.

Definition at line 155 of file CGenericSensor.h.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::appendObservations ( const std::vector< mrpt::utils::CSerializablePtr > &  obj) [protected, inherited]

This method must be called by derived classes to enqueue a new observation in the list to be returned by getObservations.

Passed objects must be created in dynamic memory and a smart pointer passed. Example of creation:

                                CObservationGPSPtr  o = CObservationGPSPtr( new CObservationGPS() );
                                o-> .... // Set data
                                appendObservation(o);

If several observations are passed at once in the vector, they'll be considered as a block regarding the grabbing decimation factor.

static CGenericSensor* mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensor ( const std::string className) [static, inherited]

Creates a sensor by a name of the class.

Typically the user may want to create a smart pointer around the returned pointer, whis is made with:

Returns:
A pointer to a new class, or NULL if class name is unknown.
static CGenericSensorPtr mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::createSensorPtr ( const std::string className) [inline, static, inherited]

Just like createSensor, but returning a smart pointer to the newly created sensor object.

Definition at line 188 of file CGenericSensor.h.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CBoardIR::doProcess ( ) [virtual]

This method should be called periodically (at least at 1Hz to capture ALL the real-time data) It is thread safe, i.e.

you can call this from one thread, then to other methods from other threads. This method processes data from the GPS and update the object state accordingly.

Implements mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor.

unsigned int mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::getExternalImageJPEGQuality ( ) const [inline, inherited]

Parameters:
outObservationThe output observation
outThereIsObservationWill be true if an observation was sucessfully received.
hardwareErrorWill be true if there's some important error, e.g. serial port can't be open.
void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::getObservations ( TListObservations lstObjects) [inherited]

Returns a list of enqueued objects, emptying it (thread-safe).

The objects must be freed by the invoker.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::loadConfig ( const mrpt::utils::CConfigFileBase configSource,
const std::string section 
) [inherited]

Loads the generic settings common to any sensor (See CGenericSensor), then call to "loadConfig_sensorSpecific"

Exceptions:

const std::string iniSection 
) [protected, virtual]

Loads specific configuration for the device from a given source of configuration parameters, for example, an ".ini" file, loading from the section "[iniSection]" (see utils::CConfigFileBase and derived classes) See hwdrivers::CGPSInterface for the possible parameters.

Implements mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor.

bool mrpt::hwdrivers::CBoardIR::OnConnectionEstablished ( ) [protected]
static void mrpt::utils::CDebugOutputCapable::printf_debug ( const char *  frmt,
  ... 
) [static, inherited]

Sends a formated text to "debugOut" if not NULL, or to cout otherwise.

Referenced by mrpt::math::CLevenbergMarquardtTempl::execute().

static void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::registerClass ( const TSensorClassId pNewClass) [static, inherited]

Register a class into the internal list of "CGenericSensor" descendents.

Used internally in the macros DEFINE_GENERIC_SENSOR, etc...

Can be used as "CGenericSensor::registerClass( SENSOR_CLASS_ID(CMySensor) );" if building custom sensors outside mrpt libraries in user code.

void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setExternalImageFormat ( const std::string ext) [inline, inherited]

Set the extension ("jpg","gif","png",...) that determines the format of images saved externally The default is "jpg".

See also:
setExternalImageFormat

Definition at line 238 of file CGenericSensor.h.

virtual void mrpt::hwdrivers::CGenericSensor::setPathForExternalImages ( const std::string directory) [inline, virtual, inherited]

Set the path where to save off-rawlog image files (will be ignored in those sensors where this is not applicable).

An empty string (the default value at construction) means to save images embedded in the rawlog, instead of on separate files.

Exceptions:
std::exceptionIf the directory doesn't exists and cannot be created.

Reimplemented in mrpt::hwdrivers::CKinect, mrpt::hwdrivers::CCameraSensor, and mrpt::hwdrivers::CSwissRanger3DCamera.

Returns true if the COM port is already open, or try to open it in other case.

Returns:
true if everything goes OK, or false if there are problems opening the port.
