This changes the HAL notifier interface to:
- Use wpiutil signal objects. This means waiting is done through the
`WPI_WaitObject` API instead of a dedicated function and allows for
higher level code to simultaneously wait on notifiers and other events.
- Interval timers are supported at the HAL layer
- Handlers are now required to acknowledge notifications. This is
invisible to users unless they're directly using the HAL API.
- For interval timers, an overrun count is maintained to detect if the
handler didn't acknowledge
The underlying implementation still uses condition variables for the
actual waiting. In basic testing using this approach seemed to be lower
jitter than timerfd.
Currently, the simulation and systemcore implementations are nearly
identical except for a few additional sim hook bits. This could be
refactored, but keeping them separate may make sense to keep the
systemcore implementation easy to read and reason about, or if we ever
choose to use a different underlying timer implementation on systemcore.
The simulation side API is unchanged in form but does change in
function--waiting for notifiers now only waits for currently running (or
newly signaled) notifiers to acknowledge. To avoid a race condition in
sim stepTiming, users of the low level API must make any alarm updates
(especially for one-shot alarms) prior to acknowledging the previous
alarm.
The only current use of the interval timer feature is the `Notifier`
class. The `TimedRobot` implementation still uses a single notifier and
its own interval timing logic to ensure consistent callback order. Using
separate notifiers for each user-level interval would substantially
increase complexity. `Watchdog` also doesn't use the interval timer, as
it's looking for an amount of time since the last `set` call rather than
a recurring interval time.
To reduce flicker, the sim GUI uses a fade out when a timeout goes from
set to unset.
This fixes tsan for wpilib and commands, and also fixes some spurious
test failures.
* Moved makeWhiteNoiseVector() to random.Normal.normal()
* Moved isControllable() and isDetectable() to system.LinearSystemUtil
* Renamed makeCostMatrix() to costMatrix() (Java)
* Renamed makeCovarianceMatrix() to covarianceMatrix() (Java)
* Renamed MakeCostMatrix() to CostMatrix() (C++)
* Renamed MakeCovMatrix() to CovarianceMatrix() (C++)
* Removed deprecated poseTo3dVector(), poseTo4dVector(), poseToVector()
* Removed clampInputMaxMagnitude()
* We don't use it, and Eigen has this functionality built in via `u =
u.array().min(u_max.array()).max(u_min.array());`
* Simplified implementation of desaturateInputVector()
Now rgb() and color constants are supported.
Changed from constructor to fromString() factory function to enable
directly returning color constant values.
Support joystick outputs, including Rumble and LEDs.
Also requires an update to Joystick descriptors, as that has also
changed in mrccomm to support showing what outputs are supported.
Instead of just having a max count for joystick values, there's an available mask of values. This is because in the future we're expecting there to be holes in the list of available buttons and axes. This updates everything to support that scenario.
Also, Joystick buttons, axes, and POVs all now start at 0 instead of 1.
SystemCore doesn't directly support Servos. It would be possible to still use a Servo Power Module, but those are fairly rare, and we should probably use a different class for that case, so users don't attempt to hook a servo directly up to systemcore. That will depend on what happens with the rules in 2027.
Rev Servo Hubs are a current working replacement for systemcore users.
These were apparently a meme about state being hard to manage rather
than a statement about the code itself. I spent a while trying to find
some complex logic this comment was alluding to that would indicate why
it's "a nightmare to manage".
