Currently, these two tests take several seconds to complete and fail
intermittently in Windows CI. This is caused by relying on wall clock
time.
Sampling the trajectory with wall clock time means the simulation must
run for several seconds to reach the end of the trajectory. Also, the
controller can become unstable when Windows CI experiences process
scheduling delays of several hundred milliseconds. Feedback controllers
don't cope well with large delays on systems with fast dynamics.
This patch uses the mocking functionality of frc::Timer to advance the
clock by 5ms at every timestep instead of using the wall clock time.
This has two benefits:
1. The tests complete much faster because the simulation can step
forward faster than real time.
2. The controller is more stable because the sample period is uniform,
which should fix the occasional failures.
pose.Translation().X() and pose.Translation.Y() are common operations,
so shortening them to pose.X() and pose.Y() would be convenient.
Java uses the getX() convention so that is used instead of X() for Java.
Also move some things in HAL for consistency.
WAS:
C++:
- C APIs: #include "mockdata/AccelerometerData.h"
- User side class: #include "simulation/AccelerometerSim.h"
Java:
- JNI APIs: hal.sim.mockdata.AccelerometerData (and a few classes in hal.sim)
- User side classes: hal.sim.AccelerometerSim
IS:
C++:
- C APIs: #include "hal/simulation/AccelerometerData.h"
- C++ class: #include "frc/simulation/AccelerometerSim.h"
Java:
- JNI APIs: hal.simulation.AccelerometerData
- User side class: wpilibj.simulation.AccelerometerSim
This is an inline decorator for setting the name of a command
(equivalent to calling setName()).
It's not possible to implement this for C++, as it would slice the derived
class to return it by value.
The current hasPeriodPassed() function is confusing. In preparation for deprecating it,
add new advanceIfElapsed() function with same functionality and hasElapsed() function
which only checks that the time period has elapsed and does not advance the timer.
Also fix a couple of incorrect usages of hasPeriodPassed().
C++ JoystickButton and POVButton were both nonfunctional due to slicing when trigger passes itself by value to the button scheduler it creates.
Fix is to remove the virtual Get() method entirely and use only the m_isActive functor; since the subclass now passes the button condition back as a functor to the base class, in which it's stored as a member, it will now still work after being sliced.
- new CommandScheduler
- kinematics and odometry classes
- new PIDController
- ProfiledPIDController
- TrapezoidProfile (reported in Constraints class)
Also update instances.txt to match latest NI version.
One side effect is that a couple of classes are no longer constexpr.
Improves the APIs for various prebuilt subsystems (PIDSubsystem, TrapezoidProfileSubsystem, ProfiledPIDSubsystem). Addresses #2128, and also changes the rather cumbersome getSetpoint API to a more intuitive setSetpoint one. Updates examples to match.
