This avoids users having to call both IsOperatorControl() and IsEnabled() to figure out if their robot is
enabled and in the teleop state. The expression above involves calling two methods that each have their
own lock.
These new methods should only involve locking one mutex, since only one call is made to HAL_GetControlWord().
The wpimath library is a new library designed to separate the reusable math functionality
from the common utility library (wpiutil) and the hardware-dependent library (wpilibc/j).
Package names / include file names were NOT changed to minimize breakage. In a future year
it would be good to revamp these for a more uniform user experience and to reduce the risk
of accidental naming conflicts.
While theoretically all of this functionality could be placed into wpiutil, several pieces
of this library (e.g. DARE) are very time-consuming to compile, so it's nice to avoid this
expense for users who only want cscore or ntcore. It also allows for easy future separation
of build tasks vs number of workers on memory-constrained machines.
This moves the following functionality from wpiutil into wpimath:
- Eigen
- ejml
- Drake
- DARE
- wpiutil.math package (Matrix etc)
- units
And the following functionality from wpilibc/j into wpimath:
- Geometry
- Kinematics
- Spline
- Trajectory
- LinearFilter
- MedianFilter
- Feed-forward controllers
- 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.
It doesn't make sense to continue to provide a less accurate method of performing odometry
when a more accurate method using distances exists.
This also removes the need to pass DifferentialDriveKinematics to the constructor.
This kind of filter is extremely useful for signals that are susceptible to sudden
outliers - ultrasonics, 1-D LIDAR, and results from vision processing are all
good use-cases.
This also modifies the existing ultrasonic examples accordingly.
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.
The odometry classes previously took in the robot angle as an argument, meaning that users had to take care of offsetting the gyro themselves to accurately report the robot angle. This change will make it so that users will not have to worry about resetting gyros and adding offsets themselves, as this will be handled by the odometry classes.
This is useful for both cleanly exiting from simulation and for unit testing
at a framework level.
This change required removing move constructor/assignment from IterativeRobot.
