This implements de/serialization for the types that aren't templated (SwerveDriveKinematics) in C++ or where there is no trivial way to go round-trip (Splines) for the messages.
To reduce the need for users to manually perform unit conversions, this allows Measure objects from wpiunits to be passed into most places in wpimath that currently expect doubles in terms of SI units like meters.
For example, users would need to know that unit conversion is required - and what the correct units are. Using units would be more difficult to write code for than just hardcoding a value or using Units.inchesToMeters.
Now, using units has no more developer overhead than using raw numbers.
ProfiledPIDController and ExponentialProfile use current, then goal.
This isn't a breaking change because this overload of calculate() is
new for 2024.
This adds support for two serialization formats for complex data types:
- Protobuf for complex objects with variable length internals that need forward and backward wire compatibility (lower speed, more flexible)
- Raw struct (ByteBuffer-style) for fixed-length objects (higher speed, less flexible)
Deserialization can be done either by creating a new object (for immutable objects) or overwriting the contents of an existing object (for mutable objects).
Implementing classes should provide inner classes that implement the Protobuf or Struct interface (in Java) or specialize the wpi::Protobuf or wpi::Struct struct (in C++). It is possible for classes to implement both. If the class itself does not implement serialization, it's possible for third parties/users to provide an implementation instead.
Uses the Google protobuf implementation for C++ and the QuickBuffers alternative protobuf implementation for Java.
The goal of this addition is to allow LinearSystemId.createDCMotorSystem to use kV and KA instead of the moment of inertia, DCMotor object, and gearing.
Adds overloads for Transform2d() constructor to accept x, y, and heading and for Transform3d() to accept x, y, z and rotation as a shorthand for the normal constructors.
The following source code changes were required:
* Whitespace changes from spotless
* PMD warning suppressions for utility class tests
* PMD warning rename from "BeanMembersShouldSerialize" to
"NonSerializableClass"
* Declared more class members as final
