Detailed Description

IterativeRobot implements a specific type of Robot Program framework, extending the RobotBase class.

The IterativeRobot class is intended to be subclassed by a user creating a robot program.

This class is intended to implement the "old style" default code, by providing the following functions which are called by the main loop, StartCompetition(), at the appropriate times:

RobotInit() – provide for initialization at robot power-on

Init() functions – each of the following functions is called once when the appropriate mode is entered:

• DisabledInit() – called only when first disabled
• AutonomousInit() – called each and every time autonomous is entered from another mode
• TeleopInit() – called each and every time teleop is entered from another mode
• TestInit() – called each and every time test is entered from another mode

Periodic() functions – each of these functions is called iteratively at the appropriate periodic rate (aka the "slow loop"). The default period of the iterative robot is synced to the driver station control packets, giving a periodic frequency of about 50Hz (50 times per second).

• DisabledPeriodic()
• AutonomousPeriodic()
• TeleopPeriodic()
• TestPeriodic()

Constructor for RobotIterativeBase

The constructor initializes the instance variables for the robot to indicate the status of initialization for disabled, autonomous, teleop, and test code.

Member Function Documentation

void IterativeRobot::AutonomousInit ( )

virtual

Initialization code for autonomous mode should go here.

Users should override this method for initialization code which will be called each time the robot enters autonomous mode.

void IterativeRobot::AutonomousPeriodic ( )

virtual

Periodic code for autonomous mode should go here.

Users should override this method for code which will be called periodically at a regular rate while the robot is in autonomous mode.

void IterativeRobot::DisabledInit ( )

virtual

Initialization code for disabled mode should go here.

Users should override this method for initialization code which will be called each time the robot enters disabled mode.

void IterativeRobot::DisabledPeriodic ( )

virtual

Periodic code for disabled mode should go here.

Users should override this method for code which will be called periodically at a regular rate while the robot is in disabled mode.

double IterativeRobot::GetLoopsPerSec

(

)

Get the number of loops per second for the IterativeRobot

Returns

Frequency of the periodic function calls

double IterativeRobot::GetPeriod

(

)

Get the period for the periodic functions. Returns 0.0 if configured to syncronize with DS control data packets.

Returns

Period of the periodic function calls

void IterativeRobot::RobotInit ( )

virtual

Robot-wide initialization code should go here.

Users should override this method for default Robot-wide initialization which will be called when the robot is first powered on. It will be called exactly 1 time.

void IterativeRobot::SetPeriod

(

double

period

)

Set the period for the periodic functions.

Parameters

period

The period of the periodic function calls. 0.0 means sync to driver station control data.

void IterativeRobot::StartCompetition ( )

virtual

Provide an alternate "main loop" via StartCompetition().

This specific StartCompetition() implements "main loop" behavior like that of the FRC control system in 2008 and earlier, with a primary (slow) loop that is called periodically, and a "fast loop" (a.k.a. "spin loop") that is called as fast as possible with no delay between calls.

Implements RobotBase.

void IterativeRobot::TeleopInit ( )

virtual

Initialization code for teleop mode should go here.

Users should override this method for initialization code which will be called each time the robot enters teleop mode.

void IterativeRobot::TeleopPeriodic ( )

virtual

Periodic code for teleop mode should go here.

Users should override this method for code which will be called periodically at a regular rate while the robot is in teleop mode.

void IterativeRobot::TestInit ( )

virtual

Initialization code for test mode should go here.

Users should override this method for initialization code which will be called each time the robot enters test mode.

void IterativeRobot::TestPeriodic ( )

virtual

Periodic code for test mode should go here.

Users should override this method for code which will be called periodically at a regular rate while the robot is in test mode.
