Detailed Description

Class for reading analog potentiometers.

Analog potentiometers read in an analog voltage that corresponds to a position. The position is in whichever units you choose, by way of the scaling and offset constants passed to the constructor.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

AnalogPotentiometer::AnalogPotentiometer ( int  channel,
double  fullRange = 1.0,
double  offset = 0.0 
)
explicit

AnalogPotentiometer constructor.

Construct an Analog Potentiometer object from a channel number.

Use the fullRange and offset values so that the output produces meaningful values. I.E: you have a 270 degree potentiometer and you want the output to be degrees with the halfway point as 0 degrees. The fullRange value is 270.0(degrees) and the offset is -135.0 since the halfway point after scaling is 135 degrees.

This will calculate the result from the fullRange times the fraction of the supply voltage, plus the offset.

Parameters
channelThe analog channel this potentiometer is plugged into.
fullRangeThe scaling to multiply the voltage by to get a meaningful unit.
offsetThe offset to add to the scaled value for controlling the zero value
channelThe channel number on the roboRIO to represent. 0-3 are on-board 4-7 are on the MXP port.
fullRangeThe angular value (in desired units) representing the full 0-5V range of the input.
offsetThe angular value (in desired units) representing the angular output at 0V.
AnalogPotentiometer::AnalogPotentiometer ( AnalogInput input,
double  fullRange = 1.0,
double  offset = 0.0 
)
explicit

Construct an Analog Potentiometer object from an existing Analog Input pointer.

Parameters
channelThe existing Analog Input pointer
fullRangeThe angular value (in desired units) representing the full 0-5V range of the input.
offsetThe angular value (in desired units) representing the angular output at 0V.
AnalogPotentiometer::AnalogPotentiometer ( std::shared_ptr< AnalogInput input,
double  fullRange = 1.0,
double  offset = 0.0 
)
explicit

Construct an Analog Potentiometer object from an existing Analog Input pointer.

Parameters
channelThe existing Analog Input pointer
fullRangeThe angular value (in desired units) representing the full 0-5V range of the input.
offsetThe angular value (in desired units) representing the angular output at 0V.
