public class MagnetSensorConfigs extends Object implements ParentConfiguration
Configs that affect the magnet sensor and how to interpret it.

Includes sensor direction, the sensor discontinuity point, and the magnet offset.

  • Field Details

    • SensorDirection

      Direction of the sensor to determine positive rotation, as seen facing the LED side of the CANcoder.
    • MagnetOffset

      public double MagnetOffset
      This offset is added to the reported position, allowing the application to trim the zero position. When set to the default value of zero, position reports zero when magnet north pole aligns with the LED.
      • Minimum Value: -1
      • Maximum Value: 1
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: rotations
    • AbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint

      The positive discontinuity point of the absolute sensor in rotations. This determines the point at which the absolute sensor wraps around, keeping the absolute position in the range [x-1, x).
      • Setting this to 1 makes the absolute position unsigned [0, 1)
      • Setting this to 0.5 makes the absolute position signed [-0.5, 0.5)
      • Setting this to 0 makes the absolute position always negative [-1, 0)
      Many rotational mechanisms such as arms have a region of motion that is unreachable. This should be set to the center of that region of motion, in non-negative rotations. This affects the position of the device at bootup.

      For example, consider an arm which can travel from -0.2 to 0.6 rotations with a little leeway, where 0 is horizontally forward. Since -0.2 rotations has the same absolute position as 0.8 rotations, we can say that the arm typically does not travel in the range (0.6, 0.8) rotations. As a result, the discontinuity point would be the center of that range, which is 0.7 rotations. This results in an absolute sensor range of [-0.3, 0.7) rotations.

      On a Talon motor controller, this is only supported when using the PulseWidth sensor source.

      • Minimum Value: 0.0

      Modifies this configuration's AbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint parameter and returns itself for method-chaining and easier to use config API.

      The positive discontinuity point of the absolute sensor in rotations. This determines the point at which the absolute sensor wraps around, keeping the absolute position in the range [x-1, x).

      • Setting this to 1 makes the absolute position unsigned [0, 1)
