DifferentialFollower Class

Follow the differential motor output of another Talon.

If Talon is in torque control, the torque is copied - which will increase the total torque applied. If Talon is in percent supply output control, the duty cycle is matched. Motor direction either matches master's configured direction or opposes it based on OpposeMasterDirection.

Constructors

DifferentialFollower Follow the differential motor output of another Talon.

If Talon is in torque control, the torque is copied - which will increase the total torque applied. If Talon is in percent supply output control, the duty cycle is matched. Motor direction either matches master's configured direction or opposes it based on OpposeMasterDirection. MasterID Device ID of the differential master to follow. OpposeMasterDirection Set to false for motor invert to match the master's configured Invert - which is typical when master and follower are mechanically linked and spin in the same direction. Set to true for motor invert to oppose the master's configured Invert - this is typical where the the master and follower mechanically spin in opposite directions.

Properties

ConfigTimeout The timeout when sending configs associated with this control
ControlInfo Plain old data container holding name-value pairs of the control request parameters
(Inherited from ControlRequest)
MasterID Device ID of the differential master to follow.
OpposeMasterDirection Set to false for motor invert to match the master's configured Invert - which is typical when master and follower are mechanically linked and spin in the same direction. Set to true for motor invert to oppose the master's configured Invert - this is typical where the the master and follower mechanically spin in opposite directions.
UpdateFreqHz The period at which this control will update at. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms).

If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition. In this case, we recommend not exceeding 50 ms between control calls.

Methods

EqualsDetermines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.
(Inherited from Object)
FinalizeAllows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection.
(Inherited from Object)
ForceApplyConfigs Forces configs to be applied the next time this is used in a setControl.

This is not necessary in the majority of cases, because Phoenix will make sure configs are properly set when they are not already set

GetHashCodeServes as the default hash function.
(Inherited from Object)
GetTypeGets the Type of the current instance.
(Inherited from Object)
MemberwiseCloneCreates a shallow copy of the current Object.
(Inherited from Object)
SendRequest Sends this request out over CAN bus to the device for the device to apply.
(Overrides ControlRequestSendRequest(String, UInt32, Boolean))
ToString Provides the string representation of this object
(Overrides ObjectToString)
WithUpdateFreqHz Sets the period at which this control will update at. This is designated in Hertz, with a minimum of 20 Hz (every 50 ms) and a maximum of 1000 Hz (every 1 ms).

If this field is set to 0 Hz, the control request will be sent immediately as a one-shot frame. This may be useful for advanced applications that require outputs to be synchronized with data acquisition. In this case, we recommend not exceeding 50 ms between control calls.
