    • waitForAll

      public static StatusCode waitForAll​(double timeoutSeconds, BaseStatusSignal... signals)
      Waits for new data on all provided signals up to timeout. This API is typically used with CANivore Bus signals as they will be synced using the CANivore Timesync feature and arrive simultaneously. Signals on a roboRIO bus cannot be synced and may require a significantly longer blocking call to receive all signals.

      Note that CANivore Timesync requires Phoenix Pro.

      This can also be used with a timeout of zero to refresh many signals at once, which is faster than calling refresh() on every signal. This is equivalent to calling refreshAll(com.ctre.phoenix6.BaseStatusSignal...).

      Parameters:
      timeoutSeconds - Maximum time to wait for new data in seconds. Pass zero to refresh all signals without blocking.
      signals - Signals to wait for new data against
      Returns:
      An InvalidParamValue if signals array is empty, InvalidNetwork if signals are on different CAN bus networks, RxTimeout if it took longer than timeoutSeconds to receive all the signals, MultiSignalNotSupported if using the roboRIO bus with more than one signal and a non-zero timeout. An OK status code means that all signals arrived within timeoutSeconds and they are all OK. Any other value represents the StatusCode of the first failed signal. Call getStatus() on each signal to determine which ones failed.
    • refreshAll

      public static StatusCode refreshAll​(BaseStatusSignal... signals)
      Performs a non-blocking refresh on all provided signals.

      This provides a performance improvement over separately calling refresh() on each signal.

      Parameters:
      signals - Signals to refresh
      Returns:
      An InvalidParamValue if signals array is empty, InvalidNetwork if signals are on different CAN bus networks. An OK status code means that all signals are OK. Any other value represents the StatusCode of the first failed signal. Call getStatus() on each signal to determine which ones failed.
    • getLatencyCompensatedValue

      public static double getLatencyCompensatedValue​(StatusSignal<Double> signal, StatusSignal<Double> signalSlope)
      Performs latency compensation on signal using the signalSlope and signal's latency to determine the magnitude of compensation. The caller must refresh these StatusSignals beforehand; this function only does the math required for latency compensation.

      Important: The signalSlope must be the rate of change of the signal. If it is not the latency compensation may not perform as expected.

      This compensates for up to 300ms of latency by default.

      Example: double compensatedTurns = BaseStatusSignal.getLatencyCompensatedValue(fx.getPosition(), fx.getVelocity());

      Parameters:
      signal - Signal to be latency compensated. Caller must make sure this signal is up to date either by calling StatusSignal.refresh() or StatusSignal.waitForUpdate(double).
      signalSlope - Derivative of signal that informs compensation magnitude. Caller must make sure this signal is up to date either by calling StatusSignal.refresh() or StatusSignal.waitForUpdate(double).
      Returns:
      Latency compensated value from the signal StatusSignal.
    • getLatencyCompensatedValue

      public static double getLatencyCompensatedValue​(StatusSignal<Double> signal, StatusSignal<Double> signalSlope, double maxLatencySeconds)
      Performs latency compensation on signal using the signalSlope and signal's latency to determine the magnitude of compensation. The caller must refresh these StatusSignals beforehand; this function only does the math required for latency compensation.

      Important: The signalSlope must be the rate of change of the signal. If it is not the latency compensation may not perform as expected.

      Example: double compensatedTurns = BaseStatusSignal.getLatencyCompensatedValue(fx.getPosition(), fx.getVelocity());

      Parameters:
      signal - Signal to be latency compensated. Caller must make sure this signal is up to date either by calling StatusSignal.refresh() or StatusSignal.waitForUpdate(double).
      signalSlope - Derivative of signal that informs compensation magnitude. Caller must make sure this signal is up to date either by calling StatusSignal.refresh() or StatusSignal.waitForUpdate(double).
      maxLatencySeconds - The maximum amount of latency to compensate for in seconds. A negative or zero value disables the max latency cap. This is used to cap the contribution of latency compensation for stale signals, such as after the device has been disconnected from the CAN bus.
      Returns:
      Latency compensated value from the signal StatusSignal.
    • isAllGood

      public static boolean isAllGood​(BaseStatusSignal... signals)
      Checks if all signals have an OK error code.
      Parameters:
      signals - Signals to check error code of
      Returns:
      True if all are good, false otherwise
    • setUpdateFrequencyForAll

      public static StatusCode setUpdateFrequencyForAll​(double frequencyHz, BaseStatusSignal... signals)
      Sets the update frequency of all specified status signals to the provided common frequency.

      A frequency of 0 Hz will turn off the signal. Otherwise, the minimum supported signal frequency is 4 Hz, and the maximum is 1000 Hz.

      If other StatusSignals in the same status frame have been set to an update frequency, the fastest requested update frequency will be applied to the frame.

      This will wait up to 0.050 seconds (50ms) for each signal.

      Parameters:
      frequencyHz - Rate to publish the signal in Hz.
      signals - Signals to apply the update frequency to
      Returns:
      Status code of the first failed update frequency set call, or OK if all succeeded
    • setUpdateFrequency

      public StatusCode setUpdateFrequency​(double frequencyHz)
      Sets the rate at which the device will publish this signal.

      A frequency of 0 Hz will turn off the signal. Otherwise, the minimum supported signal frequency is 4 Hz, and the maximum is 1000 Hz.

      If other StatusSignals in the same status frame have been set to an update frequency, the fastest requested update frequency will be applied to the frame.

      This will wait up to 0.050 seconds (50ms) by default.

      Parameters:
      frequencyHz - Rate to publish the signal in Hz.
      Returns:
      Status code of setting the update frequency
    • setUpdateFrequency

      public abstract StatusCode setUpdateFrequency​(double frequencyHz, double timeoutSeconds)
      Sets the rate at which the device will publish this signal.

      A frequency of 0 Hz will turn off the signal. Otherwise, the minimum supported signal frequency is 4 Hz, and the maximum is 1000 Hz.

      If other StatusSignals in the same status frame have been set to an update frequency, the fastest requested update frequency will be applied to the frame.

      Parameters:
      frequencyHz - Rate to publish the signal in Hz.
      timeoutSeconds - Maximum amount of time to wait when performing the action
      Returns:
      Status code of setting the update frequency
    • getAppliedUpdateFrequency

      public abstract double getAppliedUpdateFrequency()
      Gets the rate at which the device will publish this signal.

      This is typically the last value passed into setUpdateFrequency(double). The returned value may be higher if another StatusSignal in the same status frame has been set to a higher update frequency.

      Returns:
      Applied update frequency of the signal in Hz
