All Implemented Interfaces:
ParentConfiguration, ISerializable
public class ExternalFeedbackConfigs extends Object implements ParentConfiguration
Configs that affect the external feedback sensor of this motor controller.

Includes feedback sensor source, offsets and sensor phase for the feedback sensor, and various ratios to describe the relationship between the sensor and the mechanism for closed looping.

  • Field Details

    • SensorToMechanismRatio

      public double SensorToMechanismRatio
      The ratio of sensor rotations to the mechanism's output, where a ratio greater than 1 is a reduction.

      This is equivalent to the mechanism's gear ratio if the sensor is located on the input of a gearbox. If sensor is on the output of a gearbox, then this is typically set to 1.

      We recommend against using this config to perform onboard unit conversions. Instead, unit conversions should be performed in robot code using the units library.

      If this is set to zero, the device will reset back to one.

      • Minimum Value: -1000
      • Maximum Value: 1000
      • Default Value: 1.0
      • Units: scalar

    • RotorToSensorRatio

      public double RotorToSensorRatio
      The ratio of motor rotor rotations to remote sensor rotations, where a ratio greater than 1 is a reduction.

      The Talon FX is capable of fusing a remote CANcoder with its rotor sensor to produce a high-bandwidth sensor source. This feature requires specifying the ratio between the motor rotor and the remote sensor.

      If this is set to zero, the device will reset back to one.

      • Minimum Value: -1000
      • Maximum Value: 1000
      • Default Value: 1.0
      • Units: scalar

    • FeedbackRemoteSensorID

      public int FeedbackRemoteSensorID
      Device ID of which remote device to use. This is not used if the Sensor Source is the internal rotor sensor.
      • Minimum Value: 0
      • Maximum Value: 62
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units:

    • VelocityFilterTimeConstant

      public double VelocityFilterTimeConstant
      The configurable time constant of the Kalman velocity filter. The velocity Kalman filter will adjust to act as a low-pass with this value as its time constant.

      If the user is aiming for an expected cutoff frequency, the frequency is calculated as 1 / (2 * π * τ) with τ being the time constant.

      • Minimum Value: 0
      • Maximum Value: 1
      • Default Value: 0
      • Units: seconds

    • AbsoluteSensorOffset

      public double AbsoluteSensorOffset
      The offset applied to any absolute sensor connected to the Talon data port. This is only supported when using the PulseWidth sensor source.

      This can be used to zero the sensor position in applications where the sensor is 1:1 with the mechanism.

      • Minimum Value: -1
      • Maximum Value: 1
      • Default Value: 0.0
      • Units: rotations

    • ExternalFeedbackSensorSource

      public ExternalFeedbackSensorSourceValue ExternalFeedbackSensorSource
      Choose what sensor source is reported via API and used by closed-loop and limit features. The default is Commutation, which uses the external sensor used for motor commutation.

      Choose Remote* to use another sensor on the same CAN bus (this also requires setting FeedbackRemoteSensorID). Talon will update its position and velocity whenever the remote sensor publishes its information on CAN bus, and the Talon commutation sensor will not be used.

      Choose Fused* (requires Phoenix Pro) and Talon will fuse another sensor's information with the commutation sensor, which provides the best possible position and velocity for accuracy and bandwidth (this also requires setting FeedbackRemoteSensorID). This was developed for applications such as swerve-azimuth.

      Choose Sync* (requires Phoenix Pro) and Talon will synchronize its commutation sensor position against another sensor, then continue to use the rotor sensor for closed loop control (this also requires setting FeedbackRemoteSensorID). The Talon will report if its internal position differs significantly from the reported remote sensor position. This was developed for mechanisms where there is a risk of the sensor failing in such a way that it reports a position that does not match the mechanism, such as the sensor mounting assembly breaking off.

      Choose RemotePigeon2_Yaw, RemotePigeon2_Pitch, and RemotePigeon2_Roll to use another Pigeon2 on the same CAN bus (this also requires setting FeedbackRemoteSensorID). Talon will update its position to match the selected value whenever Pigeon2 publishes its information on CAN bus. Note that the Talon position will be in rotations and not degrees.

      Choose Quadrature to use a quadrature encoder directly attached to the Talon data port. This provides velocity and relative position measurements.

      Choose PulseWidth to use a pulse-width encoder directly attached to the Talon data port. This provides velocity and absolute position measurements.

      Note: When the feedback source is changed to Fused* or Sync*, the Talon needs a period of time to fuse before sensor-based (soft-limit, closed loop, etc.) features are used. This period of time is determined by the update frequency of the remote sensor's Position signal.

    • SensorPhase

      public SensorPhaseValue SensorPhase
      The relationship between the motor controlled by a Talon and the external sensor connected to the data port. This does not affect the commutation sensor or remote sensors.

      To determine the sensor phase, set this config to Aligned and drive the motor with positive output. If the reported sensor velocity is positive, then the phase is Aligned. If the reported sensor velocity is negative, then the phase is Opposed.

      The sensor direction is automatically inverted along with motor invert, so the sensor phase does not need to be changed when motor invert changes.

    • QuadratureEdgesPerRotation

      public int QuadratureEdgesPerRotation
      The number of quadrature edges in one rotation for the quadrature sensor connected to the Talon data port.

      This is the total number of transitions from high-to-low or low-to-high across both channels per rotation of the sensor. This is also equivalent to the Counts Per Revolution when using 4x decoding.

      For example, the SRX Mag Encoder has 4096 edges per rotation, and a US Digital 1024 CPR (Cycles Per Revolution) quadrature encoder has 4096 edges per rotation.

      On the Talon FXS, this can be at most 2,000,000,000 / Peak RPM.

      • Minimum Value: 1
      • Maximum Value: 1000000
      • Default Value: 4096
      • Units:

    • AbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint

      public double 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 (after offset) 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.

      Given a total range of motion less than 1 rotation, users can calculate the discontinuity point using mean(lowerLimit, upperLimit) + 0.5. If that results in a value outside the range [0, 1], either cap the value to [0, 1], or add/subtract 1.0 rotation from your lower and upper limits of motion.

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

    • withAbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint

      public ExternalFeedbackConfigs withAbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint(double newAbsoluteSensorDiscontinuityPoint)
      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 (after offset) 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.

      Given a total range of motion less than 1 rotation, users can calculate the discontinuity point using mean(lowerLimit, upperLimit) + 0.5. If that results in a value outside the range [0, 1], either cap the value to [0, 1], or add/subtract 1.0 rotation from your lower and upper limits of motion.

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

    • withFusedCANdiPwm1

      public ExternalFeedbackConfigs withFusedCANdiPwm1(CoreCANdi device)
      Helper method to configure this feedback group to use FusedCANdi PWM 1 by passing in the CANdi object.

      When using FusedCANdi (requires Phoenix Pro), the Talon will fuse another CANdi™ branded device's information with the internal rotor, which provides the best possible position and velocity for accuracy and bandwidth.

      Parameters:
      device - CANdi reference to use for FusedCANdi
      Returns:
      Itself

    • withFusedCANdiPwm2

      public ExternalFeedbackConfigs withFusedCANdiPwm2(CoreCANdi device)
      Helper method to configure this feedback group to use FusedCANdi PWM 2 by passing in the CANdi object.

      When using FusedCANdi (requires Phoenix Pro), the Talon will fuse another CANdi™ branded device's information with the internal rotor, which provides the best possible position and velocity for accuracy and bandwidth.

      Parameters:
      device - CANdi reference to use for FusedCANdi

    • withSyncCANdiPwm1

      public ExternalFeedbackConfigs withSyncCANdiPwm1(CoreCANdi device)
      Helper method to configure this feedback group to use SyncCANdi PWM 1 by passing in the CANdi object.

      When using SyncCANdi (requires Phoenix Pro), the Talon will synchronize its internal rotor position against another CANdi™ branded device, then continue to use the rotor sensor for closed loop control. The Talon will report if its internal position differs significantly from the reported CANdi™ branded device's position. SyncCANdi was developed for mechanisms where there is a risk of the CANdi™ branded device failing in such a way that it reports a position that does not match the mechanism, such as the sensor mounting assembly breaking off.

      Parameters:
      device - CANdi reference to use for SyncCANdi
      Returns:
      Itself
