public class DifferentialMechanism extends Object
Manages control of a two-axis differential mechanism. This mechanism requires the devices to be Pro licensed and connected to a CAN FD bus. Unlicensed users and users on a CAN 2.0 bus can use the SimpleDifferentialMechanism instead with limited functionality.

    • DifferentialMechanism

      public DifferentialMechanism(TalonFX differentialAddFX, TalonFX differentialSubFX, boolean motorDirectionsAlign)
      Creates a new differential mechanism using the given two TalonFX devices. The mechanism will use the average of the two Talon FX sensors on the primary axis, and the difference between the two Talon FX sensors on the differential axis.

      This mechanism requires the devices to be Pro licensed and connected to a CAN FD bus. Unlicensed users and users on a CAN 2.0 bus can use the SimpleDifferentialMechanism instead with limited functionality.

      Parameters:
      differentialAddFX - The Talon FX that will have the differential output added to its regular output.
      differentialSubFX - The Talon FX that will have the differential output subtracted from its regular output.
      motorDirectionsAlign - Whether the differential motors' directions are aligned.

    • DifferentialMechanism

      public DifferentialMechanism(TalonFX differentialAddFX, TalonFX differentialSubFX, boolean motorDirectionsAlign, Pigeon2 pigeon2, DifferentialMechanism.DifferentialPigeon2Source pigeonSource)
      Creates a new differential mechanism using the given two TalonFX devices and a Pigeon2. The mechanism will use the average of the two Talon FX sensors on the primary axis, and the selected Pigeon 2 sensor source on the differential axis.

      This mechanism requires the devices to be Pro licensed and connected to a CAN FD bus. Unlicensed users and users on a CAN 2.0 bus can use the SimpleDifferentialMechanism instead with limited functionality.

      Parameters:
      differentialAddFX - The Talon FX that will have the differential output added to its regular output.
      differentialSubFX - The Talon FX that will have the differential output subtracted from its regular output.

    • DifferentialMechanism

      public DifferentialMechanism(TalonFX differentialAddFX, TalonFX differentialSubFX, boolean motorDirectionsAlign, CANcoder cancoder)
      Creates a new differential mechanism using the given two TalonFX devices and a CANcoder. The mechanism will use the average of the two Talon FX sensors on the primary axis, and the CANcoder position/velocity on the differential axis.

      This mechanism requires the devices to be Pro licensed and connected to a CAN FD bus. Unlicensed users and users on a CAN 2.0 bus can use the SimpleDifferentialMechanism instead with limited functionality.

      Parameters:

  • Method Details

    • getDifferentialLeader

      public TalonFX getDifferentialLeader()
      Get the Talon FX that is differential leader. The differential leader calculates the output for the differential follower. The differential leader is also useful for fault detection, and it reports status signals for the differential controller.

      Differential leader Talon FX

    • getDifferentialFollower

      public TalonFX getDifferentialFollower()
      Get the Talon FX that is differential follower. The differential follower's position and velocity are used by the differential leader for the differential controller.
      Returns:
      Differential follower Talon FX

    • applyConfigs

      public StatusCode applyConfigs()

      This function defaults to retrying up to kDefaultConfigRetries.

      Returns:
      Status Code of the config applies.

    • applyConfigs

      public StatusCode applyConfigs(int numRetries)
      Apply the mechanism configs to the devices. This should be called after applying all other configs to the devices.

      If the user does not call this function by the time SetControl is called, SetControl will apply the configs once.

      Parameters:
      numRetries - Number of retries when applying the configs
      Returns:
      Status Code of the config applies.
