    • SimpleDifferentialMechanism

      public SimpleDifferentialMechanism(TalonFX differentialAddFX, TalonFX differentialSubFX, boolean motorDirectionsAlign)
      Creates a new simple 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 provides limited differential functionality. Pro users on a CAN FD bus can use the DifferentialMechanism class instead for full 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.

  • 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.
      Returns:
      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()
      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.

      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.

    • periodic

      public void periodic()
      Call this method periodically to keep the mechanism state updated.

    • isDisabled

      public boolean isDisabled()
      Get whether the mechanism is currently disabled due to an issue.
      Returns:
      true if the mechanism is temporarily disabled

    • requiresUserAction

      public boolean requiresUserAction()
      Get whether the mechanism is currently disabled and requires user action to re-enable mechanism control.
      Returns:
      true if the mechanism is disabled and the user must manually perform an action

    • getMechanismState

      public MechanismState getMechanismState()
      Gets the state of the mechanism.
      Returns:
      MechanismState representing the state of the mechanism

    • clearUserRequirement

      public void clearUserRequirement()
      Indicate to the mechanism that the user has performed the required action to resume mechanism control.

    • getDisabledReason

      public SimpleDifferentialMechanism.DisabledReason getDisabledReason()
      Returns:
      The reason for the mechanism being disabled

    • getRequiresUserReason

      The reason for the mechanism requiring user action to resume control

    • setNeutralOut

      public StatusCode setNeutralOut()
      Request neutral output of mechanism. The applied brake type is determined by the NeutralMode configuration of each device.
