phoenix6.controls.neutral_out

Module Contents

class phoenix6.controls.neutral_out.NeutralOut(use_timesync: bool = False)

Request neutral output of actuator. The applied brake type is determined by the NeutralMode configuration.

Parameters:

use_timesync (bool) –

Set to true to delay applying this control request until a timesync boundary (requires Phoenix Pro and CANivore). This eliminates the impact of nondeterministic network delays in exchange for a larger but deterministic control latency.

This requires setting the ControlTimesyncFreqHz config in MotorOutputConfigs. Additionally, when this is enabled, the UpdateFreqHz of this request should be set to 0 Hz.

property name: str

Gets the name of this control request.

Returns:

Name of the control request

Return type:

str

property control_info: dict

Gets information about this control request.

Returns:

Dictonary of control parameter names and corresponding applied values

Return type:

dict

update_freq_hz: phoenix6.units.hertz = 20

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.

use_timesync

Set to true to delay applying this control request until a timesync boundary (requires Phoenix Pro and CANivore). This eliminates the impact of nondeterministic network delays in exchange for a larger but deterministic control latency.

This requires setting the ControlTimesyncFreqHz config in MotorOutputConfigs. Additionally, when this is enabled, the UpdateFreqHz of this request should be set to 0 Hz.

with_use_timesync(new_use_timesync: bool) → NeutralOut

Modifies this Control Request’s use_timesync parameter and returns itself for method-chaining and easier to use request API.

Set to true to delay applying this control request until a timesync boundary (requires Phoenix Pro and CANivore). This eliminates the impact of nondeterministic network delays in exchange for a larger but deterministic control latency.

This requires setting the ControlTimesyncFreqHz config in MotorOutputConfigs. Additionally, when this is enabled, the UpdateFreqHz of this request should be set to 0 Hz.

Parameters:

new_use_timesync (bool) – Parameter to modify

Returns:

Itself

Return type:

NeutralOut

with_update_freq_hz(new_update_freq_hz: phoenix6.units.hertz) → NeutralOut

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.

Parameters:

new_update_freq_hz (hertz) – Parameter to modify

Returns:

Itself

Return type:

NeutralOut
