Class StrictFollower

java.lang.Object
com.ctre.phoenixpro.controls.ControlRequest
com.ctre.phoenixpro.controls.StrictFollower
public class StrictFollower
extends ControlRequest
Follow the motor output of another Talon while ignoring the master's invert setting.

If Talon is in torque control, the torque is copied - which will increase the total torque applied. If Talon is in percent supply output control, the duty cycle is matched. Motor direction is strictly determined by the configured invert and not the master. If you want motor direction to match or oppose the master, use FollowerRequest instead.

  • Field Details

    • MasterID

      public int MasterID
      Device ID of the master to follow.

    • UpdateFreqHz

      public double UpdateFreqHz
      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.

    • configTimeout

      public double configTimeout
      The timeout when sending configs associated with this control

  • Constructor Details

    • StrictFollower

      public StrictFollower​(int MasterID)
      Follow the motor output of another Talon while ignoring the master's invert setting.

      If Talon is in torque control, the torque is copied - which will increase the total torque applied. If Talon is in percent supply output control, the duty cycle is matched. Motor direction is strictly determined by the configured invert and not the master. If you want motor direction to match or oppose the master, use FollowerRequest instead.

      Parameters:
      MasterID - Device ID of the master to follow.

  • Method Details

    • toString

      public String toString()
      Overrides:
      toString in class Object

    • sendRequest

      public StatusCode sendRequest​(String network, int deviceHash, boolean cancelOtherRequests)
      Specified by:
      sendRequest in class ControlRequest

    • withMasterID

      public StrictFollower withMasterID​(int newMasterID)
      Modifies this Control Request's MasterID parameter and returns itself for method-chaining and easier to use request API.
      Parameters:
      newMasterID - Parameter to modify
      Returns:
      Itself

    • withUpdateFreqHz

      public StrictFollower withUpdateFreqHz​(double newUpdateFreqHz)
      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:
      newUpdateFreqHz - Parameter to modify
      Returns:
      Itself

    • forceApplyConfigs

      public void forceApplyConfigs()
      Forces configs to be applied the next time this is used in a setControl.

      This is not necessary in the majority of cases, because Phoenix will make sure configs are properly set when they are not already set
