Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ ActuatorInterface()

hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::ActuatorInterface ( const ActuatorInterface & other )

delete

ActuatorInterface copy constructor is actively deleted.

Hardware interfaces are having a unique ownership and thus can't be copied in order to avoid failed or simultaneous access to hardware.

Member Function Documentation

◆ export_command_interfaces()

virtual std::vector<CommandInterface> hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::export_command_interfaces ( )

inlinevirtual

Exports all command interfaces for this hardware interface.

Old way of exporting the CommandInterfaces. If a empty vector is returned then the on_export_command_interfaces() method is called. If a vector with CommandInterfaces is returned then the exporting of the CommandInterfaces is only done with this function and the ownership is transferred to the resource manager. The set_command(...), get_command(...), ..., can then not be used.

Note the ownership over the state interfaces is transferred to the caller.

Returns: vector of state interfaces

Reimplemented in ros2_control_demo_example_14::RRBotActuatorWithoutFeedback.

◆ export_state_interfaces()

virtual std::vector<StateInterface> hardware_interface::ActuatorInterface::export_state_interfaces ( )

inlinevirtual

If a vector with StateInterfaces is returned then the exporting of the StateInterfaces is only done with this function and the ownership is transferred to the resource manager. The set_command(...), get_command(...), ..., can then not be used.

Note the ownership over the state interfaces is transferred to the caller.

	)

inlinevirtual

Perform the mode-switching for the new command interface combination.

Note: This is part of the realtime update loop, and should be fast.; All starting and stopping interface keys are passed to all components, so the function should return return_type::OK by default when given interface keys not relevant for this component.
