Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ SensorInterface()

hardware_interface::SensorInterface::SensorInterface ( const SensorInterface other)
delete

SensorInterface 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_state_interfaces()

virtual std::vector<StateInterface> hardware_interface::SensorInterface::export_state_interfaces ( )
pure virtual

Exports all state interfaces for this hardware interface.

The state interfaces have to be created and transferred according to the hardware info passed in for the configuration.

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

Returns
vector of state interfaces

◆ get_name()

virtual std::string hardware_interface::SensorInterface::get_name ( ) const
inlinevirtual

Get name of the actuator hardware.

Returns
name.

◆ get_state()

const rclcpp_lifecycle::State& hardware_interface::SensorInterface::get_state ( ) const
inline

Get life-cycle state of the actuator hardware.

Returns
state.

◆ on_init()

virtual CallbackReturn hardware_interface::SensorInterface::on_init ( const HardwareInfo hardware_info)
inlinevirtual

Initialization of the hardware interface from data parsed from the robot's URDF.

Parameters
[in]hardware_infostructure with data from URDF.
Returns
CallbackReturn::SUCCESS if required data are provided and can be parsed.
CallbackReturn::ERROR if any error happens or data are missing.

◆ read()

virtual return_type hardware_interface::SensorInterface::read ( const rclcpp::Time &  time,
const rclcpp::Duration &  period 
)
pure virtual

Read the current state values from the actuator.

The data readings from the physical hardware has to be updated and reflected accordingly in the exported state interfaces. That is, the data pointed by the interfaces shall be updated.

Parameters
[in]timeThe time at the start of this control loop iteration
[in]periodThe measured time taken by the last control loop iteration
Returns
return_type::OK if the read was successful, return_type::ERROR otherwise.

◆ set_state()

void hardware_interface::SensorInterface::set_state ( const rclcpp_lifecycle::State &  new_state)
inline

Set life-cycle state of the actuator hardware.

Returns
state.
