DigitalSensor()

RoboidControl.DigitalSensor.DigitalSensor

(

Thing

Member Function Documentation

GenerateBinary()

override byte[] RoboidControl.DigitalSensor.GenerateBinary ( )

virtual

Function used to generate binary data for this digital sensor.

Returns

A byte array with the binary data

<remark>The byte array will be empty when the digital status has not changed</remark>

Reimplemented from RoboidControl.Thing.

ProcessBinary()

override void RoboidControl.DigitalSensor.ProcessBinary ( byte[]  bytes )

virtual

Function used to process binary data received for this digital sensor.

Parameters

bytes

The binary data to process

Reimplemented from RoboidControl.Thing.

CreateRoot()

static void RoboidControl.Thing.CreateRoot ( Participant  owner )

staticinherited

Create a root Thing for a participant.

Parameters

owner

The participant who will own this root thing

CreateComponent()

virtual void RoboidControl.Thing.CreateComponent ( )

virtualinherited

Function which can be used to create components in external engines.

Currently this is used to create GameObjects in Unity

Reimplemented in RoboidControl.DistanceSensor, and RoboidControl.TouchSensor.

AddChild()

void RoboidControl.Thing.AddChild ( Thing  child )

inherited

Add a child Thing to this Thing.

Parameters

child

The Thing which should become a child

Remarks

When the Thing is already a child, it will not be added again

RemoveChild()

bool RoboidControl.Thing.RemoveChild ( Thing  child )

inherited

Remove the given thing as a child of this thing.

Parameters

child

The child to remove

Returns

True when the child was present or false when it was not found

Update()

virtual void RoboidControl.Thing.Update ( bool  recurse = false )

virtualinherited

Update de state of the thing.

Parameters

recurse

When true, this will Update the descendants recursively

Reimplemented in RoboidControl.ControlledMotor, RoboidControl.EncoderMotor, and RoboidControl.DifferentialDrive.

GetTimeMs()

static ulong RoboidControl.Thing.GetTimeMs ( )

staticinherited

Get the current time in milliseconds.

Returns

The current time in milliseconds

Member Data Documentation

type

byte RoboidControl.Thing.type = Type.Undetermined

inherited

The type of this thing.

This can be either a Thing.Type or a byte value for custom types.

Property Documentation

modelUrl

string RoboidControl.Thing.modelUrl

getsetinherited

An URL pointing to the location where a model of the thing can be found.

Although the roboid implementation is not dependent on the model, the only official supported model formats are .png (sprite), .gltf and .glb
