Detailed Description

Class to drive one servo in position control mode.

This class allows to drive one servo in position control mode.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HkxPosControl::HkxPosControl ( uint8_t  ID,
HkxCommunication herkXCom,
HkxPrint print 
)

Constructor.

The constructor of HkxPosControl.

Parameters
[in]ID: id of the servo to drive. The value shall be [0 ; 253].
[in]herkXCom: Communication with the servos.
[in]print: Communication to print messages.

Example:

HkxPrint print = HkxPrint(Serial, 9600);
HkxCommunication communication = HkxCommunication(HKX_115200, Serial1, print);
HkxPosControl servo = HkxPosControl(10, communication, print); // ID=10, print can be different to communication

Member Function Documentation

uint8_t HkxPosControl::clearStatus ( )

Clear the status.

Clear the status of the servo to leave the "error state" and stop the LED blink and torque deactivation (see p.33 of the user manual for more details about LED and torque policies).

Warning
If the problem still present (e.g. low input voltage), the servo will switch again to error just after clearing.
Returns
0 = OK
1 = Input not correct
2 = Servo not connected

Example:

...
HkxPosControl servo = HkxPosControl(10, communication, print);
HkxStatus currentStatus;
byte error = servo.getStatus(currentStatus, true);
if(error==0 && currentStatus.isError(HKX_STAT_ALL)){ // check if any error
servo.clearStatus();
}

         PWM- 
Parameters
[in]newDeadZone: The dead zone is the angle error before the servo applies a load compensation to maintain its position (see the above figure). Its value shall be set in 10^-1 degrees within the range [0 ; 82.8°].
[in]newSaturatorOffset: The saturator offset is the step PWM value of the saturator once dead zone the position goes out of the dead zone (see the above figure). Its value shall be set in PWM within the range [0 ; 254].
[in]newSaturatorSlope: The saturator slop is a gradient of the saturator, going from the saturator offset and increasing gradually the PWM with the error position to the goal (see the above figure). It provides a flexible and elastic response of the servo to external forces. Its value shall be set in 10^-2 PWM / degree within the range [0 ; 393 PWM/degree].
[in]newPWMOffset: The PWM offset allows compensating permanent load (e.g. gravity) by shifting the saturator by the same value (see the above figure). Its value shall be set in PWM within the range [-128 ; 127].
[in]newMinPWM: The min PWM is the minimum PWM that is applied by the servo (see the above figure). As specified in the user manual p.37, this may lead to unstable system. Use 0 as default value. The value shall be set in PWM within the range [0 ; 254].
[in]newMaxPWM: The max PWM is the maximum PWM that is applied by the servo (see the above figure). It could be used to limit the load of the servo, to avoid damages or injuries or instance. The value shall be set in PWM within the range [0 ; 1023].
Returns
0 = OK
1 = Input not correct
2 = Servo not connected

Example:

...
HkxPosControl servo = HkxPosControl(10, communication, print);
servo.setLoad(9, 0, 39300, 0, 0, 1023); // non-flexible control
servo.move(900, 2000, HKX_NO_VALUE, true); // move to 90° in 2 seconds and wait arrival
servo.setLoad(9, 0, 1000, 0, 0, 1023); // flexible control
servo.move(-900, 500, HKX_NO_VALUE, true); // move to -90° in 0.5 seconds and wait arrival

HkxMaybe< hkxLEDControl newLEDControl 
)

Set torque actuation and LED colour.

Parameters
[in]newTorqueControl: Torque control to apply. This parameter is optional, either set a hkxTorqueControl variable, the value (list below), or set HKX_NO_VALUE to ignore it.
  • HKX_TORQUE_FREE: no resistance to the movements (or let say mechanical resistance only)
  • HKX_TORQUE_BREAK: the motor resists but allows the movements
  • HKX_TORQUE_ON: the motor maintain its position (don't allow movements)
