Detailed Description

This class can be used to create log files for the laser mapper.

This class has a pointer to a robot and a laser... every time the robot has EITHER moved the distDiff, or turned the degDiff, it will take the current readings from the laser and log them into the log file given as the fileName to the constructor. Readings can also be taken by calling takeReading which explicitly tells the logger to take a reading.

The class can also add goals, see the constructor arg addGoals for information about that... you can also explicitly have it add a goal by calling addGoal.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ArSickLogger::ArSickLogger (  ArRobot *  robot, ArSick *  sick, double  distDiff, double  degDiff, const char *  fileName, bool  addGoals = false, ArJoyHandler *  joyHandler = NULL, const char *  baseDirectory = NULL )

Constructor. Make sure you have called ArSick::configure or ArSick::configureShort on your laser before you make this class Parameters: robot  The robot to attach to sick  the laser to log from distDiff  the distance traveled at which to take a new reading degDiff  the degrees turned at which to take a new reading fileName  the file name in which to put the log addGoals  whether to add goals automatically or... if true then the sick logger puts hooks into places it needs this to happen, into any keyhandler thats around (for a keypress of G), it pays attention to the flag bit of the robot, and it puts in a button press callback for the joyhandler passed in (if any) Definition at line 57 of file ArSickLogger.cpp. References ArKeyHandler::addKeyHandler(), ArRobot::addPacketHandler(), ArRobot::addUserTask(), ArRobot::attachKeyHandler(), ArRobot::comStr(), ArSick::getDegrees(), ArSick::getIncrement(), ArRobotParams::getLaserTh(), ArRobotParams::getLaserX(), ArRobotParams::getLaserY(), ArLog::log(), Aria::setKeyHandler(), and ArTime::setToNow().

Member Function Documentation

void ArSickLogger::addInfoToLog (  const char *  str,   ... )

Adds a string to the log file without a tag for where or when we are. The robot MUST be locked before you call this function, so that this function is not adding to a list as the robotTask is using it. This function takes the given tag and puts it into the log file by itself Definition at line 261 of file ArSickLogger.cpp. References addInfoToLogPlain().

void ArSickLogger::addInfoToLogPlain (  const char *  str  )

Same ass addToInfo, but does it without marking robot position. The robot MUST be locked before you call this function, so that this function is not adding to a list as the robotTask is using it. This function takes the given tag and puts it into the log file by itself Definition at line 249 of file ArSickLogger.cpp. Referenced by addInfoToLog().

void ArSickLogger::addTagToLog (  const char *  str,   ... )

Adds a string to the log file with a tag at the given moment. The robot MUST be locked before you call this function, so that this function is not adding to a list as the robotTask is using it. This function takes the given tag and puts it into the log file along with a tag as to where the robot was and when in the mapping it was Definition at line 230 of file ArSickLogger.cpp. References addTagToLogPlain().

void ArSickLogger::addTagToLogPlain (  const char *  str  )

Same ass addToLog, but no varargs, wrapper for java. The robot MUST be locked before you call this function, so that this function is not adding to a list as the robotTask is using it. This function takes the given tag and puts it into the log file along with a tag as to where the robot was and when in the mapping it was Definition at line 217 of file ArSickLogger.cpp. Referenced by addTagToLog().
