robotCore.PurePursuit Class Reference

The PurePursuit class provides path following using the Pure Pursuit algorithm described here: https://www.ri.cmu.edu/pub_files/pub3/coulter_r_craig_1992_1/coulter_r_craig_1992_1.pdf It takes as input paths generated by the Pathfinder class. There are a number of adjustable parameters that can be set when creating the paths that will control the behavior of the Pure Pursuit. See the Pathfinder class for details. More...

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

PurePursuit()

robotCore.PurePursuit.PurePursuit	(	Navigator	navigator,
		SetSpeed	setSpeed,
		int	rate
	)

Parameters

navigator	- Specifies the Navigator class to be use to obtain the robot's position.
setSpeed	- Specifies the callback function used to set the robot's speed. This function should accept the speed in feet/second.
rate	- Specifies the time between updates in milliseconds

Member Function Documentation

disableLogging()

void robotCore.PurePursuit.disableLogging

(

)

Disables logging of the robots motion.

enableLogging()

void robotCore.PurePursuit.enableLogging

(

String

logPath

)

Enables logging of the robots motion along the path to the robot's local file system.

Parameters

logPath

- Specifies the path directory into which the logs are stored

isFinished()

boolean robotCore.PurePursuit.isFinished

(

)

Returns

Returns true if the path is complete

loadPath()

void robotCore.PurePursuit.loadPath	(	Path	path,
		boolean	isReversed,
		boolean	isExtended
	)

Loads the current path

Parameters

path	- Specifies the path to follow.
isReversed	- If true, the robot backs along the path.
isExtended	- If true, the path is extended beyond the end, tangent to the ending angle, for the purpose of tracking (the robot will still stop when the original end is reached.)

startPath()

void robotCore.PurePursuit.startPath

(

)

Start following the currently loaded path. While the path is being followed, PurePursuit must have exclusive access to the drive motors.

stopFollow()

void robotCore.PurePursuit.stopFollow

(

)

Stop following the path.
