About Footbot Distance Scanner

[Ryan]

Hey, I have added the requirement configure as the 'argos3 -q distance_scanner' in the XML. And I tried to use this sensor. But it could not work. Meanwhile, I counld not see the rays of the distance_scanner sensor.

In the .argos file:
<footbot_distance_scanner implementation="rot_z_only" show_rays="true"/>

In the .h file:
#include <argos3/plugins/robots/foot-bot/control_interface/ci_footbot_distance_scanner_sensor.h>
and
CCI_RangeAndBearingSensor* m_pcRABS;
in private member

In the .c file:
m_pcDSS = GetSensor <CCI_FootBotDistanceScannerSensor >("footbot_distance_scanner");

when I tried to get the data from this sensor
const CCI_FootBotDistanceScannerSensor::TReadingsMap& tDisranceReads = m_pcDSS->GetReadingsMap();
CVector2 cAccumulator;
std::cout << "size:" << tDisranceReads.size() << "\n";

I print this value on the screen but find the value of it always is 0.

I really hope there will be a example about this sensor for us.

You need to also include the distance scanner actuator and use it to enable the sensor.

Thanks!
Maybe somebody don't know how to read the data from this sensor. So I put a example as follow:

Code: Select all

void CFootBotPhysarum::Get_Distance_Scanner() { // const CCI_FootBotDistanceScannerSensor::TReadingsMap& tReads = m_ds->GetShortReadingsMap(); /* Get readings from distance scanner sensor */ const CCI_FootBotDistanceScannerSensor::TReadingsMap& tDisranceReads = m_pcDSS->GetReadingsMap(); CVector2 cAccumulator; std::cout << "size:" << tDisranceReads.size() << "\n"; for(CCI_FootBotDistanceScannerSensor::TReadingsMap::const_iterator it = tDisranceReads.begin(); it != tDisranceReads.end(); ++it) { // printf("%f\t%f\t\n",it->second, it->first.GetValue()); // const_iterator std::cout << "distance : " << it->second << "angle" << it->first.GetValue() << "\n"; std::cout << "distance : " << "\n"; cAccumulator += CVector2(it->second, it->first); } }
