Detailed Description

Command objects have various fields that can be set; when sent to the module, these fields control internal properties and setpoints.

This object has a hierarchical structure – there are some direct general-purpose fields at the top level, and many more specific fields contained in different nested subobjects.

The subobjects contain references to the parent command object, and so should not be used after the parent object has been destroyed.

The fields in the command object are typed; generally, these are optional-style read/write fields (i.e., have the concept of get/set/has/clear), although the return types and exact interface vary slightly between fields. Where appropriate, the explicit bool operator has been overridden so that you can shortcut if(field.has()) by calling if(field).

Although this header file can be used to look at the hierarchy of the messages, in general the online documentation at apidocs.hebi.us presents this information. in a more readable form.

Member Typedef Documentation

◆ CommandGains

using hebi::Command::CommandGains = Gains<HebiCommandRef, FloatField, BoolField, HebiCommandFloatField, HebiCommandBoolField>
protected

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ ControlStrategy

Enumerator
Off 

The motor is not given power (equivalent to a 0 PWM value)

DirectPWM 

A direct PWM value (-1 to 1) can be sent to the motor (subject to onboard safety limiting).

Strategy2 

A combination of the position, velocity, and effort loops with P and V feeding to T; documented on docs.hebi.us under "Control Modes"

Strategy3 

A combination of the position, velocity, and effort loops with P, V, and T feeding to PWM; documented on docs.hebi.us under "Control Modes"

Strategy4 

A combination of the position, velocity, and effort loops with P feeding to T and V feeding to PWM; documented on docs.hebi.us under "Control Modes"

◆ MstopStrategy

Enumerator
Disabled 

Triggering the M-Stop has no effect.

MotorOff 

Triggering the M-Stop results in the control strategy being set to 'off'. Remains 'off' until changed by user.

HoldPosition 

Triggering the M-Stop results in the motor holding the motor position. Operations resume to normal once trigger is released.

◆ PositionLimitStrategy

Enumerator
HoldPosition 

Exceeding the position limit results in the actuator holding the position. Needs to be manually set to 'disabled' to recover.

DampedSpring 

Exceeding the position limit results in a virtual spring that pushes the actuator back to within the limits.

MotorOff 

Exceeding the position limit results in the control strategy being set to 'off'. Remains 'off' until changed by user.

Disabled 

Exceeding the position limit has no effect.
