Detailed Description
Robot Hardware Interface and Resource Manager.
This class provides a standardized interface to a set of robot hardware interfaces to the controller manager. It performs resource conflict checking for a given set of controllers and maintains a map of hardware interfaces. It is meant to be used as a base class for abstracting custom robot hardware.
The hardware interface map (interfaces_) is a 1-to-1 map between the names of interface types derived from HardwareInterface and instances of those interface types.

Member Function Documentation
| virtual bool hardware_interface::RobotHW::checkForConflict | ( | const std::list< ControllerInfo > & | info | ) | const [inline, virtual] |
Check (in non-realtime) if the given set of controllers is allowed to run simultaneously.
This default implementation simply checks if any two controllers use the same resource.

| virtual void hardware_interface::RobotHW::doSwitch | ( | const std::list< ControllerInfo > & | , |
| const std::list< ControllerInfo > & | |||
| ) | [inline, virtual] |
Perform (in realtime) all necessary hardware interface switches in order to start and stop the given controllers. Start and stop list are disjoint. The feasability was checked in prepareSwitch() beforehand.

| virtual bool hardware_interface::RobotHW::prepareSwitch | ( | const std::list< ControllerInfo > & | start_list, |
| const std::list< ControllerInfo > & | stop_list | ||
| ) | [inline, virtual] |
Check (in non-realtime) if given controllers could be started and stopped from the current state of the RobotHW with regard to necessary hardware interface switches and prepare the switching. Start and stop list are disjoint. This handles the check and preparation, the actual switch is commited in doSwitch()
