Detailed Description

Class to create an updater thread for continuously updating tactile sensor data.

Uses boost::thread from the boost library (http://www.boost.org)!

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

cDSAUpdater::cDSAUpdater	(	cDSA *	_ts,
		int	_error_threshold = DEFAULT_ERROR_THRESHOLD
	)

CTOR: start an updater thread for the connected tactile sensor _ts

Make remote DSA send frames. Create a thread that updates _ts->frame continuously

Parameters

_ts

- ptr to already initialized cDSA tactile sensor object

_error_threshold

- the number of errors that causes a "reset" of the connection to the remote DSA: communication errors with the remote DSACON32m controllers are counted, every error increments the error level, every correct communication decrements the error level (down to 0) if the error level rises above ERROR_THRESHOLD then the connection is closed and the reopened. This is usefull to recover from emergency stop since the hands loose power temporarily in that case.

Member Function Documentation

void cDSAUpdater::interrupt ( )

inline

interrupt the updater thread

Definition at line 93 of file dsaboost.h.

void cDSAUpdater::Updater ( )

private

the actual run function of the updater thread

run function of updater thread

This function reads frames from the remote DSACON32m tactile sensor controllers continuously in an infinite loop.

Uses global variable g_ts as the tactile sensor object which must point to a valid and connected cDSA object on call.
