Detailed Description

A class for interfacing to an SCIP2.0-compliant Hokuyo laser device.

Almost all methods of this class may throw an exception of type hokuyo::Exception in the event of an error when communicating with the device. This primarily include read/write problems (hokuyo::Exception), communication time-outs (hokuyo:TimeoutException), and corrupted data (hokuyo::CorruptedDataException). However, many methods which wrap commands that are sent to the hokuyo will return a hokuyo-supplied status code as well. These are not "exceptional," in that the device is operating correctly from a communication standpoint, although the return code may still indicate that the device has undergone some sort of failure. In these cases, return codes of 0 are normal operation. For more information on the possible device error codes, consult the hokuyo manual.

Member Function Documentation

long long hokuyo::Laser::calcLatency ( bool  intensity,
double  min_ang,
double  max_ang,
int  clustering = 0,
int  skip = 0,
int  num = 0,
int  timeout = -1 
)

Compute latency between actual hokuyo readings and system time.

This function will estimate the latency between when the data is actually acquired by the hokuyo and a read call returns from the hokuyo with the data. This latency is stored in an offset variable and applied to the measurement of system time which occurs immediately after a read. This means that the system_time_stamp variable on LaserScan struct is corrected and accurately reflects the exact time of the hokuyo data in computer system time. This function takes the same arguments as a call to request scans, since this latency may be parameter dependent. NOTE: This method will take approximately 10 seconds to return.

Parameters:
intensityWhether or not intensity data should be provided
min_angMinimal angle of the scan (radians)
max_angMaximum angle of the scan (radians)
clusteringNumber of adjascent ranges to be clustered into a single measurement
skipNumber of scans to skip between returning measurements
numNumber of times to repeat the measurement 0 for auto.
timeoutTimeout in milliseconds.
Returns:
Median latency in nanoseconds
