jarol
Interface SensorInterface

public interface SensorInterface

The SensorInterface should be implemented by any class whose instances should be a sensor interface.

NOTE: The internal Jarol components are called interfaces, e.g., sensor interface, whereas the outside components are called units, e.g., navigation unit.

Method Summary

void	awaitExternalSensor() Waits for input from the sensor unit.
void	forwardToJarolCore(MessageInterface[] sensorData) Forwards the sensor data to the Jarol Core.
MessageInterface[]	readSensorData() Reads the sensor data.
void	signalJarolCore() Signals the Jarol Core to continue.

Method Detail

awaitExternalSensor

void awaitExternalSensor()

Waits for input from the sensor unit. In an event-triggered architecture this would be an event, whereas in a time-triggered architecture this would contain a timer/wait call.

readSensorData

MessageInterface[] readSensorData()

Reads the sensor data.

Returns:

sensordata from the sensor

forwardToJarolCore

void forwardToJarolCore(MessageInterface[] sensorData)

Forwards the sensor data to the Jarol Core.

signalJarolCore

void signalJarolCore()

Signals the Jarol Core to continue.
