SDP Hardware

Please note that the SDP hardware is not yet fully integrated with the DevBot hardware abstraction architecture. Where devices are not integrated with the hardware abstraction layer, they can be accessed via driver internal functions as described in Accessing a non-standard sensor.

Motors

The motors can be accessed using the standard motor interface i.e.

bot_servomotor_set_velocity(motor_device, velocity)

Rotation sensor

The rotation sensor can be accessed using an internal function of the sdp_aboard driver.

sdp_aboard_get_rotation(aboard_device, port_index)

Light sensor

The light sensor can be accessed using an internal function of the sdp_light driver.

sdp_light_get_value(light_device)

Sensor interface boards

The aboard and pboard sensor ports can be accessed using internal functions of their respective drivers.

sdp_pboard_get_sensor(aboard, port_index)

sdp_aboard_get_sensor(aboard, port_index)

Sample configuration file

For reference, here is a standard configuration file

[aboard]
Driver=sdp_aboard

[pboard]
Driver=sdp_pboard

[motor1]
Driver=sdp_motors
Index=1

[motor2]
Driver=sdp_motors
Index=3

[motor3]
Driver=sdp_motors
Index=5

[motor4]
Driver=sdp_motors
Index=7

[light]
Driver=sdp_light
