Controller class

Uses the gamepad to control the rover.

Each gamepad can only control one subsystem at a time, so this class uses controls to keep track of what each button does in the current OperatingMode.

Once every gamepadDelay, the gamepadTimer will trigger, which _updates the gamepad and call RoverControls.parseInputs to see what actions can be done. Each command is then sent with MessagesModel.sendMessage, which will either send them over the network or via serial.

Constructors

Controller(int index, RoverControls controls)
Maps button presses on gamepad to controls.

Properties

controls ↔ RoverControls
Defines what the current controls are for the current mode.
getter/setter pair
gamepad → Gamepad
The gamepad to read from.
no setter
gamepadTimer ↔ Timer
Reads the gamepad and controls the rover when triggered.
latefinal
hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
hasListeners → bool
Whether any listeners are currently registered.
no setterinherited
index → int
The index of the gamepad to read from. Does not match Gamepad.controllerIndex.
final
isConnected → bool
Whether this controller is ready to use.
no setter
mode → OperatingMode
The current operating mode.
no setter
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.

Methods

addListener(VoidCallback listener) → void
Register a closure to be called when the object changes.
inherited
connect() → Future<void>
Connects the gamepad to the user's device.
dispose() → void
Discards any resources used by the object. After this is called, the object is not in a usable state and should be discarded (calls to addListener will throw after the object is disposed).
override
init() → Future<void>
Initializes any data needed by this model.
override
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
notifyListeners() → void
Call all the registered listeners.
inherited
otherControllerIs(OperatingMode mode) → bool
Returns Whether another controller is set to the given mode.
removeListener(VoidCallback listener) → void
Remove a previously registered closure from the list of closures that are notified when the object changes.
inherited
setMode(OperatingMode? mode) → void
Changes the current mode this gamepad is controlling, and chooses a new RoverControls.
setModeIndex(int index) → void
Same as setMode, but uses OperatingMode.index instead.
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
