Detailed Description

The base abstract class for MarXbot motors.

This class simply has a couple of parameters that are common to all MarXbot motors (see below).

In addition to all parameters defined by the parent class (Motor), this class also defines the following parameters:

• marxbot: the name of the resource associated with the MarXbot robot to use (default is "robot")
• neuronsIterator: the name of the resource associated with the neural network iterator (default is "neuronsIterator")

The resources required by this Motor are:

• name defined by the marxbot parameter: the simulated physical MarXbot robot
• name defined by the neuronsIterator parameter: the object to iterate over neurons of the neural network

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MarXbotMotor	(	ConfigurationParameters &	params,
		QString	prefix
	)

Constructor.

This also reads configuration parameters. Moreover this adds the MarXbot and neuronsIterator resources to the list of resources used here

Parameters:

params	the ConfigurationParameters containing the parameters for the sensor
prefix	the path prefix to the paramters for this sensor

Definition at line 30 of file marxbotmotors.cpp.

void resourceChanged	(	QString	resourceName,
		ResourceChangeType	changeType
	)		[protected, virtual]

The function called when a resource used here is changed.

Parameters:

resourceName	the name of the resource that has changed.
chageType	the type of change the resource has gone through (whether it was created, modified or deleted)

Reimplemented from ConcurrentResourcesUser.

void save	(	ConfigurationParameters &	params,
		QString	prefix
	)		[virtual]

Saves the parameters of the sensor into the ConfigurationParameters object.

Parameters:

params	the ConfigurationParameters where save the parameters of the sensors
prefix	the path prefix for the parameters to save
