Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MCGlobalController() [1/2]

mc_control::MCGlobalController::MCGlobalController	(	const std::string &	conf = "",
		std::shared_ptr< mc_rbdyn::RobotModule >	rm = nullptr
	)

Create the global controller.

The global controller is in charge of handling incoming data (sensors, encoders...), passing it to the Controller instance and finally hand out the result to the simulation/robot.

An additional configuration file can be passed at construction but multiple configuration files are read by default:

• a global configuration file read from INSTALL_PREFIX/etc/mc_rtc.conf
• a global configuration file read from $HOME/.config/mc_rtc/mc_rtc.conf

The configuration provided overrides settings in the local configuration which overrides settings in the global configuration

Global settings include the controller timestep, the main robot, publication and logging options.

For each controller a specific setting file will be loaded from:

• $CONTROLLER_INSTALL_PREFIX/etc/$CONTROLLER_NAME.conf
• $HOME/.config/mc_rtc/controllers/$CONTROLLER_NAME.conf

Global settings found in controller-specific configuration files will be discarded.

Note

On Windows, user configuration files are retrieved from $APPDATA/mc_rtc

Parameters

conf	Additional configuration to load

MCGlobalController() [2/2]

mc_control::MCGlobalController::MCGlobalController

(

const GlobalConfiguration &

conf

)

Create the global controller with an existing GlobalConfiguration instance.

~MCGlobalController()

add_controller_module_paths()

void mc_control::MCGlobalController::add_controller_module_paths

(

const std::vector< std::string > &

paths

)

Add the given directories to the controller search path.

Calling this function with the same arguments multiple times effectively refresh the loaded controller list

e.g. the following code will rescan all directories

add_controller_module_paths(configuration().controller_module_paths));

AddController() [1/2]

bool mc_control::MCGlobalController::AddController

(

const std::string &

name

)

Add a controller to the enabled list.

This call enables a controller that was not enabled but loaded. If the provided name does not exist then it does nothing and returns false. Otherwise, the controller is created, added to the enabled map and the function returns true.

Parameters

name	Name of the controller to add

AddController() [2/2]

bool mc_control::MCGlobalController::AddController	(	const std::string &	name,

This call adds a controller that was created through another mean than MCGlobalController internal mechanism.

The function returns false and does nothing if name is already among the enabled controllers or if controller is a null pointer.

Parameters

name	Name of the controller to add
controller	Controller to add
