Detailed Description

HALInterface is responsible for reading and writing values into the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) of the robot.

Remarks: Values from the HAL are read by NAOqi, so changing these values allows you to simulate stimuli from the environment to NAOqi.; This lib uses NAOqi logging system (qi::log). The log system needs to be initialized in the main of your application, see libqi documentation. NAOqi launches this logging system, so you will see log messages if you launch a NAOqi while using this lib.

sends values (see remarks) to the given inertialSensor.

Remarks: The values that you have to provide to this method are in the following order: orientation around x-axis and y-axis (in radians), accelerations along x-axis x, y-axis and z-axis (in meter per second squared), and rotational speed around x-axis and y-axis (in radian per second). For more details about the position and orientation of the axis, see the sensors Section of the Hardware documentation.

bool Sim::HALInterface::sendSonarSensorValue	(	const SonarSensor *	sonarSensor,
		float	value
	)

sends value in meters to the given sonarSensor (see remarks).

Remarks: if you use this method on a SonarSensor value that has a buffer size of 1, the space left in the array will be filled with 0s.

		const std::vector< float > &	values
	)

sends values in meters to the given sonarSensor (see remarks).

Remarks: 10 values can be associated to a SonarSensor if it has a buffer size of 10 floats. These are the echoes received by the sonar, from the pulse signal sent by the emitter, which consists in a cone of nearly 80°. Currently only the first echo is taken into account by NAOqi, so you can fill in only the first value. You should not use this method on a sonar that has a buffer size of 1 float, but if you do, only the first value will be taken into account. In 1.12, concerning NAO the emitting sonars (1 and 3) were detected as sensors in the model, this is not the case anymore, they are not taken into account.
