Namespace : AL

#include <alproxies/alledsproxy.h>

Methods

void ALLedsProxy::createGroup(const std::string& groupName, const std::vector<std::string>& ledNames)

Makes a group name for ease of setting multiple LEDs.

Parameters:
  • groupName – The name of the group.
  • ledNames – A vector of the names of the LEDs in the group.

Python:

# Replace "127.0.0.1" with the IP of your robot
leds = ALProxy("ALLeds","127.0.0.1",9559)
# Create a new group
names = [
"Face/Led/Red/Left/0Deg/Actuator/Value",
"Face/Led/Red/Left/90Deg/Actuator/Value",
"Face/Led/Red/Left/180Deg/Actuator/Value",
"Face/Led/Red/Left/270Deg/Actuator/Value"]
leds.createGroup("MyGroup",names)
# Switch the new group on
leds.on("MyGroup")

C++:

boost::shared_ptr<ALLedsProxy> leds = boost::shared_ptr<ALLedsProxy>(new ALLedsProxy(getParentBroker()));
// Create a new group
std::vector<std::string> names;
names.push_back("Face/Led/Red/Left/0Deg/Actuator/Value");
names.push_back("Face/Led/Red/Left/90Deg/Actuator/Value");
names.push_back("Face/Led/Red/Left/180Deg/Actuator/Value");
names.push_back("Face/Led/Red/Left/270Deg/Actuator/Value");
leds.createGroup("MyGroup",names);
// Switch the new group on
leds.on("MyGroup");
void ALLedsProxy::earLedsSetAngle(const int& degrees, const float& duration, const bool& leaveOnAtEnd)

An animation to show a direction with the ears.

Parameters:
  • degrees – The angle you want to show in degrees (int). 0 is up, 90 is forwards, 180 is down and 270 is back.
  • duration – The duration in seconds of the animation.
  • leaveOnAtEnd – If true the last led is left on at the end of the animation.
void ALLedsProxy::fade(const std::string& name, const float& intensity, const float& duration)

Sets the intensity of a LED or Group of LEDs within a given time.

Parameters:
  • name – The name of the LED or Group.
  • intensity – The intensity of the LED or Group (a value between 0 and 1).
  • duration – The duration of the fade in seconds
