It uses a heating resistor controlled by a pwm.
By changing the duty cycle of the pwm, we can control the temperature.
A simple PI algorithm is used in order to get to the correct temperature
fast enough and without too much overshoot
It is implemented as a member of the Util class in order not to make to much
modification to the current codebase
Instead of just doing a static cast to the desired class, use a method
named "from". Pros:
- When we have data shared on the parent class, the code is cleaner in
child class when it needs to access this data. Almost all the data
we use in AP_HAL benefits from this
- There's a minimal type checking because now we are using a method
that can only receive the type of the parent class
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
ToneAlarm is now declared as a separate class instance of which is added as a private member of LinuxUtil
Some minor fixes in this patch include changing return type of tonealarm_init() to bool and use dprintf
