This is an updated version of the RoombaComm API.
This release contains Javadoc documentation!
This release further expands on the two different levels of driving API: a lower-level one that is based on velocity, and a higher-level distance/angle one. I’m debating how to notate these differences. For instance:
roombacomm.setSpeed( 100 ); // set speed to 100 mm/sec
roombacomm.goForward( 150 ); // go forward 150 mm
roombacomm.spinRight( 45 ); // spin 45 degrees right
roombacomm.goBackward( 25 ); // go 20 mm backward
vs.
roombacomm.goForwardAt(100); // go forward at 100mm/sec
roombacomm.pause( 1500 ); // wait for 1.5 seconds, so it goes 150 mm
roombacomm.spinRightAt( 100 ); // spin right at 100mm/sec
float ptime = 45.0 * roombacomm.millimetersPerDegree / 100.0;
roombacomm.pause( ptime ); // wait until the Roomba has spun thru the angle
The wacky angle calculation above is the primary reason why I wanted a higher-level API. I want to do more Logo-like things.
