~Gamepad (  )

Destructor.

Member Function Documentation

bool check_event ( GamepadEvent const   id )

Check whether an event flag has been set and clear it.

Parameters:
id[in]The ID of the event to test
Returns:
true if the event occurred

Definition at line 141 of file Gamepad.cpp.

float get_angle (  )

Get angle of joystick movement.

Returns:
value in range 0.0 to 359.9. 0.0 corresponds to N, 180.0 to S. -1.0 is central

Definition at line 160 of file Gamepad.cpp.

Vector2D get_coord (  )

Gets raw cartesian co-ordinates of joystick.

Returns:
a struct with x,y members, each in the range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 276 of file Gamepad.cpp.

Direction get_direction (  )

Gets joystick direction.

Returns:
an enum: CENTRE, N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW,

Definition at line 166 of file Gamepad.cpp.

float get_mag (  )

Get magnitude of joystick movement.

Returns:
value in range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 153 of file Gamepad.cpp.

Vector2D get_mapped_coord (  )

Gets cartesian coordinates mapped to circular grid.

Returns:
a struct with x,y members, each in the range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 295 of file Gamepad.cpp.

Polar get_polar (  )

Gets polar coordinates of the joystick.

Returns:
a struct contains mag and angle

Definition at line 308 of file Gamepad.cpp.

std::bitset<N_EVENTS> get_raw_event_state (  ) const

Get the raw binary event state.

Returns:
The event state as a binary code

The check_event() function is likely to be more useful than this, for testing whether a given event has occurred. It can be useful for debugging via the terminal, however, for example: 

          std::cout << gamepad.get_raw_event_state() << std::endl;

Definition at line 159 of file Gamepad.h.

void init (  )

Initialise all peripherals and configure interrupts.

Definition at line 49 of file Gamepad.cpp.

void led ( int  n,
float  val 
) const

Set LED to duty-cycle.

Parameters:
lednumber (0 to 5)
valuein range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 93 of file Gamepad.cpp.

void leds ( float  val ) const

Set all LEDs to duty-cycle.

Parameters:
valuein range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 72 of file Gamepad.cpp.

void leds_off (  )

Turn all LEDs off.

Definition at line 62 of file Gamepad.cpp.

void leds_on (  )

Turn all LEDs on.

Definition at line 67 of file Gamepad.cpp.

float read_pot (  ) const

Read potentiometer.

Returns:
potentiometer value in range 0.0 to 1.0

Definition at line 129 of file Gamepad.cpp.

void tone ( float  frequency,
float  duration 
)

Play tone on piezo.

Parameters:
frequencyin Hz
durationof tone in seconds

Definition at line 134 of file Gamepad.cpp.
