[Java-player-developers] Javaclient 1.6.3.2 released

[Radu B. R. <ve...@in...>]

Decided to build Javaclient 1.6.3.2 today, in case some of you guys have CVS
issues. So, 1.6.3.2 is up at SF. Changes:

- We got a new subpackage called javaclient.extra, where I've included some
basic controllers (P, PI, PD, PID). Here's an example on how to use a simple
P controller (first put your robot at a 45 degree heading for instance):
...
        PController pid = new PController (3);
        pid.setGoal (90);
        while (true) {
            double now = pi.getYaw (); // PositionInterface
            if (now < 0)
                now += 360;
            try {
                Thread.sleep (100);
            } catch (Exception e) {}
            
            int command = (int)pid.getCommand (now);
            pi.setSpeed (0, command);
            System.out.println (now + " / " + command);
        }
...
- Changed some parameters for the BlobfinderInterface and PtzInterface
methods to accept int instead of short/byte;
- Added getFiducialCount() and getFiducials() in FiducialInterface (thanks
to R. Paul Wiegand);
- Fixed some GEOM_REQ bugs in Position*Interface;
- Added Push(), Pop(), Read(), Clear() and setCapacity() to MComInterface;
- Small bug (short -> int) modified in GripperInterface;
- Added documentation for extra/*Controller.java;
- Fixed a few bugs for SonarInterface and IRInterface. Added AUTOSERVO
support for PtzInterface (tested with CMUcam2).

More to come. Stay tuned.

Yours sincerely,
Radu Bogdan Rusu
