[Playerstage-developers] Bumper interface for Magellan Pro (rflex)

[Yannick Brosseau <yannick.brosseau@us...>]

Hi,

I've added the support for the bumper of the magellan pro in the 
attached patch. (The patch is against the server/drivers/mixed/rflex 
directory)

I've added a config parameter for the bumper:
rflex_bumper_style which must be set to "addr" of "bit".
The addr correspond to the b21r bumper acces style (each bumper has it 
own address), which is currently in the code.  The bit value correspond 
to the added code and match what the magellan pro does. (Each bit of the 
addr match a bumper.

This is the easiest solution that we found.

Our other solution was to add a config parameter for each bumper which 
would have mapped each bit to the right bumper (with an addr:bitmask 
pair (ie: 0x40:0x0F, 0x41:0x0F, 0x40:0x04)

Maybe the patch could use more error handling in the config parsing, if 
you feel too add it. (Currently, it set it to addr style when an unkown 
parameter is given)

hi Yannick,

Thanks for the patch.  I'll let Toby field it, since he's pretty much
in charge of the rflex drivers.
