Summary
As an RRC user
, I want be able to send an instruction even before the robot has connected, and have the code wait until robot connection to execute it
so that I can simplify the client code
.
Details
Will this change the current API? How?
One option would be to have a method abb.wait_for_robot()
so that client code could be:
ros = RosClient()
ros.run()
abb = AbbClient(ros,'/')
abb.wait_for_robot()
current_pose = abb.send_and_wait(GetFrame())
Additionally, wait_for_robot
could take a timeout parameter, but not raise exceptions if it's expired, just like the wait
methods of threading.Event
, eg:
ros = RosClient()
ros.run()
abb = AbbClient(ros,'/')
while True:
if not abb.wait_for_robot(timeout=10):
print('Robot not connected, will retry...')
continue
current_pose = abb.send_and_wait(GetFrame())
