Clock

This sensor returns the current time, measured by the robot (in ms).

Configuration parameters for clock

No configurable parameter.

Data fields

This sensor exports these datafields at each simulation step:

  • timestamp (float, initial value: 0.0)

    number of milliseconds in simulated time

Interface support:

Services for Clock

  • get_configurations() (blocking)

    Returns the configurations of a component (parsed from the properties).

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s configurations

  • get_local_data() (blocking)

    Returns the current data stored in the sensor.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current sensor’s data

  • get_properties() (blocking)

    Returns the properties of a component.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s properties

Examples

The following examples show how to use this component in a Builder script:

from morse.builder import *

robot = ATRV()

# creates a new instance of the sensor
clock = Clock()

# place your component at the correct location
clock.translate(<x>, <y>, <z>)
clock.rotate(<rx>, <ry>, <rz>)

robot.append(clock)

# define one or several communication interface, like 'socket'
clock.add_interface(<interface>)

env = Environment('empty')
