Add cliff sensor support

Open jacobperron opened this issue 8 years ago • 5 comments

At the very least the driver can publish a Boolean message signalling whether or not a cliff is detected.
Alternatively, can also publish a custom message similar to the Bumper message, that contains the raw signal strengths as well as the Boolean cliff signals for all four sensors.

Yep definitely. I added Cliff custom messages while working with the driver. Just let me know if you are open to contributions

@betaupsx86 Is there any update on the cliff custom message? I am trying to use the sensor for an experimental docking mechanism. Any help will be much appreciated!

Hi @jacobperron, I just finished this feature and tested it on my create2. I can confirm it works and can open a pr to contribute it!

@girvenavery2022 There is already a PR adding this feature (#93). Sorry, I've just been slow at getting around to testing it.
