Detailed Description

provides an abstract base class for acoustic modem drivers. This is subclassed by the various drivers for different manufacturers' modems.

See also
acomms_driver_base.proto and acomms_modem_message.proto for definition of Google Protocol Buffers messages (namespace goby::acomms::protobuf).
Examples:
acomms/modemdriver/driver_simple/driver_simple.cpp.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::do_work ( )
pure virtual

Allows the modem driver to do its work.

Should be called regularly to perform the work of the driver as the driver does not run in its own thread. This allows us to guarantee that no signals are called except inside this method. Does not block.

Implemented in goby::acomms::MMDriver, goby::acomms::IridiumShoreDriver, goby::moos::BluefinCommsDriver, goby::acomms::IridiumDriver, goby::moos::UFldDriver, goby::acomms::BenthosATM900Driver, goby::acomms::ABCDriver, goby::acomms::UDPDriver, and goby::pb::PBDriver.

Examples:
acomms/modemdriver/driver_simple/driver_simple.cpp.
virtual void goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::handle_initiate_transmission ( const protobuf::ModemTransmission m)
pure virtual

Virtual initiate_transmission method. Typically connected to MACManager::signal_initiate_transmission() using bind().

Parameters
mModemTransmission (defined in acomms_modem_message.proto) containing the details of the transmission to be started. This may contain data frames. If not, data will be requested when the driver calls the data request signal (ModemDriverBase::signal_data_request)

Implemented in goby::acomms::MMDriver, goby::acomms::IridiumShoreDriver, goby::acomms::IridiumDriver, goby::moos::BluefinCommsDriver, goby::moos::UFldDriver, goby::acomms::BenthosATM900Driver, goby::acomms::ABCDriver, goby::acomms::UDPDriver, and goby::pb::PBDriver.

Examples:
acomms/modemdriver/driver_simple/driver_simple.cpp.
bool goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::modem_read ( std::string *  in)
protected

read a line from the serial port, including end-of-line character(s)

Parameters
inpointer to string to store line
Returns
true if a line was available, false if no line available

Definition at line 57 of file driver_base.cpp.

void goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::modem_start ( const protobuf::DriverConfig cfg)
protected

start the physical connection to the modem (serial port, TCP, etc.). must be called before ModemDriverBase::modem_read() or ModemDriverBase::modem_write()

Parameters
cfgConfiguration including the parameters for the physical connection. (protobuf::DriverConfig is defined in acomms_driver_base.proto).
Exceptions
ModemDriverExceptionProblem opening the physical connection.

Definition at line 68 of file driver_base.cpp.

void goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::modem_write ( const std::string &  out)
protected

write a line to the serial port.

Parameters
outreference to string to write. Must already include any end-of-line character(s).

Definition at line 48 of file driver_base.cpp.

virtual void goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::startup ( const protobuf::DriverConfig cfg)
pure virtual

Starts the modem driver. Must be called before poll().

Parameters
cfgStartup configuration for the driver and modem. DriverConfig is defined in acomms_driver_base.proto. Derived classes can define extensions (see http://code.google.com/apis/protocolbuffers/docs/proto.html#extensions) to DriverConfig to handle modem specific configuration.

Implemented in goby::acomms::MMDriver, goby::moos::BluefinCommsDriver, goby::moos::UFldDriver, goby::acomms::IridiumShoreDriver, goby::acomms::BenthosATM900Driver, goby::acomms::IridiumDriver, goby::acomms::ABCDriver, goby::acomms::UDPDriver, and goby::pb::PBDriver.

Examples:
acomms/modemdriver/driver_simple/driver_simple.cpp.

Member Data Documentation

boost::signals2::signal<void(protobuf::ModemTransmission* msg)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_data_request

Called when the modem or modem driver needs data to send. The returned data should be stored in ModemTransmission::frame.

You should connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to handle data requests. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemTransmission is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.

Definition at line 96 of file driver_base.h.

boost::signals2::signal<void(protobuf::ModemTransmission* msg_request)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_modify_transmission

Called before the modem driver begins processing a transmission. This allows a third party to modify the parameters of the transmission (such as destination or rate) on the fly.

You may connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to handle data requests. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemTransmission is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.

Definition at line 102 of file driver_base.h.

boost::signals2::signal<void(const protobuf::ModemRaw& msg)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_raw_incoming

Called after any message is received from the modem by the driver. Used by the MACManager for auto-discovery of vehicles. Also useful for higher level analysis and debugging of the transactions between the driver and the modem.

If desired, you should connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to listen on incoming transactions. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemRaw is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.

Definition at line 107 of file driver_base.h.

boost::signals2::signal<void(const protobuf::ModemRaw& msg)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_raw_outgoing

Called after any message is sent from the driver to the modem. Useful for higher level analysis and debugging of the transactions between the driver and the modem.

If desired, you should connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to listen on outgoing transactions. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemRaw is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.

Definition at line 112 of file driver_base.h.

boost::signals2::signal<void(const protobuf::ModemTransmission& message)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_receive

Called when a binary data transmission is received from the modem.

You should connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to receive incoming messages. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemDataTransmission is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.

Examples:
acomms/chat/chat.cpp, and acomms/modemdriver/driver_simple/driver_simple.cpp.

Definition at line 85 of file driver_base.h.

boost::signals2::signal<void(const protobuf::ModemTransmission& message)> goby::acomms::ModemDriverBase::signal_transmit_result

Called when a transmission is completed.

You should connect one or more slots (a function or member function) to this signal to receive incoming messages. Use the goby::acomms::connect family of functions to do this. This signal will only be called during a call to poll. ModemDataTransmission is defined in acomms_modem_message.proto.
