SimDeviceSim

class wpilib.simulation.SimDeviceSim(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: pybind11_builtins.pybind11_object

Interact with a generic simulated device

Any devices that support simulation but don’t have a dedicated sim object associated with it can be interacted with via this object. You just need to know the name of the associated object.

Here are two ways to find the names of available devices:

  • The static function enumerateDevices() can give you a list of all available devices – note that the device must be created first before this will return any results!

  • When running the WPILib simulation GUI, the names of the ‘Other Devices’ panel are names of devices that you can interact with via this class.

Once you’ve created a simulated device, you can use the enumerateValues() method to determine what values you can interact with.

Note

WPILib has simulation support for all of its devices. Some vendors may only have limited support for simulation – read the vendor’s documentation or contact them for more information.

  1. __init__(self: wpilib.simulation._simulation.SimDeviceSim, name: str) -> None

Constructs a SimDeviceSim.

Parameters

name – name of the SimDevice

  1. __init__(self: wpilib.simulation._simulation.SimDeviceSim, name: str, index: int) -> None

Constructs a SimDeviceSim.

Parameters

  • name – name of the SimDevice

  • index – device index number to append to name

  1. __init__(self: wpilib.simulation._simulation.SimDeviceSim, name: str, index: int, channel: int) -> None

Constructs a SimDeviceSim.

Parameters

  • name – name of the SimDevice

  • index – device index number to append to name

static enumerateDevices(prefix: str = '') → List[str]

Returns a list of available device names

enumerateValues() → List[Tuple[str, bool]]

Returns a list of (name, readonly) tuples of available values for this device

getBoolean(name: str) → hal._wpiHal.SimBoolean

Retrieves an object that allows you to interact with simulated values represented as a boolean.

getDouble(name: str) → hal._wpiHal.SimDouble

Retrieves an object that allows you to interact with simulated values represented as a double.

getEnum(name: str) → hal._wpiHal.SimEnum

Get the property object with the given name.

Parameters

name – the property name

Returns

the property object

static getEnumOptions(val: hal._wpiHal.SimEnum) → List[str]

Get all options for the given enum.

Parameters

val – the enum

Returns

names of the different values for that enum

getInt(name: str) → hal._wpiHal.SimInt

Get the property object with the given name.

Parameters

name – the property name

Returns

the property object

Get the property object with the given name.

Parameters

name – the property name

Returns

the property object

getValue(name: str) → hal._wpiHal.SimValue

Provides a readonly mechanism to retrieve all types of device values

static resetData() → None

Reset all SimDevice data.
