How to Use the Slow Mode Manager#

Introduction#

The SlowModeManager is a utility designed to manage slow mode configurations for an FTC robot, enabling dynamic speed adjustments using gamepad inputs. This allows for more precise control, particularly during delicate maneuvers.

Note: The slow mode factor is a DIVISION factor, meaning a factor of 2.0 will halve the speed.

Creating a SlowModeManager#

There are multiple ways to initialize a SlowModeManager:

SlowModeManager slowModeManager = SlowModeManager(new SlowModeMulti(SlowMode.basic()));

Constructors#

  • SlowModeManager(SlowModeMulti slowModeMulti)

Core Methods#

  • double apply(double value) - Adjusts a given value based on the currently active slow mode.

  • DrivePowerCoefficients apply(DrivePowerCoefficients drivePowerCoefficients) - Modifies drive power coefficients.

  • void update(onFunc,offFunc) - Updates the active slow mode based on gamepad input. OnFunc being the function to call when the slow mode should be activated, and offFunc being the function to deactivate it.

  • void telemetry(Telemetry telemetry) - Displays the current slow mode in telemetry.

2. SlowModeMulti#

The SlowModeMulti class defines an individual slow mode configuration, specifying activation and deactivation buttons.

Creating a SlowModeMulti#

SlowModeMulti slowMode = new SlowModeMulti(SlowMode.basic());

The Constructors#

  • SlowModeMulti(SlowMode slowModeData)

Built-in Configurations#

  • static SlowModeMulti basic() - Returns a slow mode with a factor of 2.0.

3. SlowMode#

The SlowMode class defines a slow mode with a configurable factor.

Creating a SlowMode#

SlowMode slowMode = new SlowMode(2); // Reduces speed by half

Singular Constructor#

  • SlowMode(double slowModeFactor)

Predefined Modes#

  • static SlowMode basic() - A factor of 2.0.

  • static SlowMode one() - A factor of 1.0 (no change).

  • static SlowMode of(double slowModeFactor) - Creates a custom slow mode factor.

Usage Example#

This example demonstrates how to integrate SlowModeManager with a gamepad.

SlowMode slowMode = new SlowModeMulti(SlowMode.basic()));
SlowModeManager slowModeManager = new SlowModeManager(slowMode);

// Applying slow mode to a value
double modifiedSpeed = slowModeManager.apply(1.0);

With this setup, your FTC robot can dynamically adjust its movement speed based on gamepad input, providing better control during gameplay.
