Introduces:
- config::Unit: base class for physical quantities
- motion::AxisUnit: type-checked steps type
"config/unit.h" defines basic physical quantities, which are not
normally used elsewhere besides config.h.
"modules/axisunit.h" extends the modules::motion namespace with
Axis-aware units, with one type per axis per unit.
P_pos_t defines step positions for the pulley, I_pos_t for the idler,
etc. These are defined through the literar operators which are
similarly named and automatically convert a physical quantity to an
AxisUnit at compile time:
P_pos_t pulley_pos = 10.0_P_mm;
Besides type-checking, AxisUnit are otherwise identical to raw step
counts and are intended to be used along with the updated Motion API.
PlanMove/PlanMoveTo has been extended to support moves using these units
or physical quantities. Again, conversion is performed at compile time.
This matches PulseGen::Position() and avoids confusion around the term
"current": Position() returns the head position in the queue, not the
"live" axis position.
We have PulseGen::CurPosition() now for this purpose, although we don't
expose it to Motion yet.
CurPosition() returns the live axis position, which in this
implementation is inherently expensive to compute.
This shouldn't be required for the MMU, but it /will/ come in handy to
check for the axis position/s in Motion tests.
Motion::Full() (without a specific axis) is counter-productive.
When planning new moves the axis needs to be known beforehand, so it
might be as well be given to Full() to check the proper queue.
Implement Motion::SetEnabled (for symmetry with TMC2130::SetEnabled).
Rename DisableAxis to Disable and use the new SetEnabled. This makes the
member names more consistent.
We might want to schedule new moves while a single motor is moving.
Allow to do that by introducing per-axis query functions.
The main QueueEmpty() and Full() still function as before:
- Call QueueEmpty() to wait for all moves to finish.
- Use !Full() to know that a Plan() move will never be discarded.
Since scheduling a move on a block which is being executed will jolt the
motors, be extra-safe and perform an extra lower-level check before
committing even if the caller is responsible.
Return the status, which can be useful to build a simple busy loop.
- Remove the combined PlanMove(a,b,c,rate) call. If we allow the units
of the various motors to be changed at compile time, the unit of
rate can vary between axes.
- Build PlanMove on top of the absolute PlanMoveTo.
- Add required stubs for TMC2130.
- Allow each axis mode to be set independently, since we have this
feature for free anyway.
- Rework internals to use PulseGen data types and structs.
