Move Galils Under SECI

Wiki > Galils Under SECI

The move is undertaken as a state machine, and as such the text below attempts to explain the behaviours. Double line breaks are used to help see the different sets of instructions more easily. Letters in double quotes are commands sent to the Galil. The condition is explained on the left of the --> and the state on the right-hand side. Items in code highlights in the "Condition for next state and Next State" column are code items that happen when those conditions are met. An external stop will interrupt the state machine and go to the Stop state.

State Name	Actions in State	Condition for next state and Next State
Init		First Call --> Idle New Setpoint --> Send Setup Stop triggered --> Stop Otherwise --> State passed from previous run
Idle		Send Setup
