Replace simulated actuator in ts_rotator with a tracking actuator

    XMLWordPrintable

    Details

      Description

      ts_rotator's mock controller uses a point to point actuator to model the rotator. That is not a very good fit (though tolerable given the frequency of tracking updates).

      ts_simactuators includes TrackingActuator which is a much better model. Switch to that.

            In addition to switching to a tracking actuator, I also made the following changes:

            • Improved the tracking tests (first git commit).
            • Only start the tracking timeout timer in the mock controller after the first position, velocity, time track command is received. Formerly the timer started when entering tracking mode, which seems unnecessary. (I don't know what the real low level controller does.)

            TrackingActuator is used to have a better simulation. Great job done!
