digital sensors - FTC Programming with ElectronVolts

EVLib has its own interface for Digital sensors. It extends InputExtractor of type Boolean, which means that every DigitalSensor has to have a getValue method that returns a Boolean.

public interface DigitalSensor extends InputExtractor<Boolean> {
}

You can create a DigitalSensor from a DigitalChannel or TouchSensor using the Sensors factory class:

DigitalInput digitalInput = hardwareMap.touchSensor.get("limitSwitch");
DigitalSensor limitSwitch = Sensors.digitalSensor(digitalInput);

//To combine on one line:
DigitalSensor button = Sensors.digitalSensor(hardwareMap, "button");

To get the value of a DigitalSensor, call the getValue() method which returns a Boolean.

teletry.addData("limit switch pressed?", limitSwitch.getValue());
