Package ckbot :: Module dynamixel :: Class DynamixelMemMap

Class DynamixelMemMap


DESCRIPTION:
  Abstract superclass of all DynamixelMemMap classes. Provides
  shared functionality, while the concrete subclasses provide the
  actual memory map details.

  NOTE: this is intentionally an "old style class", to ensure that tab completion
    does not list a gazzilion irrelevant builtin methods.

RESPONSIBILITIES: 
  -- Provide human readable names for addresses in the dynamixel control table
OWNERSHIP:
  -- owned by the dynamixel module
THEORY: 
  -- create a dictionary _ADDR_DCR_ that holds the memory location, name, and type (B, >H)
     generate a set of properties with the commmand name and it equivalent location
