Detailed Description

Interface for the Pololu Maestro pan-tilt unit using two servo motors.

See https://www.pololu.com/category/102/maestro-usb-servo-controllers for more details.

This class handle the vpPololu class in a higher level and allows to control the pan-tilt unit using position or velocity commands.

The corresponding Denavit-Hartenberg representations of the PTU is the following:

Joint $a_i$ $d_i$ $\alpha_i$ $\theta_i$
1 0 0 $ \pi/2$ $q_1$
2 0 0 $-\pi/2$ $q_2 - \pi/2$

v[5] = vpMath::rad(20); // wz
// Set the maximal allowed velocities
vpColVector v_max(6);

Exceptions
vpRobotException::wrongStateError: If a the robot is not configured to handle a velocity. The robot can handle a velocity only if the velocity control mode is set. For that, call setRobotState( vpRobot::STATE_VELOCITY_CONTROL) before setVelocity().
