Module playerc_proxy_simulation

write playerc_proxy_simulation description

Member PlayerCc::ClientProxy::GetDriverName () const

GetDriverName isn't guarded by locks yet

Member SegwayRMP400::ProcessData ()

Add smarter approach to combine the data from both RMPs. For now, just average.

Member SegwayRMP::Main ()

We are getting intermittent timeouts. Does not break functionality, but should be checked.

Member SegwayRMP::ProcessMessage (QueuePointer &resp_queue, player_msghdr *hdr, void *data)

Handle config requests

Member SphereDriver::SphereDriver (ConfigFile *cf, int section)

is there a replacement clear command?
