Member Function Documentation

SampleSensor()

virtual float SampleSensor ( )

protectedvirtual

Performs a sampling function to retrieve a new sensor output value.

Returns

0.0

This is a dummy implementation which always returns 0.0 because this component is an abstract sensor

Reimplemented in LightSensor, and TouchSensor.
