-
Use the [New Model Wizzard] to create a new eTrice project and name it [PedLightsController].
-
Copy the package [org.eclipse.etrice.tutorials.PedLightGUI] to your [src] directory (see blinky tutorial).
-
In PedestrianLightWndNoTcp.jav uncomment line 15 (import), 36, 122 (usage) and 132-134 (registration). The error markers will disappear after the code is generated from the model.
-
Copy the model from /org.eclipse.etrice.tutorials/model/PedLightsController to your model file, or run the model directly in the tutorial directory.
-
Adapt the import statement to your path.
import room.basic.service.timing.* from "../../org.eclipse.etrice.modellib/models/TimingService.room"
-
Generate the code from the model.
-
Add the org.eclipse.etrice.modellib to the Java Class Path of your project.
-
All error markers should be disappeared and the model should be operable.
-
Arrange the Structure and the Statemachines to understand the model
The [GuiAdapter] represents the interface to the external code. It registers its [ControlPort] by the external code.
Visit the initial transition to understand the registration. The actor handles the incoming messages as usual and controls the traffic lights as known from blinky.
The [Controller] receives the [start] message and controls the timing of the lights. Note that the [start] message will be sent from the external code whenever the [REQUEST] button is pressed.
-
Visit the model and take a closer look to the following elements:
-
PedControlProtocol => notice that the start message is defined as usual
-
Initial transition of the [GuiAdapter] => see the registration
-
The [Controller] => notice that the [Controller] receives the external message (not the [GuiAdapter]). The [GuiAdapter] just provides its port and handles the incoming messages.
-
Visit the hand written code => see the import statement of the protocol class and the usage of the port.
-
Generate and test the model
-
Take a look at the generated MSC => notice that the start message will shown as if the [GuiAdapter] had sent it.
