Hardware error handling for Dynamixel Y series #85
Conversation
…namixel.hpp - Moved HardwareErrorStatusBitInfo and ErrorCodeInfo structures along with their corresponding tables and functions from dynamixel_hardware_interface.hpp to dynamixel.hpp for better organization. - Updated the Dynamixel class to utilize the new error handling structures and provide detailed error reporting for hardware status and error codes.

Summary of Changes
Hello @Woojin-Crive, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
This pull request significantly upgrades the error reporting capabilities for Dynamixel Y series motors within the dynamixel_hardware_interface. By introducing structured definitions for various hardware error statuses and error codes, and integrating a more sophisticated parsing mechanism into the communication initialization, the system can now provide precise diagnostic information. This enhancement aims to streamline troubleshooting and improve the overall robustness of the motor control system.
Highlights
- Enhanced Error Diagnostics: Implemented detailed hardware error handling for Dynamixel Y series motors, providing specific information on detected issues rather than generic error codes.
- Structured Error Definitions: Introduced new C++ structures and lookup tables (
HardwareErrorStatusBitInfo,ErrorCodeInfo) to define and describe various hardware error status bits and error codes, making error interpretation more precise. - Refactored Codebase: Centralized error definition structures and helper functions into
dynamixel.hppfor improved code organization and maintainability, moving them fromdynamixel_hardware_interface.hpp. - Improved Initialization Logic: Modified the
InitDxlCommfunction to intelligently check for and interpret both 'Hardware Error Status' bits and 'Error Code' values, logging detailed diagnostic messages when errors are detected.

Code Review
This pull request introduces enhanced hardware error handling for the Dynamixel Y series by reading and interpreting specific error registers on the device. The changes include refactoring error-related definitions into dynamixel.hpp for better code organization and updating InitDxlComm to provide detailed, human-readable error messages upon detecting a hardware fault. The implementation is solid, but I've identified a couple of areas for improvement regarding code clarity and performance in the error handling logic.
