Gyroscope

This sensor emulates a Gyroscope, providing the yaw, pitch and roll angles of the sensor object with respect to the Blender world reference axes.

Angles are given in radians.

Configuration parameters for Gyroscope

No configurable parameter.

Data fields

This sensor exports these datafields at each simulation step:

  • timestamp (float, initial value: 0.0)
    number of seconds in simulated time
  • yaw (float, initial value: 0.0)
    rotation around the Z axis of the sensor, in radian
  • pitch (float, initial value: 0.0)
    rotation around the Y axis of the sensor, in radian
  • roll (float, initial value: 0.0)
    rotation around the X axis of the sensor, in radian

Interface support:

Services for Gyroscope

  • get_configurations() (blocking)

    Returns the configurations of a component (parsed from the properties).

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s configurations

  • get_local_data() (blocking)

    Returns the current data stored in the sensor.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current sensor’s data

  • get_properties() (blocking)

    Returns the properties of a component.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current component’s properties

  • set_property(prop_name, prop_val) (blocking)

    Modify one property on a component

    • Parameters

      • prop_name: the name of the property to modify (as shown the documentation)
      • prop_val: the new value of the property. Note that there is no checking about the type of the value so be careful
    • Return value

      nothing

Examples

The following examples show how to use this component in a Builder script:

from morse.builder import *

# adds a default robot (the MORSE mascott!)
robot = Morsy()

# creates a new instance of the sensor
gyroscope = Gyroscope()

# place your component at the correct location
gyroscope.translate(<x>, <y>, <z>)
gyroscope.rotate(<rx>, <ry>, <rz>)

robot.append(gyroscope)

# define one or several communication interface, like 'socket'
gyroscope.add_interface(<interface>)

env = Environment('empty')
