Interface ManualCopterPilotingItf

    • Method Detail

      • activate

        boolean activate()
        Activates this piloting interface.

        If successful, the currently active piloting interface (if any) is deactivated and this one is activated.

        Returns:
        true on success, false in case the piloting interface cannot be activated at this point

      • setPitch

        void setPitch​(int value)
        Sets the current pitch value.

        value is expressed as a signed percentage of the max pitch/roll setting, in range [-100, 100].
        -100 corresponds to a pitch angle of max pitch/roll towards ground (copter will fly forward), 100 corresponds to a pitch angle of max pitch/roll towards sky (copter will fly backward).

        Note: value may be clamped if necessary, in order to respect the maximum supported physical tilt of the copter.

        Parameters:
        value - the new pitch value to set
        See Also:
        getMaxPitchRoll()

      • setRoll

        void setRoll​(int value)
        Sets the current roll value.

        value is expressed as a signed percentage of the max pitch/roll setting, in range [-100, 100].
        -100 corresponds to a roll angle of max pitch/roll to the left (copter will fly left), 100 corresponds to a roll angle of max pitch/roll to the right (copter will fly right).

        Note: value may be clamped if necessary, in order to respect the maximum supported physical tilt of the copter.

        Parameters:
        value - the new pitch roll to set
        See Also:
        getMaxPitchRoll()

      • setYawRotationSpeed

        void setYawRotationSpeed​(int value)
        Set the current yaw rotation speed value.

        value is expressed as as a signed percentage of the max yaw rotation speed setting, in range [-100, 100].
        -100 corresponds to a counter-clockwise rotation of max yaw rotation speed, 100 corresponds to a clockwise rotation of max yaw rotation speed.

        Parameters:
        value - the new yaw rotation speed value to set
        See Also:
        getMaxYawRotationSpeed()

      • setVerticalSpeed

        void setVerticalSpeed​(int value)
        Set the current vertical speed value.

        value is expressed as as a signed percentage of the max vertical speed setting, in range [-100, 100].
        -100 corresponds to max vertical speed towards ground,100 corresponds to max vertical speed towards sky.

        Parameters:
        value - the new vertical speed value to set
        See Also:
        getMaxVerticalSpeed()

      • hover

        void hover()
        Requests the copter to hover.

        Puts pitch and roll to 0.

      • canTakeOff

        boolean canTakeOff()
        Tells whether the copter can take off.
        Returns:
        true if the copter can take off, otherwise false

      • canLand

        boolean canLand()
        Tells whether the copter can land.
        Returns:
        true if the copter can land, otherwise false

      • takeOff

        void takeOff()
        Requests the copter to take off.

      • thrownTakeOff

        void thrownTakeOff()
        Requests the copter to get prepared for a thrown take-off.

      • smartTakeOffLand

        void smartTakeOffLand()
        Requests the copter to either take off, or get prepared for a thrown take-off, or cancel a thrown take-off, or land, depending on its state and on the thrown take-off setting.
        See Also:
        getSmartTakeOffLandAction(), getThrownTakeOffMode()

      • land

        void land()
        Requests the copter to land.

      • emergencyCutOut

        void emergencyCutOut()
        Requests emergency motor cut out.

      • getMaxPitchRoll

        @NonNull
DoubleSetting getMaxPitchRoll()
        Gets the maximum roll and pitch angle setting, in degrees.

        Defines the range used by setPitch(int) and setRoll(int) methods. For instance, setting pitch to 100 corresponds to an angle of getMaxPitchRoll().getValue() degrees.

        Returns:
        the maximum roll/pitch setting

      • getMaxPitchRollVelocity

        @NonNull
OptionalDoubleSetting getMaxPitchRollVelocity()

        Defines the copter dynamic by changing the speed by which the copter will move to the requested roll/pitch angle.

        Returns:
        the maximum roll/pitch velocity setting

      • getMaxVerticalSpeed

        @NonNull
