Current UAV pose, specified as an [x y z heading] vector. [x y z] is the UAV's position in NED coordinates (north-east-down) specified in meters. heading is the angle between ground velocity and north direction in radians per second.

Example: [1,1,-10,pi/4]

Data Types: single | double

Center of orbit, specified as an [x y z] vector. [x y z] is the orbit center position in NED coordinates (north-east-down) specified in meters.

Example: [5,5,-10]

Data Types: single | double

Radius of orbit, specified as a positive scalar in meters.

Example: 5

Data Types: single | double

Direction of orbit, specified as a scalar. Positive values indicate a clockwise turn as viewed from above. Negative values indicate a counter-clockwise turn. A value of 0 automatically determines the value based on the input to Pose.

Example: -1

Data Types: single | double

Lookahead distance for tracking the orbit, specified as a positive scalar. Tuning this value helps adjust how tightly the UAV follows the orbit circle. Smaller values improve tracking, but can lead to oscillations in the path.

Example: 2

Data Types: single | double

Reset for counting turns, specified as a numeric signal. Any rising signal triggers a reset of the NumTurns output.

Example: 2

Dependencies

To enable this input, select rising for External reset.

Data Types: single | double

Lookahead point on path, returned as an [x y z] position vector in meters.

Data Types: double

Desired heading, returned as numeric scalar in radians in the range of [-pi, pi]. The UAV heading is the angle of direction of the velocity vector relative to north measured in radians.

Data Types: double

Desired yaw, returned as numeric scalar in radians in the range of [-pi, pi]. The UAV yaw is the forward direction of the UAV (regardless of the velocity vector) relative to north measured in radians.

Data Types: double

Cross track error from UAV position to path, returned as a positive numeric scalar in meters. The error measures the perpendicular distance from the UAV position to the closest point on the path.

Dependencies

This port is only visible if Show CrossTrackError output port is checked.

Data Types: double

Number of times the UAV has completed the orbit, returned as a numeric scalar. As the UAV circles the center point, this value increases or decreases based on the specified Turn Direction. Decimal values indicate partial completion of a circle. If the UAV cross track error exceeds the lookahead distance, the number of turns is not updated.

NumTurns is reset whenever Center, Radius, or TurnDirection are changed. You can also use the ResetNumTurns input.

Dependencies

This port is only visible if Show NumTurns output port is checked.
