  • Pilot Joystick All block

Description

The Pilot Joystick All block provides a pilot joystick interface for a Windows® platform. Analog is mapped to the joystick X, Y, Z, R, U, and V channels. Buttons and POV are mapped to up to 32 joystick button states and the joystick point-of-view hat.

You can also configure the block to output four axes by setting the Output configuration parameter to FourAxis.

This block does not produce deployable code.

Limitations

  • If the joystick does not support an R (rudder or twist) channel, yaw output is set to zero. Outputs are of type double, except when Joystick ID is set to AllOutputs mode, which is a uint32 flagword of bits. On non Microsoft® platforms, this block outputs zeros.

  • Pitch value has the opposite sense as that delivered by the FlightGear joystick interface.

Data Types: double

Button output, returned as a flagword containing up to 32 button states on the buttons channel. Bit 0 is button 1, Bit 1 is button 2, and so forth.

Data Types: uint32

Point-of-view, returned as a hat value in degrees on the POV channel. Zero degrees is straight ahead, 90 degrees is to the left, and so forth.

Data Types: double

Fly the De Havilland Beaver

How to model the De Havilland Beaver using Simulink® and Aerospace Blockset™ software. It also shows how to use a pilot's joystick to fly the De Havilland Beaver. This model has been color-coded to aid in locating Aerospace Blockset blocks. The red blocks are Aerospace Blockset blocks, the orange blocks are subsystems containing additional Aerospace Blockset blocks, and the white blocks are Simulink blocks.
