Member Function Documentation

set_pitch_and_yaw_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::set_pitch_and_yaw_async(float pitch_deg, float yaw_deg, const ResultCallback callback)

Set gimbal pitch and yaw angles.

This sets the desired pitch and yaw angles of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually be set to the new angles.

This function is non-blocking. See 'set_pitch_and_yaw' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

set_pitch_and_yaw()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::set_pitch_and_yaw(float pitch_deg, float yaw_deg) const

Set gimbal pitch and yaw angles.

This sets the desired pitch and yaw angles of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually be set to the new angles.

This function is blocking. See 'set_pitch_and_yaw_async' for the non-blocking counterpart.

Parameters

  • float pitch_deg -
  • float yaw_deg -

Returns

Result - Result of request.

set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate_async(float pitch_rate_deg_s, float yaw_rate_deg_s, const ResultCallback callback)

Set gimbal angular rates around pitch and yaw axes.

This sets the desired angular rates around pitch and yaw axes of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually reach the angular rate.

This function is non-blocking. See 'set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

  • float pitch_rate_deg_s -
  • float yaw_rate_deg_s -
  • const ResultCallback callback -

set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate(float pitch_rate_deg_s, float yaw_rate_deg_s) const

Set gimbal angular rates around pitch and yaw axes.

This sets the desired angular rates around pitch and yaw axes of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually reach the angular rate.

This function is blocking. See 'set_pitch_rate_and_yaw_rate_async' for the non-blocking counterpart.

Parameters

  • float pitch_rate_deg_s -
  • float yaw_rate_deg_s -

Returns

Result - Result of request.

set_mode_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::set_mode_async(GimbalMode gimbal_mode, const ResultCallback callback)

Set gimbal mode.

This sets the desired yaw mode of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted. However, it might take the gimbal longer to actually be set to the new angles.

This function is non-blocking. See 'set_mode' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

set_mode()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::set_mode(GimbalMode gimbal_mode) const

Set gimbal mode.

This sets the desired yaw mode of a gimbal. Will return when the command is accepted. However, it might take the gimbal longer to actually be set to the new angles.

This function is blocking. See 'set_mode_async' for the non-blocking counterpart.

Parameters

Returns

set_roi_location_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::set_roi_location_async(double latitude_deg, double longitude_deg, float altitude_m, const ResultCallback callback)

Set gimbal region of interest (ROI).

This sets a region of interest that the gimbal will point to. The gimbal will continue to point to the specified region until it receives a new command. The function will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually rotate to the ROI.

This function is non-blocking. See 'set_roi_location' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

  • double latitude_deg -
  • double longitude_deg -
  • float altitude_m -
  • const ResultCallback callback -

set_roi_location()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::set_roi_location(double latitude_deg, double longitude_deg, float altitude_m) const

Set gimbal region of interest (ROI).

This sets a region of interest that the gimbal will point to. The gimbal will continue to point to the specified region until it receives a new command. The function will return when the command is accepted, however, it might take the gimbal longer to actually rotate to the ROI.

Parameters

  • double latitude_deg -
  • double longitude_deg -
  • float altitude_m -

Returns

Result - Result of request.

take_control_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::take_control_async(ControlMode control_mode, const ResultCallback callback)

Take control.

There can be only two components in control of a gimbal at any given time. One with "primary" control, and one with "secondary" control. The way the secondary control is implemented is not specified and hence depends on the vehicle.

Components are expected to be cooperative, which means that they can override each other and should therefore do it carefully.

This function is non-blocking. See 'take_control' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

take_control()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::take_control(ControlMode control_mode) const

Take control.

There can be only two components in control of a gimbal at any given time. One with "primary" control, and one with "secondary" control. The way the secondary control is implemented is not specified and hence depends on the vehicle.

Components are expected to be cooperative, which means that they can override each other and should therefore do it carefully.

This function is blocking. See 'take_control_async' for the non-blocking counterpart.

Parameters

Returns

Result - Result of request.

release_control_async()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::release_control_async(const ResultCallback callback)

Release control.

Release control, such that other components can control the gimbal.

This function is non-blocking. See 'release_control' for the blocking counterpart.

Parameters

release_control()

Result mavsdk::Gimbal::release_control() const

Release control.

Release control, such that other components can control the gimbal.

This function is blocking. See 'release_control_async' for the non-blocking counterpart.

Returns

Result - Result of request.

subscribe_control()

ControlHandle mavsdk::Gimbal::subscribe_control(const ControlCallback &callback)

Subscribe to control status updates.

This allows a component to know if it has primary, secondary or no control over the gimbal. Also, it gives the system and component ids of the other components in control (if any).

Parameters

Returns

ControlHandle -

unsubscribe_control()

void mavsdk::Gimbal::unsubscribe_control(ControlHandle handle)

Unsubscribe from subscribe_control.

Parameters

control()

ControlStatus mavsdk::Gimbal::control() const

Poll for 'ControlStatus' (blocking).

Returns

ControlStatus - One ControlStatus update.

operator=()

const Gimbal& mavsdk::Gimbal::operator=(const Gimbal &)=delete

Parameters

Returns

 const Gimbal & -
