Detailed Description

DtBaseMountingController is a controller that generates the azimuth and elevation controls needed to manipulate a weapon mount to the a desired azimuth and elevation.

It expects to control an azimuth and/or elevation mount actuator(s).

Uses Descriptor Type: DtComponentDescriptor

Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::postAddComponentsInit ( )

virtual

Overridden to activate myMountingControlPortGroup.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual DtString DtBaseMountingController::type ( ) const

virtual

Returns a string identifies the class type of component.

Type values are defined in compTypes.h. DtSimComponent creation functions are registered with the DtSimComponentFactory using the type values as the key.

Returns: DtBaseMountingControllerType

Reimplemented from DtControllerComponent.

Reimplemented in DtMountingController.

virtual DtOutputPortGroup* DtBaseMountingController::mountingControlPortGroup ( )

virtual

Returns myMountingControlPortGroup.

virtual DtInputPortGroup* DtBaseMountingController::azimuthInfoPortGroup ( )

virtual

Returns myAzimuthInfoPortGroup.

virtual DtInputPortGroup* DtBaseMountingController::elevationInfoPortGroup ( )

virtual

Returns myAzimuthInfoPortGroup.

virtual void DtBaseMountingController::tick ( )

virtual

Calculate new control values.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual void DtBaseMountingController::reorientMounting ( )

virtual

Spin the mounting to point toward the desired targetPoint or desiredAzimuth/desiredElevation.

Takes the current orientation of myChildSimBody (the DtSimBody part that has the combined azimuth and elevation orientation of the mounting), and generates the azimuth and elevation steering input needed to maneuver the mounting toward the desired azimuth and elevation. It obtains the orientation of the mount point in body coordinates of the entity, from myChildSimBody. These Euler angles give the current azimuth and elevation settings of the mount point. It then calls the static functions DtMountingAzimuthActuator::computeDeltaOutsideAzimuthRange(), and DtMountingElevationActuator::computeDeltaOutsideElevationRange(), to determine the extent to which the current orientation is off-target. If the azimuth or elevation angular extent returned is zero, the corresponding port value is set to zero. If not, the function is called to generate a control input, given the amount the angle is off approximateMountSwing() by, and the maximum angular rate at which it can swing. It sets the control input for the port with the value returned by approximateMountSwing().

virtual void DtBaseMountingController::setDesiredAzimuth ( DtReal desiredAzimuth )

virtual

Set an azimuth you want this mounting to point towards. This azimuth is relative to the body.

virtual DtReal DtBaseMountingController::desiredAzimuth ( )

virtual

Set an azimuth you want this mounting to point towards. This azimuth is relative to the body.

virtual void DtBaseMountingController::setDesiredElevation ( DtReal desiredElevation )

virtual

Set an elevation you want this mounting to point towards. This elevation is relative to the body.

virtual DtReal DtBaseMountingController::desiredElevation ( )

virtual

Set an elevation you want this mounting to point towards. This elevation is relative to the body.

virtual void DtBaseMountingController::findDesiredAzimuthAndElevation ( )

virtual

Reimplemented in DtMountingController.

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::desiredOrientationIsInRange	(	double &	azimuthOutOfRangeBy,
		double &	elevationOutOfRangeBy,
		double	additionalAzimuthMargin = `0.0`,
		double	additionalElevationMargin = `0.0`
	)

virtual

Returns true if the desired azimuth and elevation are within the range that this mounting can do.

If it's out of range, the method returns false and puts the outOfRangeBy amounts into the appropriate "out" params. The params for additionalMargin allows the caller to broaden the acceptable azimuth and elevation range by the passed in values.

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::createAzimuthPort ( )

virtual

These are called in init to create the ports used to communicate with the actuator.

virtual DtConstrainedAnalogOutputPort* DtBaseMountingController::azimuthPort ( ) const

virtual

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::createElevationPort ( )

virtual

virtual DtConstrainedAnalogOutputPort* DtBaseMountingController::elevationPort ( ) const

virtual

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::createAzimuthInfoPorts ( )

virtual

creates the ports used by myAzimuthInfoPortGroup

virtual bool DtBaseMountingController::createElevationInfoPorts ( )

virtual

creates the ports used by myElevationInfoPortGroup

virtual double DtBaseMountingController::approximateMountSwing	(	double	angleChange,
		double	maxRate
	)

virtual

Determine how fast a mounting should swing given the angle it must travel through (angleChange) and the maxRate of its transit.

Takes as input the amount of angle to be changed and the maximum angular rate of change, and returns a value between -1.0 and 1.0, representing the scaled rate at which the angle should change. It computes this value to be the amount of angular change desired, divided by the maximum angular rate times the current frame duration, dT, for example:

Returns: angleChange / (maxRate * dT());
