Member Function Documentation

virtual bool DtSensorGimbalController::init ( )

virtual

Calls setRadio()

Reimplemented from DtControllerComponent.

virtual bool DtSensorGimbalController::postAddComponentsInit ( )

virtual

Called after all components have been created, initialized and added to the component manager.

Override this function if you need to do any further initialization after all other components have been created.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

virtual const char* DtSensorGimbalController::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. Warning: this function should always return the same pointer and it should be valid forever. This means the data should be static.

Returns

DtSensorGimbalControllerType

Implements DtControllerComponent.

virtual void DtSensorGimbalController::tick ( )

virtual

This gives the thread of control to the component.

The component is ticked once each simulation from by the component list it's on. This base class tick has no functionality.

Reimplemented from DtSimComponent.

static void DtSensorGimbalController::setAimGimbalCallback ( DtSimMessage *  msg, void *  usr  )

static

Processes a command to set the aiming of the gimbal.

virtual void DtSensorGimbalController::processSetAimGimbal ( DtSimMessage *  msg )
