Data Types: single

Parameters

Output as — Output format for the attitude setpoint

Euler(ZYX) (default) | Quaternion(ZYX)

Select the output format for the attitude setpoint. This parameter allows you to choose between representing the attitude as Euler angles or as a Quaternion.

• Euler (ZYX): Select this option to output the attitude setpoint in Euler angles format, using the ZYX convention, which represents the rotation in roll, pitch, and yaw angles.

• Quaternion (WXYZ): Select this option to output the attitude in quaternion format, which consists of a four-part hyper-complex number (W, X, Y, Z).

Sample time — Interval at which the block reads values

-1 (default)

The time interval at which the block reads values from the ArduPilot autopilot.
