Current Attitude

Reads current attitude

Since R2026a

Libraries:
UAV Toolbox Support Package for ArduPilot Autopilots / Controller Interface Blocks

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the UAV Toolbox Support Package for ArduPilot Autopilots add-on.

The Current Attitude block outputs the current attitude of the vehicle (roll, pitch, and yaw angles) as determined by ArduPilot's Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS).

Limitations

This block is not supported in triggered subsystems.

Port_1 — Current attitude
vector

Current attitude of the vehicle (roll, pitch, and yaw angles) as determined by ArduPilot's Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS).

Data Types: single

Parameters

Output as — Output format for the current attitude
`Euler(ZYX)` (default) | `Quaternion(ZYX)`

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

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

Sample time — Time interval to read data
`-1` (default)

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