Description

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

The Velocity Setpoint block reads the velocity setpoints (m/s) of the vehicle in the North-East-Down (NED) frame as set by ArduPilot’s guidance system based on the current flight mode.

• North (N): Positive direction points toward the North (geographical north).

• East (E): Positive direction points toward the East (perpendicular to North, in the horizontal plane).

• Down (D): Positive direction points downward, toward the Earth's center (vertical component).

This block supports only ArduCopter vehicle types.
