TOPICS: follow_target_status

Fields

Name	Type	Unit [Frame]	Range/Enum	Description
timestamp	uint64	microseconds		time since system start
tracked_target_course	float32	rad		Tracked target course in NED local frame (North is course zero)
follow_angle	float32	rad		Current follow angle setting
orbit_angle_setpoint	float32	rad		Current orbit angle setpoint from the smooth trajectory generator
angular_rate_setpoint	float32	rad/s		Angular rate commanded from Jerk-limited Orbit Angle trajectory for Orbit Angle
desired_position_raw	float32[3]	m		Raw 'idealistic' desired drone position if a drone could teleport from place to places
in_emergency_ascent	bool	bool		True when doing emergency ascent (when distance to ground is below safety altitude)
gimbal_pitch	float32	rad		Gimbal pitch commanded to track target in the center of the frame
