VehicleAttitude (UORB message)

This is similar to the mavlink message ATTITUDE_QUATERNION, but for onboard use. The quaternion uses the Hamilton convention, and the order is q(w, x, y, z).

TOPICS: vehicle_attitude vehicle_attitude_groundtruth external_ins_attitude estimator_attitude

Fields

Name	Type	Unit [Frame]	Range/Enum	Description
timestamp	uint64			time since system start (microseconds)
timestamp_sample	uint64			the timestamp of the raw data (microseconds)
q	float32[4]			Quaternion rotation from the FRD body frame to the NED earth frame
delta_q_reset	float32[4]			Amount by which quaternion has changed during last reset
quat_reset_counter	uint8			Quaternion reset counter
