LongitudinalControlConfiguration (UORB message)

Fixed Wing Longitudinal Control Configuration message.

Used by the fw_lateral_longitudinal_control module and TECS to constrain FixedWingLongitudinalSetpoint messages and configure the resultant setpoints.

TOPICS: longitudinal_control_configuration

Fields

Name Type Unit [Frame] Range/Enum Description
timestamp uint64 us Time since system start
pitch_min float32 rad [-pi : pi] Defaults to FW_P_LIM_MIN if NAN.
pitch_max float32 rad [-pi : pi] Defaults to FW_P_LIM_MAX if NAN.
throttle_min float32 norm [0 : 1] Defaults to FW_THR_MIN if NAN.
throttle_max float32 norm [0 : 1] Defaults to FW_THR_MAX if NAN.
climb_rate_target float32 m/s Target climbrate to change altitude. Defaults to FW_T_CLIMB_MAX if NAN. Not used if height_rate is directly set in FixedWingLongitudinalSetpoint.
sink_rate_target float32 m/s Target sinkrate to change altitude. Defaults to FW_T_SINK_MAX if NAN. Not used if height_rate is directly set in FixedWingLongitudinalSetpoint.
speed_weight float32 [0 : 2] 0=pitch controls altitude only, 2=pitch controls airspeed only
enforce_low_height_condition bool If true, the altitude controller is configured with an alternative timeconstant for tighter altitude tracking
disable_underspeed_protection bool If true, underspeed handling is disabled in the altitude controller
