GPS

This sensor emulates a GPS, providing the exact coordinates in the Blender scene. The coordinates provided by the GPS are with respect to the origin of the Blender coordinate reference.

Configuration parameters for gps

No configurable parameter.

Data fields

This sensor exports these datafields at each simulation step:

  • x (float, initial value: 0.0)

    x coordinate of the sensor, in world coordinate, in meter

  • y (float, initial value: 0.0)

    y coordinate of the sensor, in world coordinate, in meter

  • z (float, initial value: 0.0)

    z coordinate of the sensor, in world coordinate, in meter

Interface support:

Services for GPS

  • get_local_data() (blocking)

    Returns the current data stored in the sensor.

    • Return value

      a dictionary of the current sensor’s data

Examples

The following example shows how to use this component in a Builder script:

from morse.builder import *

robot = ATRV()

# creates a new instance of the sensor
gps = GPS()

# place your component at the correct location
gps.translate(<x>, <y>, <z>)
gps.rotate(<rx>, <ry>, <rz>)

robot.append(%(var)s)

# define one or several communication interface, like 'socket'
gps.add_interface(<interface>)

env = Environment('empty')
