Detailed Description

Allow moving the control surfaces of a Cessna C-172 plane.

This plugin might be used with other models that have similar control surfaces.

The plugin requires the following parameters: <propeller> Name of the joint controlling the propeller spin. <propeller_max_rpm> Maximum angular speed in rpm. <left_aileron> Name of the joint controlling the left aileron. <left_flap> Name of the joint controlling the left flap. <right_aileron> Name of the joint controlling the right aileron. <right_flap> Name of the joint controlling the right flap. <elevators> Name of the joint controlling the rear elevators. <rudder> Name of the joint controlling the rudder.

The following parameters are optional: <propeller_p_gain> P gain for the PID that controls the propeller's speed. <propeller_i_gain> I gain for the PID that controls the propeller's speed. <propeller_d_gain> D gain for the PID that controls the propeller's speed. <surfaces_p_gain> P gain for the PID that controls the position of the control surfaces. <surfaces_i_gain> I gain for the PID that controls the position of the control surfaces. <surfaces_d_gain> D gain for the PID that controls the position of the control surfaces.

The plugin will be subscribed to the following topic: "~/<model_name>/control" The expected value is a Cessna message.

The plugin will advertise the following topic with the current state: "~/<model_name>/state"

a class method that creates a plugin from a file name.

It locates the shared library and loads it dynamically.

Parameters
[in]_filenamethe path to the shared library.
[in]_nameshort name of the plugin
Returns
Shared Pointer to this class type

)
virtual

Load function.

Called when a Plugin is first created, and after the World has been loaded. This function should not be blocking.

Parameters
[in]_modelPointer to the Model
[in]_sdfPointer to the SDF element of the plugin.

Implements ModelPlugin.

virtual void Reset ( )
inlinevirtualinherited

Override this method for custom plugin reset behavior.

Reimplemented in RandomVelocityPlugin, ElevatorPlugin, FollowerPlugin, LinearBatteryPlugin, InitialVelocityPlugin, and SphereAtlasDemoPlugin.
