FigureEightStatus (UORB message)

TOPICS: figure_eightstatus

Fields

Name	Type	Unit [Frame]	Range/Enum	Description
timestamp	uint64			time since system start (microseconds)
major_radius	float32			Major axis radius of the figure eight [m]. Positive values orbit clockwise, negative values orbit counter-clockwise.
minor_radius	float32			Minor axis radius of the figure eight [m].
orientation	float32			Orientation of the major axis of the figure eight [rad].
frame	uint8			The coordinate system of the fields: x, y, z.
x	int32			X coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = x position in meters _ 1e4, global = latitude in degrees _ 1e7.
y	int32			Y coordinate of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field: local = y position in meters _ 1e4, global = latitude in degrees _ 1e7.
z	float32			Altitude of center point. Coordinate system depends on frame field.
