Example for airframe file

Add to your firmware section:

<module name="range_forcefield"/>

Module configuration options

Airframe file section

  • section name: RANGE_FORCEFIELD prefix: RANGE_FORCEFIELD_
    • name INNER_LIMIT value: 1.
      Description: The inner border of the range forcefield, where the MAV will avoid the obstacle with the maximum velocity as given by MIN_VEL (in meters)
    • name OUTER_LIMIT value: 1.4
      Description: The outer border of the range forcefield, where the MAV will start avoiding with velocity determined on the range measurement (starts with MIN_VEL)
    • name MIN_VEL value: 0.0
      Description: The minimum velocity which forces the MAV out of the forcefield (in [m/s])
    • name MAX_VEL value: 0.5
      Description: The maximum velocity which forces the MAV out of the forcefield (in [m/s])

Module functions

Init Functions

These initialization functions are called once on startup.

Periodic Functions

These functions are called periodically at the specified frequency from the module periodic loop.

  • range_forcefield_periodic()
    • Frequency in Hz: 10
    • Autorun: LOCK
      Periodic function automatically starts after init and can't be stopped.
