Gyroscope Block Handler

This Block Handler deals with Gyroscopes. It allows you to get and set Gyroscope rotation values and power levels.

Block Type Keywords: gyro
Block Type Group Keywords: gyros

Default Primitive Properties:

Bool - Enabled

“Enabled” Property

Primitive Type: Bool
Keywords: enable, enabled
Inverse Keywords: disable, disabled

Enables or Disables the given block

#Enable Block
enable "My Gyro"
set "My Gyro" to enabled
turn on "My Gyro"

#Disable Block
disable "My Gyro"
set "My Gyro" to disabled
turn off "My Gyro"

“Power” Property

Primitive Type: Numeric
Keywords: power, powered

Gets/Sets the Gyro Power limit. Values are between 0 - 1, with 1 = 100% Power.

Print "Gyro Power: " + "My Gyro" power

set "My Gyro" power to 0.5

“Auto” Property

Primitive Type: Bool
Keywords: auto, autopilot

Gets/Sets whether the Gyroscope is on automatic, meaning is not on override but rather responding to user input.

if "My Gyro" is on auto
  Print "Rotation is governed by user input"

set "My Gyro" to auto

“Limit” Property

Primitive Type: Numeric
Keywords: limit, limits

Gets/Sets the Gyro Power limit. Values are between 0 - 1, with 1 = 100% Power.

Print "Gyro Power: " + "My Gyro" limit

set "My Gyro" limit to 0.5

“Roll” Property

Primitive Type: Vector / Numeric / Bool
Keywords: roll, rollInput, rotation
Supports Directions (Up, Down, Left, Right, Clockwise, CounterClockwise)

This is useful for automatically adjusting your orientation based on some other inputs.

If a direction is given, expects a Numeric and Gets/Sets the Gyro override in the given direction, in RPM.

If no direction is given and a boolean is given, Gets/Sets whether Gyro Overrides are enabled.

If no direction is given and a vector is given, Gets/Sets the Gyro Overrides (Pitch:Yaw:Roll).

If no direction is given and no type is given, vector is assumed.

Note that Gyro overrides directions are based on the Gyro’s orientation, not the cockpit’s orientation.

Print "Gyro Left Rotation: " + "My Gyro" left rotation

#2 RPM rotating to the left
set "My Gyro" left rotation to 2

#3 RPM clockwise
set "My Gyro" clockwise roll to 3

“Input” Property

Primitive Type: Numeric
Keywords: input, inputs
Supports Directions (Left, Right, Up, Down, Clockwise, CounterClockwise)

Same as Roll Property.

Print "Gyro Left Rotation: " + "My Gyro" left input

#2 RPM rotating to the left
set "My Gyro" left input to 2

#3 RPM clockwise
set "My Gyro" clockwise input to 3

“Override” Property

Primitive Type: Bool
Keywords: override, overrides, overridden
