Position Observer

This section contains a description of the SkydelPositionObserverInterface supported by Skydel.

Real Time Positions

During simulation initialization, Skydel will ask for a SkydelRuntimePositionObserver* from every plug-in via the createRuntimePositionObserver method. It's mandatory to fully give the ownership of the returned pointer to Skydel.

During simulation, Skydel will send the vehicle position data in ecef at 1000 Hz via the pushPosition method with the following data structure:

TimedPosition	Unit
time	millisecond
position(x, y, z)	meter
orientation(roll, pitch, yaw)	radian

Dynamic User Interface

During simulation initialization, Skydel will provide opportunity for plug-ins to connect to their user interface for real-time updates via the connectToView method. The QWidget* parameter is the same as the one created by the createUI method.

Example

See the plug-in example position_observer_plugin for more information. It covers:

• Receiving real time position data

• Updating the user interface

• Logging in the temporary folder

• Sending position data on the network
