Description

The Pilot Joystick All block provides a pilot joystick interface for a Windows^® platform. Analog is mapped to the joystick X, Y, Z, R, U, and V channels. Buttons and POV are mapped to up to 32 joystick button states and the joystick point-of-view hat.

You can also configure the block to output four axes by setting the Output configuration parameter to FourAxis.

This block does not produce deployable code.

Examples

Fly the De Havilland Beaver

Model the De Havilland Beaver using Simulink^® and Aerospace Blockset™ software.

Open Model

Limitations

• If the joystick does not support an R (rudder or twist) channel, yaw output is set to zero. Outputs are of type double, except when Joystick ID is set to AllOutputs mode, which is a uint32 flagword of bits. On non Microsoft^® platforms, this block outputs zeros.

• Pitch value has the opposite sense as that delivered by the FlightGear joystick interface.

Ports

Output

analog — Analog output

range [-1, 1] | range [ 0, 1]

Analog output, returned according to:

Array Number	Channel	Output Range	Joystick	Description
1	X	[-1, 1]	[left, right]	Roll command
2	Y	[-1, 1]	[forward/down, back/up]	Pitch command
3	Z	[ 0, 1]	[min, max]	Throttle command
4	R	[-1, 1]	[left, right]	Yaw command
5	U	[ 0, 1]	[min, max]	U channel value
6	V	[ 0, 1]	[min, max]	V channel value

Data Types: double

buttons — Button

flagword with 32 button states

Button output, returned as a flagword containing up to 32 button states on the buttons channel. Bit 0 is button 1, Bit 1 is button 2, and so forth.

Data Types: uint32

POV — Point-of-view

hat

Point-of-view, returned as a hat value in degrees on the POV channel. Zero degrees is straight ahead, 90 degrees is to the left, and so forth.

Data Types: double
