Specification for GyroSensor class

1. Overview

1. functions

• The GyroSensor class simulates a gyro sensor.
• The GyroSensor class calculates and returns the observed angular velocity with noise.

2. files

• gyro_sensor.cpp, gyro_sensor.hpp: Definitions and declarations of the class
• gyro_sensor.ini: Initialization file
• plot_gyro_sensor.py: An example of a Python script to plot gyro sensor output

3. how to use

• Set the parameters in gyro_sensor.ini.
  • quaternion_b2c: Frame conversion quaternion from body to component frame.
  • Other parameters
    • Parameters for the Component class
    • Parameters for the Sensor class
    • Parameters for the PowerPort class
• Create an instance by using the initialization function InitGyroSensor
• Use the Get* function to get angular velocity information.

2. Explanation of Algorithm

1. MainRoutine

1. Overview

• The MainRoutine function converts the angular velocity coordinate from the body to the component and adds noises using the feature of the Sensor class.

2. Inputs and Outputs

• NA

3. Algorithm

• NA

3. Results of verifications

• The output result obtained by the default initial settings.
  • The figure is generated by the Python script.
