Pilot Joystick

Description

The Pilot Joystick All block provides a pilot joystick interface for a Windows® platform. Roll, pitch, yaw, and throttle are mapped to the joystick X, Y, R, and Z channels respectively.

The Pilot Joystick and Pilot Joystick All blocks are alternative configurations of the same block.

  • Pilot Joystick — Outputs four axes.

  • Pilot Joystick All — Outputs all channels.

To generate deployable code, select one of the configuration parameter Microsoft® Visual Studio® C++ nmake toolchains from Code Generation > Toolchain.

Examples

Fly the De Havilland Beaver

Fly the De Havilland Beaver

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

Limitations

  • The Pilot Joystick All block is not supported in Simulink Online.

  • 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.
