Figure 3.0 Schematic Diagram of Reference Coordinate System for Vehicle Body
As shown in Figure 3.0, the vehicle body of SCOUT 2.0 is in parallel with X axis of the established
reference coordinate system. Following this convention, a positive linear velocity corresponds to the
forward movement of the vehicle along positive x-axis direction and a positive angular velocity
corresponds to positive right-hand rotation about the z-axis. In the manual control mode with a RC
transmitter, pushing the C1 stick (DJI model) or the S1 stick (FS model) forward will generate a
positive linear velocity command and pushing C2 (DJI model) and S2 (FS model) to the left will
generate a positive angular velocity command.
2.5 Instructions on lighting control
Lights are mounted in front and at back of SCOUT 2.0, and the lighting control interface of SCOUT
2.0 is open to the users for convenience. Meanwhile, another lighting control interface is reserved on
the RC transmitter for energy saving.
Currently the lighting control is only supported with the FS transmitter, and support for other
transmitters is still under development. There are 3 kinds of lighting modes controlled with RC
transmitter,
which can be switched among each other by SWC toggling:
•
NC mode: In NC mode, if the chassis is still, the front light will be turned off, and the rear light
will enter BL mode to indicate its current operating status; if the chassis is in the traveling state
at certain normal speed, the rear light will be turned off but the front light will be turned on;
•
NO mode: In NO mode, if the chassis is still, the front light will be normally on, and the rear
light will enter the BL mode to indicate the still status; if in movement mode, the rear light is
turned off but the front light is turned on;
•
BL mode: Front and rear lights are both in breathing mode under all circumstances.
Note on mode control:
Toggling SWC lever respectively refers to NC mode, NO mode and BL mode in bottom, middle
and top positions.
