Classes

LighthouseBsGeoEstimator

LighthouseBsGeoEstimator()

This class is used to estimate the geometry (position and attitude) of a lighthouse base station, given angles measured using a lighthouse deck.


Methods

def estimate_geometry(self, bs_vectors)

Estimate the full pose of a base station based on angles from the 4 sensors on a lighthouse deck. The result is a rotation matrix and position of the base station, in the Crazyflie reference frame.

:param bs_vectors A list of 4 LighthouseBsVector objects specifying vectors to the 4 sensors :return rot_bs_in_cf_coord: Rotation matrix of the BS in the CFs coordinate system :return pos_bs_in_cf_coord: Position vector of the BS in the CFs coordinate system


def is_available(self)

def sanity_check_result(self, pos_bs_in_cf_coord)

Checks if the estimated geometry is within reasonable bounds. It returns true if it seems reasonable or false if it doesn’t


LighthouseBsVector

LighthouseBsVector(lh_v1_horiz_angle: float, lh_v1_vert_angle: float)

This class is representing a vector from a base station into space, in the base station reference frame. Typically the intersection of two light planes defined by angles measured by a base station. It also provides functionality to convert between lighthouse V1 angles, V2 angles and cartesian coordinates.

Initialize from lighthouse V1 angles

Parameters

Name Description
lh_v1_horiz_angle Horizontal sweep angle, 0 straight forward. Right (seen from the bs) is negative, left is positive
lh_v1_vert_angle Vertical sweep angle, 0 straight forward. Down is negative, up is positive.

Static methods

def from_cart(cart_vector: list[float]) > cflib.localization.lighthouse_bs_vector.LighthouseBsVector

Create a LighthouseBsVector object from cartesian coordinates.

Parameters

Name Description
cart_vector (x, y, z) to a point

def from_lh2(lh_v2_angle_1: float, lh_v2_angle_2: float) > cflib.localization.lighthouse_bs_vector.LighthouseBsVector

Create a LighthouseBsVector object from lighthouse V2 angles

Parameters

Name Description
lh_v2_angle_1 First sweep angles, 0 straight ahead
lh_v2_angle_2 Second sweep angles, 0 straight ahead

def from_projection(proj_point: list[float]) > cflib.localization.lighthouse_bs_vector.LighthouseBsVector

Create a LighthouseBsVector object from the projection point on the plane x=1.0

Parameters

Name Description
projection point (y, z)

Instance variables

cart: numpy.ndarray[typing.Any, numpy.dtype[numpy.float32]]

A normalized vector in cartesian coordinates


lh_v1_angle_pair: tuple[float, float]

Lightouse V1 angle pair (horiz, vert)


lh_v1_horiz_angle: float

Lightouse V1 horizontal sweep angle


lh_v1_vert_angle: float

Lightouse V1 vertical sweep angle


lh_v2_angle_1: float

Lightouse V2 first sweep angle


lh_v2_angle_2: float

Lightouse V2 second sweep angle


projection: numpy.ndarray[typing.Any, numpy.dtype[numpy.float32]]

The 2D point (y, z) when projected on the plane x=1.0 (one meter in front of the base station)

Static methods

def read(file_name)

def write(file_name, geos={}, calibs={}, system_type=2)

LighthouseConfigWriter

LighthouseConfigWriter(cf, nr_of_base_stations=16)

This class is used to write system config data to the Crazyflie RAM and persis to permanent storage


Methods

def write_and_store_config(self, data_stored_cb, geos=None, calibs=None, system_type=None)

Transfer geometry and calibration data to the Crazyflie and persist to permanent storage. The callback is called when done. If geos or calibs is None, no data will be written for that data type. If geos or calibs is a dictionary, the values for the base stations in the dictionary will transfered to the Crazyflie, data for all other base stations will be invalidated.


def write_and_store_config_from_file(self, data_stored_cb, file_name)

Read system configuration data from file and write/persist to the Crazyflie. Geometry and calibration data for base stations that are not in the config file will be invalidated.


LighthouseSweepAngleAverageReader

LighthouseSweepAngleAverageReader(cf, ready_cb)

Helper class to make it easy read sweep angles for multiple base stations and average the result


Methods

def is_collecting(self)

True if data collection is in progress


def start_angle_collection(self)

Start collecting angles. The process will terminate when nr_of_samples_required have been received


def stop_angle_collection(self)

Premature stop of data collection


LighthouseSweepAngleReader

LighthouseSweepAngleReader(cf, data_recevied_cb)

Wrapper to simplify reading of lighthouse sweep angles from the locSrv stream


Class variables

ANGLE_STREAM_PARAM

NR_OF_SENSORS

Methods

def start(self)

Start reading sweep angles


def stop(self)

Stop reading sweep angles
