Attitude Angle

The X Sense HAT calculates the attitude angle of the current position so that we can know whether the X Sense HAT horizontal or not.

TIPS

You can read the attitude angle of X Sense HAT through this block, modify the drop-down menu options, and then choose to read roll angle or pitch angle.

EXAMPLE

Using help

This is the coordinate system of the attitude angle.

Note

Note the positive direction on each axis.

The unit symbol of the attitude angle also follows the right-hand spiral rule.

Hold the x-axis with your right hand and the thumb points in the direction of the positive semi-axis. At this time, the direction pointed by the four fingers is the positive direction of the roll angle.

In the same way, hold the y-axis with your right hand and the thumb points in the direction of the positive semi-axis. At this time, the direction pointed by the four fingers is the positive direction of the pitch angle.

After the code runs, and then place the X Sense HAT horizontally, 0 will be printed on the Debug Monitor.

If you rotate the X Sense HAT 30 degrees clockwise around the x-axis, 30 will be printed on the Debug Monitor.

Now change the drop-down menu to pitch, and then re-run the code.

Rotate the X Sense HAT 30 degrees counterclockwise around the y-axis, -30 will be printed on the Debug Monitor.
