Re: yaw, pitch and roll to direction and elevation

Hi Narcís, Thanks for the impressively fast response! I originally used the Vector 3D series to draw the “probe position” and I did not find a line thickness for this series. Changing the pen width for the series did make the probe’s vector arrow thicker. Thanks for the idea. I eventually changed to...

Re: yaw, pitch and roll to direction and elevation

HI, I now have a start to what I need. I setup a 3D TeeChart with each axis set to 0 to 10. I added an image of a compass rose on the bottom axis. I plot a vector from the center of the top (5,10,5) to the positions given to me by the sensor (see the image below). The vector the represents the direc...

Re: yaw, pitch and roll to direction and elevation

HI, I have my probe working fairly well and would like to plot it. What would be the best way to plot the probe's direction (yaw, pitch, roll) using teechart? The probe is in a borehole so its basically point downwards. I would like to hold (fix) the back of the probe at the top and center of a 3d s...

Re: yaw, pitch and roll to direction and elevation

Hi Yeray, Thanks for responding. I would like to display in real-time a probe in 3D space showing its direction and tilt using TeeChart. You are right that the calculations are the problem - not TeeChart at the moment ;-). I was hoping that someone else may have also plotted a Yaw, Pitch and Roll se...

yaw, pitch and roll to direction and elevation

Hi, I have a sensor in a borehole probe that outputs yaw (azimuth), pitch and roll. I would like to convert the output to Direction and Elevation (for example the probe has a direction of 37.5 degrees from north and is tilted down at an angle of 82.4 degrees from the horizontal). Then I want to make...
