Android Question DJI gimbal rotation with Java Object

[shb777]

In my DJI Mobile app, I want to rotate the gimbal in the roll axis, so I can level the horizon.
I'm trying to do this with a JavaObject.

I dimention my JavaObject in Process_Globals, and assign them values in Activity_Create,
since I figure I'm going to be using them a lot in my program.

Sub Process_Globals

    Dim AircraftInstance As JavaObject
    Dim AirlinkInstance As JavaObject
    Dim GimbalInstance As JavaObject

sub AfterAircraftConnected

        AircraftInstance=aircraft
        GimbalInstance=AircraftInstance.RunMethod("getGimbal", Null)
        AirlinkInstance=AircraftInstance.RunMethod("getAirLink", Null)

I want to have a sub that rotates the gimbal like this:


Sub RotateGimbal(direction,degrees)



GimbalInstance.RunMethod("rotate",Array(??????))

this is the java method void rotate(@NonNull final Rotation rotation, @Nullable final CompletionCallback callback)
' Rotation is a class

End Sub

But I don't know how to pass rotate's parameters to it with java object?
How do these parameters (@NonNull final Rotation rotation, @Nullable final CompletionCallback callback) go in Array(??????)

Try this untested code:

Sub RotateGimbal (roll As Float)
   Dim aircraftjo As JavaObject = aircraft
   Dim gimbal As JavaObject = aircraftjo.RunMethod("getGimbal", Null)
   If gimbal.IsInitialized Then
     Dim cc As Object = gimbal.CreateEventFromUI("dji.common.util.CommonCallbacks$CompletionCallback", "callback", Null)
     gimbal.RunMethod("rotate", Array(CreateRotation(roll), cc))
     Wait For (gimbal) Callback_Event (MethodName As String, Args() As Object)
     If Args(0) = Null Then
       Log("Gimbal rotated successfully.")
     Else
       Log("Error setting rotation: " & Args(0))
     End If
   Else
     Log("Gimbal not available.")
   End If
End Sub

Sub CreateRotation (RollAngle As Float) As JavaObject
   Dim builder As JavaObject
   builder.InitializeNewInstance("dji.common.gimbal.Rotation.Builder", Null)
   Dim time As Double = 2 'seconds
   builder.RunMethod("mode", Array("ABSOLUTE_ANGLE"))
   builder.RunMethod("time", Array(time))
   builder.RunMethod("roll", Array(RollAngle))
   Return builder.RunMethodJO("build", Null)
End Sub

ok thanks. I'll try it tomorrow. Steve

 

[shb777]

I passed it 10.0 and 0.5. both times I got error setting rotation: param illegal steve

Try to set the other values as well:

Sub CreateRotation (RollAngle As Float) As JavaObject
   Dim builder As JavaObject
   builder.InitializeNewInstance("dji.common.gimbal.Rotation.Builder", Null)
   Dim time As Double = 2 'seconds
   Dim pitch = 0, yaw = 0 As Float
   builder.RunMethod("mode", Array("ABSOLUTE_ANGLE"))
   builder.RunMethod("time", Array(time))
   builder.RunMethod("roll", Array(RollAngle))
   builder.RunMethod("pitch", Array(pitch))
   builder.RunMethod("yaw", Array(yaw))
   Return builder.RunMethodJO("build", Null)
End Sub

Sub CreateRotation (RollAngle As Float) As JavaObject
   Dim builder As JavaObject
   builder.InitializeNewInstance("dji.common.gimbal.Rotation.Builder", Null)
   Dim time As Double = 2 'seconds
   Dim pitch = 0, yaw = 0 As Float
   builder.RunMethod("mode", Array("ABSOLUTE_ANGLE"))
   builder.RunMethod("time", Array(time))
   builder.RunMethod("roll", Array(RollAngle))
   builder.RunMethod("pitch", Array(pitch))
   builder.RunMethod("yaw", Array(yaw))
   Return builder.RunMethodJO("build", Null)
End Sub

I tried that and got same error. steve

If you find any Java code that does it then I can help you translate it. I don't see anything missing in DJI documentation.

OK Thanks

What is the output of Log(gimbal.RunMethod("getCapabilities", Null)) ?

 

[shb777]

it's so big, i'm gonna have to add code to write it to a file before i can send it to you, but it starts with {ROLL_MOTOR_CONTROL_STRENGTH=dji.common.util.DJIParamMinMaxCapability@227c26b,YAW_LEFT_ENDPOINT=dji.common.util ...

 

[Erel]

You can convert the object to a B4A map with: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...java-util-map-to-a-b4a-map.70214/#post-445846

 

[shb777]

why would i want to convert it to a map?

 

[DonManfred]

log(themap) will probably look nicer and better readable

 

[Erel]

For Each key As Object in ThisMap.Keys
 Log(Key & ": " & ThisMap.Get(key))
Next

I can't use log when I'm testing my app, because I have to be connected to the drone, not my computer here's all

this is what dji told me

I said:. the mavic pro can rotate the gimbal in the roll axis. that's how you level the horizon

DJI SDK Support
But our sdk doesn't support the user to rotate the roll on the Mavic pro as a feature.

 

[shb777]

I found out the Litchi program allows the user to do this. Just press the C2 button, and rotate the right dial. I tested it, and it works. So it must be in the SDK. I sent this to the dji support forum.
