3D To 2D Orientation

File:TArduino3DTo2DOrientation.png

Summary

Converts a 3D orientation signal into a 2D orientation value.

Description

The **3D To 2D Orientation** component receives a 3D orientation input and translates it into one of four 2D directions (**Go Up**, **Go Right**, **Go Left**, **Go Down**). The initial state is defined by the **Initial Value** property and will be output until the first 3D input update is processed.

This component is useful in: - **Robotics** – mapping 3D orientation data from sensors into planar movement commands. - **Navigation** – simplifying heading data for 2D navigation systems. - **Automation** – translating 3D positioning into discrete directional signals.

Properties

• Initial Value – Sets the starting 2D orientation before any input is received. Options are **Go Up**, **Go Right**, **Go Left**, **Go Down**.

Pins

• In – 3D orientation input signal.
• Out – 2D orientation output signal.
