MtbEffector

Executive Summary

This module converts magnetic torque bar dipoles to body torques.

Message Connection Descriptions

The following table lists all the module input and output messages. The module msg connection is set by the user from python. The msg type contains a link to the message structure definition, while the description provides information on what this message is used for.

Module I/O Messages

Msg Variable Name	Msg Type	Description
mtbCmdInMsg	MTBCmdMsgPayload	input msg for commanded Magnetic Torque Bar (MTB) dipole array in the magnetic torque bar frame T
magInMsg	MagneticFieldMsgPayload	input msg for magnetic field data in inertial frame N
mtbParamsInMsg	MTBArrayConfigMsgPayload	input msg for layout of magnetic torque bars
mtbOutMsg	MTBMsgPayload	output message containing net torque produced by the torque bars in body frame B components

User Guide

Note that the MTB input configuration message variable GtMatrix_B must be provided in a row major format.
