R2026b

Control the Cannon module connected to a Parrot Mambo minidrone

• 

Cannon block

To add a block to a model, double-click the canvas and start typing the block name. Then, select the block from the list.

Libraries:
Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones

Description

Add-On Required: This feature requires the Simulink Support Package for Parrot Minidrones add-on.

The Cannon block controls the Cannon module that is connected to a Parrot^® Mambo minidrone.

Ports

Input

Port_1 — Input signal to control the Cannon module

1 | 0

The Cannon module fires one ball whenever the input changes from 0 to 1.

If there are multiple input commands to the Cannon block (to fire the balls in succession), the commands are queued and they are executed one after the other.

Tip

You can also use multiple Cannon blocks in the same Simulink model (instead of queuing the commands in one Cannon block) to fire the balls in succession.

Data Types: Boolean

Output

Port_1 — Number of firing commands pending in the queue

scalar integer | -1

The number of firing commands that are pending in the queue while the Cannon module is busy.

An output value of -1 indicates that the Cannon module is not connected to the drone, or the Cannon module is not working.

Data Types: uint8

Programmatic Use: Add Block

To add the block programmatically, use the add_block function with one of these library block paths as the source.

"parrotlib/Cannon"

Example: add_block("parrotlib/Cannon","myModel/myBlock",MakeNameUnique="on")
