The Horizontal Velocity Widget is a Text type of Base Telemetry Widget. It shows the horizontal velocity of the aircraft while flying.

The states of the widget are the following:

State Image
Disconnected
Metric Unit System
Imperial Unit System

Usage

If creating the horizontal velocity widget through code it can be added using the convenience method:

- (void)installInViewController:(nullable UIViewController *)viewController

which adds the widget the method is called on, as a subview of the ViewController, that is passed in as an argument. Following this, add constraints to the widget using its widgetSizeHint property to determine width, height and aspect ratio constraints.

If creating the widget through storyboard use the object library to drag a container view controller into the desired view controller like so:

Following this make sure to change the class of the child view controller to be DUXBetaHorizontalVelocityWidget. From here you can create the constraints on the container view using the Telemetry Panel Widget's widgetSizeHint property.

Customizations

The UI elements can be customized to match the style of the user's application. The widget supports all the Text Customizations provided in the Base Telemetry Widget.

State Image
Disconnected
Metric Unit System
Imperial Unit System

Swift Example

horizontalVelocityWidget.backgroundColor = UIColor.white
horizontalVelocityWidget.labelTextColor = UIColor.black
horizontalVelocityWidget.valueTextColor = UIColor.blue
horizontalVelocityWidget.unitTextColor = UIColor.blue

Objective-C Example

horizontalVelocityWidget.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
horizontalVelocityWidget.labelTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
horizontalVelocityWidget.valueTextColor = [UIColor blueColor];
horizontalVelocityWidget.unitTextColor = [UIColor blueColor];

Hooks

The widget provides hooks for the users to add functionality based on the state changes in the widget. The DUXBetaHorizontalVelocityWidget provides the following hooks:

  1. HorizontalVelocityModelState - Provides hooks in events received by the widget from the widget model.
    • public static func productConnected(_ isConnected: Bool) -> HorizontalVelocityModelState - Event when the product is connected or disconnected.
    • public static func horizontalVelocityStateUpdated(_ horizontalVelocityState: HorizontalVelocityState) -> HorizontalVelocityModelState - Event when the horizontal velocity state is updated.
