Mo-Sys are camera tracking and robotic tracking systems, this IO connection is an input and output for the tracking data.

There are two different IO-Connections for the F4 protocol from Mo-Sys.

  • UDP – F4 (Mo-Sys)
  • Serial – F4 Serial (Mo-Sys)

Multiple type of maps are available:

  • Star Tracker
  • Axis Position
  • Axis Rotation

These IO also provides Sender and Receiver board nodes.

MoSys Setup

Sender

Name Description
MoSys IP The IP address of the endpoint to send the data to.
Port The port that will be used for sending the data to the endpoint.

Receiver

Name Description
Port This is the port that will receive data from other devices.
Interface This is the IP address of the local network interface (NIC) which should be used for this connection.

MoSys Setup (Serial)

Sender

Name Description
Serial Port Type in the com-port for this connection like: “COM4”

Receiver

Name Description
Serial Port Type in the com-port for this connection like: “COM4”

Maps In

Start Tracker Input

A Map Input, typical used on a Camera object.

Axis Position Input

The F4 protocol is supporting additional linear axis for special needs like rails, crane positions etc.
A single axis can be linked to an object coordinate parameter.

The following axis types are supported:

  • X Coordinate (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker X location parameter)
  • Y Coordinate (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker Z location parameter)
  • Z Coordinate (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker Y location parameter)
  • Dolly Crane Position
  • X String Encoder
  • Y String Encoder
  • Head Y Position
  • Head Z Position

Axis Rotation Input

The F4 protocol is supporting additional angle/rotation axis for special needs like turntables, crane pan etc.
A single axis can be linked to an object coordinate parameter.

The following axis types are supported:

  • Head Pan (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker Pan parameter)
  • Head Tilt (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker Tilt parameter)
  • Crane Pan (Turn)
  • Crane Tilt (Jib)
  • Turntable Rotation
  • Head Roll (Which is equal to the raw StarTracker Roll parameter)

Map Out

To send from a camera object the Mo-Sys F4 protocol.

Nodes

Two maps are available.
One for receiving all parameters, one for sending.
