Greetings,

I am currently working with the Skydel SDK and specifically exploring the available plugins, such as the HIL and Position-Observer plugins, which transmit the obtained position data through a specified port.

I have a scenario where I want to send timestamped position data from another driving simulator to Skydel in real-time, and I would like the simulated vehicle in Skydel to follow this incoming data. My questions are as follows:

  1. Is it possible to dynamically update the position of the simulated vehicle in Skydel based on these real-time inputs, or must the trajectory be predefined before running the simulation for the signals to be generated?
  2. If real-time updates are possible, is there a way to synchronize the start of the simulation with the timestamp of the first sample, and then ensure that Skydel waits for each subsequent position sample at a regular frequency to update the vehicle’s position accordingly?

Essentially, I am looking to understand whether Skydel can process continuous position updates from an external source during the simulation, rather than relying on a static, predefined trajectory.

I appreciate your guidance on this matter.

Hello @Zaynab ,

It sounds like you would like to create a Hardware In The Loop (HIL) setup…

Have you tried looking at our documentation on the subject? We have a chapter dedicated to it un the Skydel user manual right here:

Let us know if you have any more questions.
