Aircontrol time of Day API

Time of Day

Aircontrol allow to control sun position. By controlling the sun position Day and night scenarios can be generated.

Python API

Python API has a set_TOD function to set the time of day properties. set_TOD function takes the following arguments: - IsActive (bool, optional): Active if set to True. Internal effective compute mechanism. Defaults to False. - SunLatitude (float, optional): Controls sun Latitude. Defaults to -826.39. - SunLongitude (float, optional): Controls sun Longitude. Defaults to -1605.4. - Hour (int, optional): Set Hour. Defaults to 10. - Minute (int, optional): Set Minutes. Defaults to 5.

from airctrl import environment
from airctrl import sample_generator
from airctrl.utils import unity
from airctrl import sample_generator
port=8999
sample = sample_generator.samples()

Use Launch() class from unity subpackage to create and object

env =  environment.Trigger()
L = unity.Launch()

Now call method .get_connected(port=<Default 8053>) to get connected


Use function launch_executable() to launch an environment. launch_executable() takes path where the executable is located. Use suitable path according to OS.

process = L.launch_executable("/home/supatel/Games/AirControl_2021/Build/1.3.0/Linux/v1.3.0-AirControl.x86_64", server_port=port)
env.get_connected(port=port)
