The Distance Home Widget is a Text type of Base Telemetry Widget. It shows the distance between the current location of the aircraft and its home location.

The states of the widget are the following:

State Image
Disconnected
Metric Unit System
Imperial Unit System

Usage

If creating the distance home 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 DUXBetaDistanceHomeWidget. 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.

Swift Example

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

Objective-C Example

distanceHomeWidget.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
distanceHomeWidget.labelTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];

Hooks

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

    • public static func productConnected(_ isConnected: Bool) -> DistanceHomeModelState - Event when the product is connected or disconnected.
