Alignment DCM
The alignment DCM (Direction Cosine Matrix) is used to represent an alignment offset of Boreas from its standard alignment. A DCM is used rather than Euler angles for accuracy reasons. To convert Euler angles to DCM, use the formula below with angles in radians.
DCM[0][0] = cos(heading) * cos(pitch)
DCM[0][1] = sin(heading) * cos(pitch)
DCM[0][2] = -sin(pitch)
DCM[1][0] = -sin(heading) * cos(roll) + cos(heading) * sin(pitch) * sin(roll)
DCM[1][1] = cos(heading) * cos(roll) + sin(heading) * sin(pitch) * sin(roll)
DCM[1][2] = cos(pitch) * sin(roll)
DCM[2][0] = sin(heading) * sin(roll) + cos(heading) * sin(pitch) * cos(roll)
DCM[2][1] = -cos(heading) * sin(roll) + sin(heading) * sin(pitch) * cos(roll)
DCM[2][2] = cos(pitch) * cos(roll)
