Roll and Pitch

1.Ok well first off, is roll like a barral roll or is it wether its face is facing the ground or the sky. Same thing with pitch.
2.Are the measurements of yaw the same as pitch and roll?(4.7=90 degrees)

1.57 radians is the equivilant of 90 degrees...in order to convert degrees to radians you multiply the degrees with (pi/180).

is that pi over 180 or pi or 180. And why does 4.7 work for 90 deggrees?

radian=degree*(pi/180)

The reason 4.7 works for 90 degrees is because 4.7 divided by 1.57 (90 degrees) is equal to three 90 degree turns. So really you're 90 degrees in the reverse direction

ok, now can someone tell what the pitch and roll do?

Pitch is tilting front to back. Roll is from side to side, like you said--barrel roll.

Now this should be my last question on this stuff. with pitch, a negitave number(-1.57) is pointing the object down,and yaw at 0 faces the top of the window in choord finder and when has 1.57 as an angle it turnes to the left. Is this right?

Just think about it....yaw, pitch, and roll values are just rotation around the x, y, and z axis. I believe they all turn counterclockwise but couldn't tell you for sure without doing the math. Just experiment and if it works then leave it at that

Well I would experiment but Im Mr.Lazy
