we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach
Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco
There is confusion over which pins to use with the pixhawk 2, updated documentation to explicitly state the PM1 pins as being the same as the original pixhawk
this is useful for aircraft with very low C batteries, to prevent a low
voltage failsafe on takeoff. For long endurance aircraft low C batteries
are often used, and the voltage sags a lot on takeoff, but it fine for
the rest of the flight
Every backend stored a instance reference, which wasn't used in most locations
which is redundant given that the state already tracks the instance for us as
well.
Previously we checked PEC support continuously at 10hz. With this change PEC support (or lack of support) is determined first before we try to read from the battery. Once determined, we do not repeat the checks.
Also simplified logic to determine PEC support based on version (should have no functional effect)
Also renamed get_pec_support to check_pec_support
Also renamed _pec_confirm to _pec_confirmed
Rename class to Solo
Use internal I2C bus
Add capacity, current, button press checking
Only check continuously for voltage if reading fails for more than 5 seconds

We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
This centralized namespace header encourages centralizing things on
umbrella headers that are a pain to maintain. Force each part of
AP_HAL_Linux to include what is used.
While at it, do some whitespace cleanups and minor changes to adhere to
coding style.
Description: If battery wattage (voltage * current) exceeds this value then the system will reduce max throttle (THR_MAX and TKOFF_THR_MAX) to satisfy this limit. This helps limit high current to low C rated batteries regardless of battery voltage. The max throttle will slowly grow back to THR_MAX (or TKOFF_THR_MAX) if demanding the current max and under the watt max.
Now variables don't have to be declared with PROGMEM anymore, so remove
them. This was automated with:
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/ PROGMEM / /g'
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/PROGMEM//g'
The 2 commands were done so we don't leave behind spurious spaces.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
Instead of requiring every program to specify the HAL related modules,
let the build system do it (in practice everything we compiled depended
on HAL anyway). This allow including only the necessary files in the
compilation.
The switching between different AP_HAL was happening by giving different
definitions of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, and the programs would use it to
instantiate.
A program or library code would have to explicitly include (and depend)
on the concrete implementation of the HAL, even when using it only via
interface.
The proposed change move this dependency to be link time. There is a
AP_HAL::get_HAL() function that is used by the client code. Each
implementation of HAL provides its own definition of this function,
returning the appropriate concrete instance.
Since this replaces the job of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, the definition was
removed.
The static variables for PX4 and VRBRAIN were named differently to avoid
shadowing the extern symbol 'hal'.
Instead of just doing a static cast to the desired class, use a method
named "from". Pros:
- When we have data shared on the parent class, the code is cleaner in
child class when it needs to access this data. Almost all the data
we use in AP_HAL benefits from this
- There's a minimal type checking because now we are using a method
that can only receive the type of the parent class
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
