This was only used for supporting APM1. The removal was mostly automatic
with:
sed -i 's/pgm_read_byte(&_motor_to_channel_map\[\([^]]*\)\])/\1/g' libraries/AP_Motors/*.cpp
sed -i 's/_motor_to_channel_map\[\([^]]*\)\]/\1/g' libraries/AP_Motors/*.cpp
And then remove references to MOTOR_TO_CHANNEL_MAP and
_motor_to_channel_map and make sure the variable used in shifts is
unsigned
This method is not used anymore since the introduction of channel map and
allowing motors to be enabled/disabled in AP_Motors.
Later we may introduce a method to write multiple values with a default
implementation that supports the channel and enable maps rather than
requiring all subclasses to implement this method.
This is the only place where this variant of RCOutput::write() is
called. Remove it so to use the common interface. It can be added back
later when there's support for asynchronous write.
Now that most places in the code use the ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of
coding it by hand, let's use some type safety in its definition. This is
a C++ version of similar macros used in kmod, Linux kernel and the
source of them, ccan.
A C++ version like this is used in V8 (the JS engine) and other open
source projects.
The main benefit of this version is that you get a compile error if you
pass in a variable that's not an array. For example,
Bla y[10];
Bla *y_ptr = y;
void foo(Bla x[])
{
// build error since x[] decay to a pointer in function
// parameter
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(x); i++) {
...
}
// build error since y_ptr is not an array
for (int i = 0; i < ARRAY_SIZE(y_ptr); i++) {
...
}
}
I added the additional specialization to allow arrays of size 0.
when using an external tail gyro on a flybar heli the stick input
should be directly passed to output. This patch fixes the use of
deadzone in that passthrough.
It also makes the tail handling consistent with roll and pitch
handling, by not using ACRO_YAW_P when in tail pass-through.
Finally it also fixes deadzone handling for roll and pitch, and
removes the unnecessary get_pilot_desired_yaw_rate() that has a
different prototype from the one used in the rest of the code
