This is a good way of letting each implementation easily calculate vibration
and clipping: all they need to do is publish their sample rate and they don't
need to worry about the call for calculation.
These changes are for enabling unified accelerometer vibration and clipping
calculation. For that, we need the values "rotated and corrected" before they
are filtered and the calculation must be called as soon as a new sample arrives
as it takes the sample rate into account.
Thus, move code that applies "corrections" to be executed as soon as accel data
arrive and call _publish_accel() passing rotate_and_correct parameter as false.
Also, do the same for gyro so we can keep it consistent.

In order to allow other libraries to use the InertialSensor we need a
way to let them to get the only instance of InertialSensor. The
conventional way to do a singleton would be to let the constructor
private and force it to be instantiated from the get_instance() method.
Here however we just call panic() on the constructor if there's already
an instance alive. This allows us to let the vehicles as is. Later we
can change it so they call the get_instance() method instead.
Add an AuxiliaryBus class that can be derived for specific
implementations in inertial sensor backends. It's an abstract
implementation so other libraries can use the auxiliary bus exported. In
order for this to succeed the backend implementation must split the
initialization of the sensor from the actual sample collecting, like is
done in MPU6000.
When AP_InertialSensor::get_auxiliary_bus() is called it will execute
following steps:
a) Force the backends to be detected if it's the first time it's
being called
b) Find the backend identified by the id
c) call get_auxiliary_bus() on the backend so other libraries can
that AuxiliaryBus to initialize a slave device
Slave devices can be used by calling AuxiliaryBus::request_next_slave()
and are owned by the caller until AuxiliaryBus::register_periodic_read()
is called. From that time on the AuxiliaryBus object takes its ownership.
This way it's possible to do the necessary cleanup later without
introducing refcounts, that we don't have support to.
Between these 2 functions the caller can configure the slave device by
doing its specific initializations by calling the passthrough_*
functions. After the initial configuration and register_periodic_read()
is called only read() can be called.
Identify backend with an id, allowing other libraries to connect to
them. This is different from the _product_id member because it
identifies the sensor, not the board the sensor is in, which is
meaningless for our use case.
This allows backends to have a separate detection and initialization
logic. It doesn't change any backend yet and with the current code
there's no change in behavior either. This only allows
AP_InertialSensor::_detect_backend() to be called earlier so
AP_InertialSensor object can be used by other libraries. If it's not
called, later on AP_InertialSensor::init() will detect and start all
backends.
We were able to read only the block of registers that are part of the
data output from accelerometer/gyroscope. In order to support reading
the external sensors we need support for reading a generic block of
registers.
very strict check that all axis are not vibrating much at all
new param: INS_STILL_THRESH used to be a vibration threshold for different platforms
// @Description: Threshold to tolerate vibration to determine if vehicle is motionless. This depends on the frame type and if there is a constant vibration due to motors before launch or after landing. Total motionless is about 0.05. Suggested values: Planes/rover use 0.1, multirotors use 1, tradHeli uses 5
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.
We were previously leaking the AP_MPU6000_BusDriver if the
~AP_InertialSensor_MPU6000::detect*() failed. In order to avoid the
leak move the repeated code in a single private _detect() member that
receives everything as argument. Then this method takes ownership of the
objects.
By a adding a destructor to AP_InertialSensor_MPU6000 it becomes easier to
free the objects it takes ownership of.
Different detect() function might need different arguments and passing a
pointer to function here is cumbersome. For example, it forces to have a
method like "detect_i2c2" rather than allowing hal.i2c2 to be passed as
parameter.
The methods actually use the enum from AP_HAL::SPIDeviceDriver, so don't
declare a new one. The I2C implementation is empty; if we actually start
to use it we'd better move the bus abstraction to HAL.
