move throttle_slew_limit and THR_SLEWRATE parameter
move have_skid_steering to library
move mix_skid_steering to library's output_skid_steering method
move radio.cpp's output channel initialisation to motor's init method
use motors.get_throttle and get_steering instead of getting from Servo objects
use motors.set_throttle and set_steering instead of setting to Servo object
AP_Arming::arming_required is replaced with SAFE_DISARM parameter
Rover now accepts a new message MAV_CMD_NAV_SET_YAW_SPEED
which has an angle in centidegrees and a speed scale and the rover
will drive based on these inputs.
The new function can deal with a variable number of function parameters.
Additionally, I renamed the functions to norm(), because this is the
standard name used in several other projects.
Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to get and set functionsss
old public member(int16_t) get function -> int16_t set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in c.get_radio_in() c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in c.get_control_in() c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out c.get_servo_out() c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out c.get_pwm_out() // use existing
c.radio_out c.get_radio_out() c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max c.get_radio_max() c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min c.get_radio_min() c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim c.get_radio_trim() c.set_radio_trim(v);
c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured
Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality
new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);
new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;
Rename functions
RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)
RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
Rationale:
RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
to grep all places where private variable is set by
searching for the set_xx function.
(The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
included update_trigger function
added camera trigger precise time mark
detect camera feedback pin status
added support for TRIGGER MSG
corrected according to defines.h
Instead of going through 'hal' then 'scheduler', use directly the AP_HAL
functions. Besides removing indirection that is not necessary for such
functions, this patch ends up reducing the code size in the call sites.
For example, building ArduCopter for PX4 with this change (compared to
before introduction of the functions) yields almost 3k bytes of code
size.
# ArduCopter build before the functions (1b29a1af46)
text data bss dec hex filename
895264 2812 62732 960808 ea928 /.../px4fmu-v2_APM.build/firmware.elf
# ArduCopter build after this patch
text data bss dec hex filename
892264 2812 62732 957808 e9d70 /.../px4fmu-v2_APM.build/firmware.elf
A later patch will remove the unused functions in the Schedulers.
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.
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
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'.
* Retains ability to read from Analog Pin
* Adds ability to read RSSI from PWM channel value as is done in OpenLRSng, EazyUHF, and various other LRS.
* Handles any type of RSSI that provides RSSI values inverted - i.e. when the low value is the best signal and the high value is the worst signal.
* Has different key names from all existing RSSI parameters to provide for a clean break and easier distinguishing.
* Existing parameters are marked as obsolete
When the rover goes into guided mode it sets the current location as
the guided point to goto. If the rover is stationary when this
happens no problem. If however the rover is still rolling (say going
from AUTO to GUIDED) then the rover would go past its guided position
and get confused and begin to circle it. This change resolves that issue.
As the previous commit as doubled the number of reads required to
confirm that the mode change switch has been changed this means it
will halve the speed it changes at. So we double the rate at which we
read it to keep things consistent.
