This doesn't count repeated readings towards the rangefinder count,
and resets the counter if the change is more than 20% of full
range. This greatly reduces the impact of poor sonar sensors for
landing
new param: LAND_ABORT_DEG
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is higher than the intended slope path. Steeper slopes can result in crashes so this allows the option to remember the baro offset and self-abort the landing and come around for a another landing with the correct baro offset applied for a perfect slope. An auto-abort go-around will only happen once, next attempt will not auto-abort again. This operation happens entirely automatically in AUTO mode. This value is the delta degrees threshold to trigger the go-around. Example: if set to 5 deg and the mission planned slope is 15 deg then if the new slope is 21 then it will go-around. Set to 0 to disable. Requires LAND_SLOPE_RCALC > 0.
New param: LAND_SLOPE_RCALC
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is lower than the intended slope path. This value is the threshold of the correction to re-calculate the landing approach slope. Set to zero to keep the original slope all the way down and any detected baro drift will be corrected by pitching/throttling up to snap back to resume the original slope path. Otherwise, when a rangefinder altitude correction exceeds this threshold it will trigger a slope re-calculate to give a shallower slope. This also smoothes out the approach when flying over objects such as trees. Recommend a value of 2m.
default value is 2 (so, enabled by default)
the glide_slope gets calculated every time there's a major event such as mission item change or wp_proportion change so its good to update the flight stage then too because.
also logging stage when stage changes, might as well get an extra data point in there when it's timely
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.
we only accept a lidar if it changes by 5% of its full range, and we
reject a lidar again if the correction between barometric and lidar
range changes by more than 30m
This allows us to cope with faulty lidars which may give a constant
reading
