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
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)
Having the version macro in the config.h and consequently in the main
vehicle header means that whenever the version changes we need to
compiler the whole vehicle again. This would not be so bad if we weren't
also appending the git hash in the version. In this case, whenever we
commit to the repository we would need to recompile everything.
Move to a separate header that is include only by its users. Then
instead of compiling everything we will compile just a few files.
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.

A later patch will remove the unused functions in the Schedulers.
Global revision of message severity values.
Required also change to the low priority function gcs_send_text_fmt()
on GCS_Mavlink.cpp to disable the automatic setting of priority on
messages sent by this function
