Adds slew time limiting for throttling up and throttling down to multicopters. New parameters MOT_SLEW_UP_TIME and MOT_SLEW_DN_TIME added. 0 = disabled, no slew limiting. Valid values are 0 to 0.5 seconds. Also reworked functions related to linearization and PWM conversion to make more flexible throughout the code.
AP_MOTORS_x_FRAME definitions moved to motor_frame_type enum
init function and now accepts frame-class and type to perform initial motor setup
set_frame_class_and_type allows real-time changing of motor setup
initialised_ok flag and accessor records whether setup was successful
AC_AttitudeControl now calculates throttle vs attitude control
prioritisation and simply provides overall maximum throttle (aka
throttle_avg) to the motors library
These parameters allow the motor PWM output range to be different from receiver's throttle input range
Also renamed throttle_pass_through to set_throttle_passthrough_for_esc_calibration and change the method's input to the 0 to 1 range instead of direct PWM value
The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.
Changes generated with:
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/\([^_[:alnum:]]\)max(/\1MAX(/g'
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/\([^_[:alnum:]]\)min(/\1MIN(/g'
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.
Surround calls to rcout->write() with rcout->cork() and rcout->push().
If the RCOutput implementation allows the writes are grouped and only
sent together to the underlying hardware.
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.
