the previous approach assumed a 1:1 mapping between compass backends
and compass instances, which isn't true on PX4.
It also only setup milligauss offsets on a set_and_save call, which is
not the only way offsets change
this adds a milligauss_ratio per instance, which is considerably
simpler
Due to the description string getting to long HDop was renamed as EPH with VDop as EPV (Which is the same terimnology used to describe the MAVLink side). Status was shortened to stat as well.
AK8963 is configured in 16-bit ADC mode which implies sensitivity of 0.15 uT/LSb. Knowing this fact we can convert the measurements to the proper units. The change will make users recalibrate their compasses.
From now on there's a pair get_field_milligauss() and
get_offsets_milligauss() that can make the transition to the common
units across all compasses easier.
compile time optimization
Functions like sq() are better moved to the header file as inline.
Compiler can then optimize these out when used in code, this saves cpu
cycles with stack push, pop during function calls.
- add get_prev_nav_cmd_with_wp_index(). This is different than get_prev_nav_cmd_index() in that it only stores the index if there is a valid lat/lng (+1 squashed commits)
- added mission item command to NAV_LAND which is the abort takeoff altitude. If 0 then use last takeoff if available, else use 50m
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.

Also fix bug in do-mount-control so that do-mount-control can switch mount into retract mode
Also removes ability to set which axis are stabilized through

It's possible to use the internal clock in PCA96895 if we account for
the drift it contains. This is a bit different from solutions in other
projects like the Adafruit library and the PX4 firmware: instead of
applying a correction to the final frequency we apply the correction to
the clock since this is the source of the error.
With this fix we arrived to much better results across different lots of
sensors.
The Navio board continues to use the external clock and should have no
difference behavior.
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.
increase iterations to get good results from LM
better check for convergence, comparison with initial fitness is a better way to determine if convergence occurs, if fitness has not improved compared to initial fitness it means optimiser has failed.
If we have an error in the SPI or I2C transaction we should not change
the state. Otherwise we might read a temperature when the sensor is
reporting pressure and vice-versa.
irlock_center_x_pos calculates the lateral x position of the marker in cm. relative to the quad
irlock_x_pos_to_latlon rotates the frame based x position to latitude/longtitude based coordinates
same case for the y position

get_angle_to_target replaces pixel to position calculations
Also removed ahrs reference (now in AC_PrecLand lib), unused references
to orb and commented out parameter declaration
reduce max objects to 5
remove ahrs reference
add timeout
return true if new sample found
bug fix get_angle_to_target
remove unused get_frame
* 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.
Like was done to inertial AK8963 and inertial sensor move the decision
regarding the I2C bus to the caller. We don't allow changing the address
because apparently HMC5843 doesn't support different addresses.
Changing only the bus could be more easily done but this prepares the
ground for using HMC5843 on an AuxiliarBus.
The need for a more generic abstraction is evidenced by this commit: a
"SerialBus" in AP_HAL would be a nice addition rather than letting each
driver to provide its own. However the methods are a little bit
different from what we have in AK8963. It's safer to do the simple
conversion now and later on to add the abstraction changing everybody to
use it.
read() calls accumulate() which takes the lock by itself so we must
release it like we were doing before 669ae26 ("AP_Compass: encapsulated
calibration in HMC").
Just like was done for inertial sensor, different detect() functions
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.
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.
Now that we have a pre-arm check in place to detect bad lidar, the motion check is unnecessary and can false trigger for copters with flexible undercarriages or on uneven ground.
This param seems to have been un-implemented. This is putting it back in. Adds a meter offset to the calculated altitude form the baro sensors.
Also changes it from int8 to float
There are implementations for float, Vector2f and Vector3f for the Low
Pass Filter and the *2p filter. I tried to implement these filters
with one common template implementation. This implementation saves
some lines of code and reduced the redundancy. One could save even
more code if the currently overloaded isinf/isnan functions and checks
can be removed.

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
Param 1 denotes which direction the user expects the plane to
travel when changing altitude:
0 = no expectation, command completes when within 5 m of altitude.
1 = climb expected, command completes at or above altitude.
2 = descent expected, command completes at or below altitude.
This method checks for consistency between accelerometer readings and switches to the unit with the lowest vibration of the difference exceeds 0.3g
The threshold of 1.7 m/s/s corresponds to a maximum tilt error of 10 deg assuming one IMU is good, one is bad and the EKF is using the bad IMU.
Now instead of requiring the buffer to fill completely before we can
detect it is not draining, we use a time based mechanism to detect
when none of the first few bytes are transmitted after sitting in our
buffer a half second or more after flow control is enabled. This
huristic is reliable only for the first several chracters because we
believe that the radio must still have plenty of room in it's own
buffers at that time even if it is not able to transmit them to the
other radio yet. Note that the original algorithm made the same
assumption.
The new algorithm is especially helpful for cases where only keepalive
messages are transmitted before other packets can be requested by the
GCS. In this situation, the original code required almost 2 minutes
to disable flow control and allow communication with the GCS.
It was not only standardized, but actually fixed since ".." would not
move to the libraries/ directory (and hence the include location was
actually wrong).
This is really just calculating the hamming weight of the GNSS_MODE bitmask, but I don't know if the APM compiler could handle the GCC intrinsic that could calculate it faster, and this is done so rarely there isn't a significant penalty to using the for loop.
