Add (sender_id, msg_len) in SBRM message
Add index/pages in SBRH/SBRM messages
Change format to integers to avoid GCS string parsing
Decrease data size in SBRH
This commit adds:
- New driver for SBPv2
--- Support Piksi Multi, Swift Navigation's multi-band multi-constellation GPS
--- Proper parsing of SBP flags
--- Instant response to Piksi status changes (no more timeouts)
--- Support for Piksi Multi as a Single-Point-Positioning GPS or only onboard GPS
--- Incorporates horizontal and vertical accuracy estimates, and vdop.
- Updates driver for SBPv0
--- Continue support for previous Piksi
- Dispatches correct driver based on SBP version.

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.
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.
DRIVER FEATURES:
- All logic for RTK vs Normal now lives inside Piksi
- Supports observation uplink through telem radio
- Supports full SBP packet logging
- Reports high-rate green blinking to indicate RTK lock.
- Switchable to accept only Float or Integer RTK locks.
THIS REQUIRES PIKSI FIRMWARE v0.14 OR HIGHER
- Uses Piksi's new Pseudo-Absolute-Positioning mode
- Onboard Piksi must have Pseudo-Absolute mode enabled
- Ground Station Piksi must have a surveyed location in settings
- Ground Station Piksi must send its location to Onboard Piksi.
NEXT STEPS REQUIRED:
- EKF needs to take higher accuracy GPS into account
- EKF needs to take GPS RTK height into account
- GCS needs to support sending SBP observation packets
--- MAVProxy patch forthcoming
This is the SBP driver for Piksi, Lodestar and other forthcoming Swift Navigation GPSes.
This driver currently implements three things:
- Implements a lightweight SBP protocol detection system
- Implements Piksi as a single-point-positioning GPS (same as ublox/others)
- Implements hardware logging of GPS health and baseline messages
Forthcoming iin future updates:
- Need to implement the RTK functionality
