when GPS primary switches we were using a position which had not been
corrected for antenna offset. This was used for calculating the reset
for sensor change.
This fixes that (trivial fix) and also fixes a similar issue on
position reset
when on the ground without a position source we would disable the
innovation gate for the barometer. This meant that a single (or small
number of) really bad baro readings would be fused into the EKF,
causing it to destabilise
Fixes#11903
this forces the EKF origin to the GPS alt on a height datum reset if
we have GPS lock. If we don't do this then the reported AMSL alt will
drift over time away from the GPS alt when we reset while on the
ground
Fix rounding error bug preventing state from updating after initial convergence.
Decouple GPS reference height from published EKf origin height.
Add bitmask parameter to control update and publishing of GPS reference height.
If the GPS receiver selection changes and we are using GPS for height, the
vertical position will be reset to the new GPS height measurement.
correct output observer history when doing a GPS height reset
The EK2_RNG_USE_HGT parameter sets the height (expressed as a percentage of the maximum range of the range finder as set by the RNGFND_MAX_CM parameter) below which the range finder will be used as the primary height source when the vehicle is moving slowly.
When using a height reference other than GPS, the height datum can drift due to air pressure changes if using baro, or due to terrain height changes if using range finder as the primary height source. To ensure that a consistent height datum is available when switching between altitude sources, the WGS-84 height estimate of the EKF's local positi norigin is updated using a
single state Bayes estimator,
If rngfinder or gps height data is lost whilst being used, there will be a fall-back to baro data.
Switching in and out of aiding modes was being performed in more than one place and was using two variables.
The reversion out of GPS mode due to prolonged loss of GPS was not working.
This consolidates the logic and ensures that PV_AidingMode is only changed by the setAidingMode function.
Splits in-flight yaw alignment completed status into separate yaw and magnetic field flags.
Reduce the number of places where decisions to perform a yaw and field reset are made.
Don't perform a reset unless there is is data in the buffer
Don't use 3-axis fusion if the field states still need to be reset.
When starting 3-axis fusion request a reset if not previously performed.
Ensure magnetometer and GPs heading resets are alwasy perfomred with data at teh correct time horizon.
