We use the auto_yaw_mode in auto and guided modes to allow various yaw behaviours
This commit adds a new AUTO_YAW_RATE control to the mode and uses it within guided mode.
This new RATE control is not currently used within auto mode because there is no way (yet) for a mission command to specify a desired rate.
In practice this has no functional impact because the guided_pos_control_start initialises these values (using AC_WPNav) and it is not currently possible for a user to get to the velocity controller without having first used the guided position controller
This adds AC_AVOID_ENABLED; avoidance must be disabled if either
of fence or proximity are disabled.
Parameter definitions have been reordered to avoid compiler warnings;
this make sthe numbering non-linear
Previously we always reset the altitude target to the current altitude but this causes a jump if the vehicle is already in an alt-hold flight mode but has an altitude error
this adds TKOFF_NAV_ALT which controls the altitude above takeoff that
navigation can begin. It is meant for unstable vehicles such as helis
to prevent blade strike during initial takeoff.
This also adds a new parameter class ParametersG2 which can hold 64
parameters. This is to avoid running out of parameters in the first
256 block
Previously we had _smooth and non-smooth methods in the attitude
controller but as part of the move to quaternions these have been replaced
by a single call which always takes a smoothing gain
guided altitude targets are converted to alt-above-home
remove unnecessary fence_status local variable from guided_set_destination methods
log failures to set guided target under a new failure code: ERROR_CODE_DEST_OUTSIDE_FENCE (5)
rename pv_get_home_destination_distance_mc to pv_distance_to_home_cm
The new function can deal with a variable number of function parameters.
Additionally, I renamed the functions to norm(), because this is the
standard name used in several other projects.
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)
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.
