this makes the HMC5843 use single-shot mode, which makes it more
robust to bus resets. It also adds WHOAMI checking and enables
automatic temperature compensation.
Unfortunately this makes existing calibration values incompatible, so
a re-cal is required. The device ID has been changed to reflect the
driver change.
And to the detection probe() method. That way we don't need to use a board
`#ifdef` inside the class code. Additionally, we make raspilot board use it.
- Capitalize and rename constants
- Make clear what gain is applied in calibration and what is the
"normal" gain
- Make the separation between HMC5883L and HMC5843 explicit when it
makes sense to improve readability
- Remove spurious delay in calibrate function
We still need the BusDriver (in some places called SerialBus) interface
since this driver can also be used on an AuxiliaryBus and that has a
different interface.
Besides the usual conversion some more improvements:
- Use generic function to convert endianness
- Minor cleanups
- Reorder per-board ifdefs in compass instantiation: distinguish when
there's a default compass to when it should probe other compasses
The use of _gain_multiple is not necessary because the values of
expected_{x,yz} and _mag_{x,y,z} are both in sensor raw unit (i.e., lsbs).
That wasn't fixed before in order not to make APM users to recalibrate their
compasses.
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
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.
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.
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.
this changes the calibration code to require at least 5 good reads
from the compass during initialisation. The calibration is taken as
the average of the 5 values.
This also fixes the expected values for the 3 axes for the 5883 to
match reality.
We also save a bit of code space by adding a common rotate_for_5883L()
routine.

this adds error checking to all operations on the compass, to ensure
that we don't accept invalid data
This also fixes the calibration values for the 5883L to match the
recommended values in the spec

Most of the compass functionality is now abstracted in a base class, with the various sub-classes implementing just their unique functionality.
