I have disabled steering disarming for skid steering rovers. Its
perfectly reasonable for a skid steering rover to go hard left on the
spot without any throttle and the user wouldn't want the rover to
disarm during this procedure.
If you disarm from the GCS for a skid steering rover we also ensure
the steering channel is disabled.
GCC 6 has a new warning about misleading indentation:
../../APMrover2/system.cpp: In member function ‘void Rover::set_mode(mode)’:
../../APMrover2/system.cpp:272:5: warning: this ‘if’ clause does not guard... [-Wmisleading-indentation]
if (control_mode == AUTO)
^~
../../APMrover2/system.cpp:275:2: note: ...this statement, but the^Bn latter is misleadingly indented as if it is guarded by the ‘if’
control_mode = mode;
^~~~~~~~~~~~
The issue here is that we are mixing tabs and spaces. Remove tabs and re-indent
the code.
Having the version macro in the config.h and consequently in the main
vehicle header means that whenever the version changes we need to
compiler the whole vehicle again. This would not be so bad if we weren't
also appending the git hash in the version. In this case, whenever we
commit to the repository we would need to recompile everything.
Move to a separate header that is include only by its users. Then
instead of compiling everything we will compile just a few files.
Global revision of message severity values.
Required also change to the low priority function gcs_send_text_fmt()
on GCS_Mavlink.cpp to disable the automatic setting of priority on
messages sent by this function
prog_char and prog_char_t are now the same as char on supported
platforms. So, just change all places that use them and prefer char
instead.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
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.
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
Rover now honours the Param1 setting of a time in seconds for a
NAV_WAYPOINT and the Rover will loiter at that waypoint for that
period of time.
Note that as soon as the Rover reaches that waypoint the loiter timer
will start. If you enter a different mode during this time (HOLD for
instance) the timer resets. If you then switch back to AUTO
mode and the Rover returns to that waypoint it will wait for the
loiter time configured in param1.
This is a safety change. Lets say you have a GCS which is in
followme mode which is really GUIDED mode with continually updated
waypoints. If the user then changes mode with the RC transmitter to
HOLD or anything else then the Rover should STOP listening to the
updated guided mode waypoints. This is how Plane/Copter work.
