We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
This is a revert of 7c3b8dceb which tried to start at index 0 of the
array of baudrates, however because of the way last_baud is used
this lead to a GPS always being reported as being 1 index off which
lead to users getting reports of baud rates that their GPS wasn't
configured for
Also renames last_baud to be current_baud as that is how it's
actuallly used and should reduce future confusion
And fixed some tabs/vs space issues around where the last_baud rate
was incremented.
All GPS types will recieve startup up blob config. For
some recievers this will cause them to hang. This commit
only allows sending of blobs if AUTO_CONFIG=1. Fixes#2622
That fixed compilation issues and seems more semantically correct. Using array
of length 0 fails compilation because of -Werror=array-bounds in GCC 6.1.
We actually don't want a flexible array in this union, but rather a way
to access it byte by byte. This fixes the build for gcc >= 6

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.
this makes uBlox use the 3D velocity for ground course and speed,
ensuring we use a consistent value everywhere (so same vector in EKF
as in navigation)
Due to the way the headers are organized a single change in a
AP_GPS backend would trigger a rebuild for most of the files in the
project. Time could be saved by using ccache (since most of the things
didn't change) but we can do better, i.e. re-organize
the headers so we don't have to re-build everything.
This makes internal headers internal and then other libraries only
depend on the AP_GPS.h header.
ERB - Emlid Reach Binary protocol.
That driver designed for communication between Reach
and ArduPilot.
Provided opportunities:
- Detection of the driver
- Parsing of input messages: status of transmitter
and navigation information.
- Inject GPS messages from base
5hz update warnings are only valid if you have a fix, without a fix it adds load
to the GPS without any benefit. Our _5hz time messages are depenend upon GPS fix
time which isn't available yet
The ublox driver will now continuosly poll for the settings from the GPS and correct any that are found to be in correct.
This status is then reported to the arming library as an additional arming check, allowing the user to be sure that the
gps is correctly configured before using it. If a user has a GPS2 configured that is not present they will fail the arming
checks until after they have disabled the second GPS.
2 new parameters were introduced as well:
-GPS_AUTO_CONFIG: Will not request any configuration packets to attempt to change them. (If the packet is recieved then
a update will be sent to it, but in testing this scenario never occured. This is set to 1 or 0 to change the setting.
(Defaults to 1 enabling auto config)
-GPS_GNSS_MODE2: Behaves the same way as GPS_GNSS_MODE but only applies to the second GPS.
GPS drivers are now allowed 2 seconds of non responsiveness before being unloaded
when a NMEA sentence is corrupted we should discard it
completely. This change prevents us considering a set of sentences
that includes corrupted sentences from being seen as new data
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.

Remove the checks for HAL_CPU_CLASS > HAL_CPU_CLASS_16 and
HAL_CPU_CLASS >= HAL_CPU_CLASS_75. Corresponding dead code will be
removed on separate commits.
Most of AP_Progmem is already gone so we can stop including it in most
of the places. The only places that need it are the ones using
pgm_read_*() APIs.
In some cases the header needed to be added in the .cpp since it was
removed from the .h to reduce scope. In those cases the headers were
also reordered.
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.
Instead of requiring every program to specify the HAL related modules,
let the build system do it (in practice everything we compiled depended
on HAL anyway). This allow including only the necessary files in the
compilation.
The switching between different AP_HAL was happening by giving different
definitions of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, and the programs would use it to
instantiate.
A program or library code would have to explicitly include (and depend)
on the concrete implementation of the HAL, even when using it only via
interface.
The proposed change move this dependency to be link time. There is a
AP_HAL::get_HAL() function that is used by the client code. Each
implementation of HAL provides its own definition of this function,
returning the appropriate concrete instance.
Since this replaces the job of AP_HAL_BOARD_DRIVER, the definition was
removed.
The static variables for PX4 and VRBRAIN were named differently to avoid
shadowing the extern symbol 'hal'.
Fixes the issue of three unused variables, two of which were used in a
commented Debug() call.
To keep the convenient debug message (and the variable names for the
data bytes), this patch uncomment the debug call but wrap the variables
and the debug call around an ifdef for the local symbol
gsof_DEBUGGING. So by turning it on, the debug will already be in place.
The Debug() call was modified to actually compile and include the third
variable in the output.
This is really just calculating the hamming weight of the GNSS_MODE bitmask, but I don't know if the APM compiler could handle the GCC intrinsic that could calculate it faster, and this is done so rarely there isn't a significant penalty to using the for loop.
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.
Provides a stable fallback, and can be considered fairly safe from the perspective that it provides a worse value then the hDOP under almost all scenarios.
Ublox 7 and 8 seires use a UBX-CFG-GNSS message to enable satellite constellations. The default value does not enable any additional ones, and any constellations the reciever doesn't report knowing about are not configured.
Remove race condition on sending intial blob to the GPS, it was possible to send a blob that got the GPS configured enough to allow the autodetect to take over (and then some drivers like ublox would not finish sending the blob, which has potential details that the driver might have needed to send)
Limit the delay to checking for NMEA gps to only checking after all the available baud rates have been checked
Since a UBlox will actually report having DGPS (due to SBAS or RTCM data) actually report this as the highest supported mode
Rapid switching between GPS receivers can cause real problems.
Switch if:
1) secondary GPS has 1 more satellite for at least 20 seconds
OR
2) secondary GPS has 2 more satellites for at least 5 seconds
Fixes https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/pull/2320
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
to ensure the GCS knows that we have lost the GPS we need to keep
reporting GPS_RAW_INT messages when the GPS disappears. Sending at 1Hz
should be sufficient
