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.
throttle_avg_max is the total average throttle level (expressed as a number from 0 to 1) that the motors can safely be raised to in order to maintain attitude control. This level can be higher than the pilot's or autopilot provided throttle level.
Previously passing in a negative throttle_in could result in a negative throttle_avg_max being returned.
Sometimes (like in DataFlash) the size of the ring buffer will be
determined in run time and the object can have size zero until proper
initialization. When this was the case, an underflow in ::get_size would
mess with the initializing algorithm.
Another issue was that the 'new' operator could fail what was not being
handled. Now, we only set the size member after we are sure 'new'
successfully allocated memory.
Constructor allocate '_samples' but there was no destructor to
deallocate it. Also, initializes '_gain' to silence CID 9144 although
'_gain' wasn't being used uninitialized because of ::init().
CID 91424
- causes immediate timeout so all samples were dropped
- now the timeout is current and respects the time-since-last-comms/packet so we can ignore stale packets
- reorder and document members.
- remove tentative of vertical alignement
- like was done for accumulated values, move the calibration
values to a struct
This converts MS56XX to use the thread started by SPI/I2C instead of
using the timer thread. This also fixes a possible starvation of the
main thread:
1) INS driver registers itself to be sampled on timer thread
2) MS56XX registers itself to be sampled on timer thread
3) Main thread waits for a sample from INS with
ins.wait_for_sample()
4) timer thread is waiting on update from MS56XX and consequently
the main thread is waiting on an I2C/SPI transfer
Besides this starvation there's another one due to reuse of the timer
lock in order to pump values from the timer thread to the main thread. A
call to the update() method when we have a sample available would need
to wait on any other driver holding the timer lock.
Now there's a lock just to pass the new values from the bus thread to
the main thread with a very tiny critical region, not waiting on any
bus transfers and/or syscalls.
We aren't going to use all the poller infra for now and we need it's
behavior a little bit different for what we are going to use:
- Do not use any "fair" time for each ready fd since we don't want
to set a timeout
- Allow to set the fd on Pollable after constructing it since we are
likely to embed Pollable inside other structs and just later be
able to open an fd.
- Let caller use the epoll flags directly - this is not in AP_HAL,
so there's no need to abstract them
Add system's polling infrastructure to be notified whenever a
file descriptor is ready to be read from or written to.
Adds a few classes:
* Poller, as an interface to epoll()
* Pollable, as an interface to a file descriptor
Replace the previous not-implemented interface with a set of new methods
that can be resonably implemented:
- register_periodic_callback() now receives a functor returning bool
to easily allow "oneshot" timers
- adjust_periodic_callback() allows the caller to change the timer
for a specific handle. This way drivers like MS5611 can adjust the
timer depending on its state machine: the time to sample
temperature is smaller than the time to get a pressure sample
- add unregister_callback(): since we have an opaque pointer, we
can't tell the user to just delete it in order to unregister the
callback

Make some member variables protected to follow what we do in other
places (and there's no reason to be private).
Move defines to .cpp to reduce their visibility.
