we were getting some uninitialised variables. While it only showed up in
AP_SbusOut, it means we can't be sure it won't happen on other objects,
so safest to remove the approach
Thanks to assistance from Lucas, Peter and Francisco
FIFO sensors produce data at a well known rate, but samples come in
bunches, so we can't use the system clock to calculate deltaT.
non-FIFO sensors produce data when we sample them, but that rate is
less regular due to timing jitter.
For FIFO sensors this changes makes us use a learned sample rate,
which allows for different clock speeds on sensor and system board.
For non-FIFO sensors we use the system clock to measure deltaT
the overall effect is a fix for sensors that produce samples at other
than the claimed datasheet rate.
this allows enable/disable of fast sampling per IMU, making
experimentation easier.
It also fixes the fast sampling to always average over 8 samples, and
fixes the 9250 to use the correct accumulator when not doing fast
sampling
This allows each sensor to be uniquely identified in the system by using
either the index inside the backend or for those that use the Device
interface, to use the bus type, location, and device id.
We leave 16-bit for each sensor to be able to change its own
identification in future, which allows them to be changed in an
incompatible manner forcing a re-calibration.
When we are initializing the gyro and then saving the calibration we are
also saving the calibration values for the accelerometers. Right now
this is non-problematic, but we want to check that the ID of the
accelerometer corresponds to the ID of the sensor detected. If we also
save accel calibrations we would actually override the ID of the
accelerometer.
Rename the method to _save_gyro_calibration() and save only on gyro
values.
We only leave the parameter there for backward-compatibility. However
product id on the inertial sensor is not much useful since it's only
kept for the first instance.
A better implementation per-gyro and per-accel is needed in order to
avoid problems with sensors taking the offsets configured for another
sensor.

Due to the way the headers are organized changing a single change in an
inertial sensor driver 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.
With this patch only AP_InertialSensor/AP_InertialSensor.h is exposed to
most users. There are some corner cases to integrate with some example
code, but most of the places now depend only on this header and this
header doesn't depend on the specific backends.
Now changing a single header, e.g. AP_InertialSensor_L3G4200D.h triggers
a rebuild only of these files:

This is not used by any board and has a lot of commented out code. For
example, the compass is not enabled. The comment in the beginning of
the driver says it should serve as an example, but we should rather use
a working driver as an example. If this was at least a bit simpler and
that worked in the past we could refactor it to the new I2CDevice API.
This is not the case.
new functions that get a filtered min/max accel peaks on each axis with fixed 500ms timeout:
Vector3f get_accel_peak_hold_pos()
Vector3f get_accel_peak_hold_neg()
This allows slower mechanisms, such as is_flying, to detect accel spikes which would indicate ground or object impacts. Vibe is too filtered. Independent positive and negative peaks are available
This method will be used to initialize and configure I2C backends that
have an auxiliary I2C bus that can be connected to the main I2C bus,
like MPU6000 and MPU9250.
In order to avoid confusion between sample rate from sensor and sample rate
from the frontend class (AP_InertialSensor), use "raw sample rate" to refer to
the former.
The changes in the code were basically done with the following commands:
git grep -wl _accel_sample_rates | xargs sed -i "s,\<_accel_sample_rates\>,_accel_raw_sample_rates,g"
git grep -wl _set_accel_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_set_accel_sample_rate\>,_set_accel_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _accel_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_accel_sample_rate\>,_accel_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _gyro_sample_rates | xargs sed -i "s,\<_gyro_sample_rates\>,_gyro_raw_sample_rates,g"
git grep -wl _set_gyro_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_set_gyro_sample_rate\>,_set_gyro_raw_sample_rate,g"
git grep -wl _gyro_sample_rate | xargs sed -i "s,\<_gyro_sample_rate\>,_gyro_raw_sample_rate,g"
And also with minor changes on indentation and comments.
This commit basically moves delta angle calculation that was previously done in
AP_InertialSensor_PX4 to a common place. Instances must publish their gyro raw
sample rate to enable delta angle calculation.
This commit basically moves delta velocity calculation that was previously done
in AP_InertialSensor_PX4 to a common place. Instances must publish their accel
raw sample rate to enable delta velocity calculation.
We don't support HAL_CPU_CLASS <= HAL_CPU_CLASS_16 anymore. This makes
INS_MAX_INSTANCES, INS_MAX_BACKENDS and INS_VIBRATION_CHECK constant for
all supported boards.
