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 moves to using a 1p filter on the high rate data, followed by
averaging down to 1kHz then a 2p filter to apply configured cutoff
frequency.
It also fixes the FIFO reset to not cause data corruption. We need to
disable all FIFO channels before doing the reset, and wait for the
FIFO to stop in the sensor.
Finally it moves sampling of the MPU6000 and MPU9250 into the main
thread. That significantly improves scheduling performance as we no
longer get long FIFO SPI transfers happening during other tasks. All
transfers happen at the start of the fast loop. That makes timing much
more predictable.
Thanks to Leonard and Paul for help with this design!
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.

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
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.
Delta angle calculation is now unified, so there is no need for such a method.
That also avoids developers thinking they need that method being called
somewhere in their new drivers.
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.
The delta velocity calculation is now unified, so there is no need for such a
method. That also avoids delevopers thinking they need that method being called
somewhere in their new drivers.
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.
This is a good way of letting each implementation easily calculate vibration
and clipping: all they need to do is publish their sample rate and they don't
need to worry about the call for calculation.
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.
The calibration on LSM9DS0 was giving offsets between 4.0 and 4.2 on x-axis and
around 3.6 on y-axis. It turned out that those offsets were actually right.
The maximum absolute values of calibration offset should be a sensor
characteristic rather than a constant value for all sensors.
The constant value previously used (3.5 m/s/s for all axes) is set here as a
default maximum absolute calibration offset for every instance to keep it
working.
this allows us to detect if accel calibration was done in sensor frame
or not. If it was done in sensor frame then the accel calibration is
independent of AHRS_ORIENTATION, which makes it easier to move a board
to a new airframe without having to recalibrate.
