this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.
This includes:
- manual pin
- heartbeat pin
- waypoint for heartbeat failure
- waypoint for GPS failure
this allows users to adjust the base speed used for scaling roll/pitch
PIDs. This can be used to make PIDs work for both airspeed and
non-airspeed control
this enables MNT_* parameter control of the camera mount code. It also
fixes the conversion of calculated angles between degrees and
integers, and fixes stabilised mount control when yaw control is not
available.
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.
when MANUAL_LEVEL is set to 1, we don't do accelerometer levelling at
startup, and instead used the values saved in the EEPROM. This makes
it easier to do levelling on the bench, or once for a series of
flights for the day
Fixes compatibility for APM2. Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code: We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos. These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere). Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs. The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.
This is useful for switching back to the mode indicated by the control
switch after a failsafe or fence breach. I was just changing modes
each time, but it is far more elegant to have a spring loaded switch
for "I am ready to take control again", rather than continually
changing modes.
This patch will boost the target airspeed as necessary to keep the ground speed above a parameter value - param_min_groundspeed. Airspeed is still limited to FBW-max. Setting min_groundspeed to zero (default) disables the feature.
This commit is somewhat temporary as I have come up with a better scheme and will be modifying this. Just making this commit in case I need to roll back
