rename follow_me_status to follow_target_status
enable follow_target_estimator on skynode
implement the responsiveness parameter:
The responsiveness parameter should behave similarly to the previous
follow-me implementation in navigator. The difference here is that
there are now two separate gains for position and velocity fusion.
The previous implemenation in navigator had no velocity fusion.
Allow follow-me to be flown without RC
SITL tests for follow-me flight task
This includes:
- Testing the setting for the follow-me angle
- Testing that streaming position only or position
and velocity measurements both work
- Testing that RC override works
Most of these tests are done with a simulated model
of a point object that moves on a straight line. So
nothing too spectacular. But it makes the test checks
much easier.
Since the estimator for the target actually checks new
measurements and compares them to old ones, I also added
random gausian noise to the measurements with a fixed seed
for deterministic randomness. So repeated runs produce
exactly the same results over and over.
Half of the angles are still missing in MAVSDK. Need to create
an upstream PR to add center left/right and rear left/right options.
These and the corresponding SITL tests need to be implemented
later.
sitl: Increase position tolerance during follow-me
Astro seems to barely exceed the current tolerance (4.3 !< 4.0)
causing CI to fail. The point of the CI test is not to check
the accuracy of the flight behaviour, but only the fact that the
drone is doing the expected thing. So the exact value of this
tolerance is not really important.
follow-me: gimbal control in follow-me
follow-me: create sub-routines in flight task class
follow-me: use ground-dist for emergency ascent
dist_bottom is only defined when a ground facing distance sensor exist.
It's therefore better to use dist_ground instead, which has the distance
to the home altitude if no distance sensor is available.
As a consequence it will only be possible to use follow-me in a valley
when the drone has a distance sensor.
follow-me: point gimbal to the ground in 2D mode
follow-me: another fuzzy msg handling for the estimator
follow-me: bugfix in acceleration saturation limit
follow-me: parameter for filter delay compensation
mantis: dont use flow for terrain estimation
follow-me: default responsiveness 0.5 -> 0.1
0.5 is way too jerky in real and simulated tests.
flight_task: clarify comments for bottom distance
follow-me: minor comment improvement
follow-me: [debug] log emergency_ascent
follow-me: [debug] log gimbal pitch
follow-me: [debug] status values for follow-me estimator
follow-me: setting for gimbal tracking mode
follow-me: release gimbal control at destruction

[4] is reserved for Flaps, so also having the tilt on it was preventing us from
using flaps on tiltrotors, and other ripple effects.
By using [8] the tilt is separated from all other channels - it requires to increase the size of
actuator_controls by 1 to 9.

This is a bigger refactor of vmount to clean it up and plug some holes
in functionality.
The changes include:
- Fixing/simplifying the test command.
- Changing the dependencies of the input and output classes to just the
parameter list.
- Adding a separate topic to publish gimbal v1 commands to avoid
polluting the vehicle_command topic.
- Removing outdated comments and author lists.
- Extracting the gimbal v2 "in control" notion outside into control_data
rather than only the v2 input.
If we receive gimbal_device_attitude_status by mavlink we should not
re-send it as we are already supposed to be forwarding mavlink traffic
from the gimbal to the ground station.
- move vehicle at reset detection ekf2 -> land_detector
- ekf_unit: reduce init period
- Fake fusion is when at rest is quite strong and makes the variance reduce rapidly. Reduce the amount of time we wait before checking if the variances are still large enough.
- ekf_unit: reduce minimum vel/pos variance required after init
- Fake pos fusion has a low observation noise, making the vel/pos variances reduce quickly.

The existing implementation has about 100ms difference to a reference clock. With the changes this error less than 25us.
- Use sensor_gps messages with hrt timestamps as RTC reference and not the system realtime clock. The PPS interrupt can then be aligned with the GPS clock system.
- Keep fallback based on system RTC when no PPS pulse was captured
- camera_trigger module always publishes the camera_trigger msg (independent of the camera feedback)
- Use camera_trigger msg and set the feedback flag
- Subscribing modules determine if the message is relevant based on the feedback message
CA: fix saturation computation
Since the CA matrix is normalized, the same scale applied to be used when using the effectiveness matrix
MCRateControl: use control_allocator_status to get saturation info
The arming button required some refactoring in order to support to
toggle arm/disarm using the vehicle_command. Otherwise manual_control
would have to subscribe to the arming topic and we would spread out the
logic again, and risk race conditions.
This is an intermediate solution to carry forward the initial state of
the mode slot. Basically, it allows that we start up in Stabilized but
switch to POSCTL as soon we have the required GPS.
This adds a selector class with unit tests.
The idea is to have a valid flag in manual_control_septoint and set that
according to the selection and/or timeout of manual_control_inputs.

Using mixers on the IO side had a remote benefit of being able to
override all control surfaces with a radio remote on a fixed wing.
This ended up not being used that much and since the original design
10 years ago (2011) we have been able to convince ourselves that the
overall system stability is at a level where this marginal benefit,
which is not present on multicopters, is not worth the hazzle.

1. The RTPS IDs are now automatically assigned to the topics
2. Only the topics that get defined to be sent or received in the urtps_bridge_topics.yaml (renamed, since now it doesn't contain IDs) receive the IDs
3. Any addition or removal on the urtps_bridge_topics.yaml file might update the topic IDs - this will require that the agent and the client ID list has to be in sync. This will further require a robustification of the way we check the IDs and the message definitions when starting the bridge.
This allows that all messages (not only timesync messages) that get received on the same system that sent them do not get parsed. As the microRTPS agent is built currently, this will only happen right now if someone sets the same UDP port to send and receive data, or by manually changing the agent topics (which were always autogenerated).
- naming consistency (estimator prefix as "namespace")
- only publish if baro is available and bias is changing as a small logging optimization
- avoid unnecessary copying (get const reference to status directly)
- trivial code style fixes
Only needed for Makefile-based builds:
gmake[3]: *** No rule to make target 'src/modules/flight_mode_manager/FlightTasks_generated.hpp', needed by 'events/px4.json'. Stop.
- sending protocol
- uorb event message & template methods for argument packing
- libevents submodule to send common events and handle json files
- cmake maintains a list of all (PX4) source files for the current build
(PX4 modules + libs), which is used to extract event metadata and
generate a json file
- change default FFT length (1024 -> 512)
- this doubles the update rate because half the number of samples are required for each
- decrease number of peaks (4 -> 3)
- so far 3 seems to be sufficient on most vehicles
- increase median filter window (3 -> 5)
- decrease SNR requirement (likely needs to be configurable)
* commander: send parachute command on termination
This sends the DO_PARACHUTE command to parachute component.
* commander: fix lying comments and printf
* commander: use one flag for termination triggered
This merges the duplicate flags _flight_termination_triggered and
_flight_flight_termination_printed.
* commander: correct variable name
* commander: always send tune with parachute
* commander: fix target_component for parachute cmd
The previous changes were wrong in that all commands were now sent to
the parachute component which doesn't make any sense. Of course only the
parachute command should be sent there.
Instead of only keeping track of the sequence ID of specific "supported"
components, we now keep track of any sysid/compid of an incoming
message. Before this change, unknown components (such as jMAVSim) would
completely screw up the mavlink message stats and create confusion (at
least in my case).
With this change we currently keep track of up to 8 other components.
Once we reach the limit, we will print a warning.
statfs accesses the file-system and can be blocking for an extended period. Since the SD card check is part of the preflight checks in the main thread of commander, it could block its execution and cause various issues. The SD card is only mounted in rcS during boot so the state will not change after the first check.
- rotates accel & gyro FIFO data before publication both to simplify downstream usage (including log review) and fix other issues
- to best handle int16_t data rotations are now either performed with swaps if possible, otherwise promoted to float, rotated using the full rotation matrix, then rounded back to int16_t
- fix sensors/vehicle_angular_velocity filter reset both with proper rotation and new calibration uncorrect helper
- in FIFO case filtering is done before calibration is applied, but we need to handle a possible reset from a completely different sensor (vehicle body angular velocity -> sensor frame uncorrected data)
- fully respect datasheet quality and shutter metrics for mode changes
- use MOTION pin for scheduling if available
- log light mode

mavlink: add missing copyright header, pragma once
mavlink: address review comments
mavlink: handle stream not updated
Our answer does not just depend on whether the stream was found but
whether we actually were able to send out an update.
mavlink: remove outdated comment
vmount: add option for yaw stabilization only
The stabilize flag is used for gimbals which do not have an internal IMU
and need the autopilot's attitude in order to do stabilization. These
gimbals are probably quite rare by now but it makes sense to keep the
functionality given it can e.g. be used by simple servo gimbals for
sensors other than highres cameras.
The stabilize flag can also be re-used for gimbals which are capable of
stabilizing pitch and roll but not absolute yaw (e.g. locked to North).
For such gimbals we can now set the param MNT_DO_STAB to 2.
We still support configuring which axes are stabilized by the
MAVLink command DO_MOUNT_CONFIGURE, however, this is generally not
recommended anymore.

protocol.
vmount: config via ctor instead of duplicate param
vmount: use loop to poll all topics
Otherwise we might give up too soon and miss some data, or run too fast
based on commands that have nothing to do with the gimbal.
