MavLink spec implementation
implemented vehicle_roi topic
rename old gimbal to rc_gimbal
little changes
corrected RC Gimbal group
Starting ROI implementation in commander
implementation done, needs to be tested
uhm..
add todo
Change to float32 for x,y and z
remove mission topic again, not needed
change roi coordinates to lat, lon and alt
adjust to float64
starting mount implementation
correcting small mistakes, compiles now
add todos
further progress
implementing parameters
adjust default parameters
started implementation of mavlink
fix typo
change to lat, lon and alt
fix typo :D
change to double (to represent float64)
add global_position_
add mount topic
commander mount implementation done
cleanup
almost finished
little fix
codestyle fixes
leave pitch at 0 degrees
added pitch calculation
codestyle changes
Undo vehicle_mount, react to updated parameters, parsing of CMD_DO_MOUNT_* in mount.cpp
start implementing mode override
forgot a semikolon.
add debug
Finish implementation of mount override and manual control.
fix codestyle
correct cleanup
rename to vmount
works now
fix rebase error
fix polling
refactoring and custom airframe for gimbal
couple changes
remove warnx
almost done
finally
What is going on?
change back to actuator_controls_2
working
bump parameter version number and some clarification
fix submodules
- ulog file message rate limited to 50Hz
- queuing with size 2
- this replaces the mavlink log message in the ulog
(but the mavlink warnings & errors still go to the ulog)
Reason: the value is easier to read & handle (for example plotting). In
most places the value is needed, not the integral.
Note that this breaks the replay format for sdlog2 replay
- voting is now at a central place instead of duplicated within the
estimators
-> this also means that estimators that did not do voting so far,
now have voting, like ekf2
- estimators requiring more than that can still subscribe to the raw
sensors
- allows sensors_combined to be 3 times smaller
- reduces logger, memcpy (cache) & RAM overhead
- all modules requiring only 1 or 2 sensor values now automatically get
the voted result
- this also adds voting to baro
Decreases the message size from 780 to 280 bytes.
In particular, all modules using sensor_combined must use the integral now.
The sensor value can easily be reconstructed by dividing with dt.
Voters now need to be moved into sensors module, because error count and
priority is removed from the topic.
Any module that requires additional data from a sensor can subscribe to
the raw sensor topics.
At two places, values are set to zero instead of subscribing to the raw
sensors (with the assumption that no one reads them):
- mavlink mavlink_highres_imu_t::abs_pressure
- sdlog2: sensor temperatures
These are not really used. differential_pressure is just copied from the
topic with the same name.
for sdlog2 we assume no one needs the diff pressure fields and set it to 0.
We plan to switch to the new logger soon anyway.
Drawbacks of the previous method: when writing to the SD card, there are
high delays in the write() call of several 100ms, every now and then. The
frequency and length of these events depend on:
- SD card
- used logger bandwidth
- bandwidth of gps data (RTCM)
Since the whole gps thread was blocked during this period, it lead to
gps timeouts and lost module.
What we do now is: publish an orb topic with queuing. This makes it async
and the logger takes care of buffering. This means it's best to:
- use high logger rate
- use large logger buffer
- reduce logger bandwith by disabling unused topics
Instead we use o_name to get the topic name. Now the topic names are not
upper case anymore in the log format. This makes it more consistent, eg.
if used as a nested topic
This is required for the logger, we just manually add the padding bytes
what would otherwise be done by the compiler. Additionally we reorder
the fields by type, so that padding is only necessary for nested types.
