_should_stop_file_log is set after disarming: logging continues for 1s
to measure the CPU usage.
During that time, other modules might change params (such as ekf), and
we don't need to have these the log. However currently all modules do
not notify the system when setting params after disarming.
Meaning this patch is not strictly needed, it's more a preventive
measure.
This check is performed for up to 30 seconds after takeoff or until a horizontal speed of 5 m/s has been achieved.
If the vehicle is not landed and the check is active, then the yaw will be declared as failed if the velocity innovations fail for a continuous period of 1 second.
This will cause the local and global position and velocity validity to be latched false to prevent unsafe use of position control modes.
Fix the bug allowing arming without GPS checks passed in the first 20 seconds after gaining GPS lock when COM_ARM_WO_GPS is set to 0
Allow 10 seconds after boot for EKF quality checks to pass before reporting failure to allow EKF to stabilise.
Move GPS quality checking and reporting to after all innovation and bias checks.
Make messages more informative.
Add missing GPS speed accuracy check.
The commander checks use instantaneous values which are vulnerable to false negatives or positives with noisy data or transient faults.
This patch checks the estimators published pre flight check status which is based on persistent checks using filtered data.
Separate the vertical and horizontal checks for use by local position validity reporting
Add checking of yaw using a decaying envelope filter to the horizontal checks.
Publish the check result to estimator_status topic.
This change will force commander into manual reversion mode when an external override device (like PX4IO) overrides the system externally. This is not a functional change on the outputs, as they were in override mode even without this patch. However, this change ensures that the system state is consistent with the output state and also ensures that the pilot and operator has better situational awareness when he / she triggers the manual reversion without realizing it.
Update the model for the standard configuration based on the model from Sensirion and add also an option to do the tube pressure loss correction from Sensirion for other configurations.
The fix_type variable in ubx.cpp may be assigned to 4(DGPS) or 5(Float RTK) or 6(Fixed RTK). So if we use differential gps, the value of the fix_type variable may not be 3. But gps still has 3d data and gps time. So The name of the file should named with gps time.My ublox differential gps fix_type is 5 (Float RTK).
Make it clearer that the gate parameters control innovation consistency checks and that the gate size is specified in standard deviations.
Also make it clear that the EKF2_BARO_GATE also controls the GPS height fusion.
