- in practice this is mostly useful for identifying incorrect rotations
which we mostly have in 45 degree increments
- handling a vehicle on the ground can easily disturb one mag by more than 30 degrees, so this is often distracting noise
- added support for BQ40Z80 based battery
- added performance counter for interface errors
- added SMART_BATTERY_INFO mavlink message
- general code cleanups and optimization
- fixed: void flooding the log in case of interface error
- fixed: using _batt_startup_capacity instead of _batt_capacity for discharged_mah
- update: read manufacture_date
- update: get _cell_count from parameter and not const 4
- update: avoid re-reading data that has already been read and stored on class already
- currently the battery type defined by BAT_SMBUS_MODEL parameter and not by auto detection
- new intrusive linked list container (c++ template) that sorts on insertion
- primarily for convenience inspecting things in the system like uORB or WorkQueues
- uorb status or top sorted alphabetically
- work_queue status threads sorted by priority, then items sorted alphabetically within each
- track and publish validity based on hover thrust variance, innovation test ratio, and hysteresis
- only publish on actual updates or becoming inactive
- fix dt (previous timestamp wasn't being saved)
- use local position timestamp (corresponding) to accel data rather than current time to avoid unnecessary timing jitter
- check local position validity before using
- mc_hover_thrust_estimator: move from wq:lp_default -> wq:nav_and_controllers to ensure the hover thrust estimator runs after the position controller and uses the same vehicle_local_position data
- land_detector: check hover thrust estimate validity and adjust low throttle thresholds if hover thrust is available
- mc_pos_control: only use hover thrust estimate if valid
- if "landed" and "maybe_landed" states are false then both the "hit_ground" and the "low_thrust" condition need to be true in order to detect landing
- ground contact MC NAN setpoint workaround
- ground contact additionally check acceleration setpoint
- schedule with vehicle_local_position updates (most updates require valid local position)
- don't allow LNDMC_Z_VEL_MAX to exceed MPC_LAND_SPEED
- ground contact horizontal movement checks default to failed if estimates aren't available
- always check system field for validity
- reject any data outside of "servo position" valid range from Spektrum specification
- properly support XPlus channels (12+)
- debug message if channel count changes
