The first test makes sure the user can take over when an RTL failsafe was triggered but degraded to a Land.
The second test rules out the easiest fix of removing the condition `_selected_action == selected_action` which causes the problem for test one but is there for a reason.
* added vehicle command and support to remotely activate/deactivate the safety system (#26078)
* added print_status support for prearm safety status
* updated safety button to map to MAV_CMD_DO_SET_SAFETY_SWITCH_STATE = '5300'
* safety switch cmd: fixed incorrect catch-all and added commanded_state variable for easier reading
When operating fully autonomously (i.e., without manual control or a guaranteed link to the ground station), tuning a vehicle can be difficult since the current autotune process requires either RC input or a GCS command. For these scenarios, it it useful to be able to start autotune inside a mission.
The mode executor can run land mode which updates the home position to the landing location. This
can be not the desirable behavior and the home position should stay at the original location.
A flag is added to the configuration overrides to control if the home position is updated or not.
Some modes should only be run within the context of a mode executor and the user should not be able
to select them in the GCS. With this change, the external component registration request can be
used to set if a mode is selectable or not.
* Changed the healthFailure call in the PowerChecks to ensure that no value above the low_error_threshold or below the high_error_threshold is reported in AMC
* fix format
* made _latest_low_failure and _latest_low_failure member variables. Only update them when hystersis state changes from false to true.
* rc_update: remove 1% deadzone for all channels
this should be handled higher level.
* Remove all references to the RC{n}_DZ parameters
Regular expression: RC.{0,2}_DZ

-add new NAVIGATION_STATE_ALTITUDE_VOYAGER
-this mode does require manual control to enter
-but you can disable the manual control loss failsafe to continue
flying in case of manual control loss
-for MC: in throttle and yaw are controlled like in Altitude mode,
the tilt is controlled via integrated rate input (similar to Acro,
but with tilt limit)

In an effort to reduce configuration space.
I've not seen use for this option.
If a pilot flies manually in position mode he has some visual reference of the vehicle and can do better than an autonomous mode without position reference.
Also by now we have nudging in Descend mode so the pilot can still give input and the only difference is it automatically goes down instead of the pilot having to descend by stick to land.
This allows external modes to individually check if they are flagged as
invalid/unresponsive.
Previously this was done only based on whether or not ArmingCheckRequest
was received, which does not work when multiple modes are running.
based on the message timestamp.
Previously it was possible to run into the following case:
- 2 external modes are registered (running inside the same ROS node)
- they time out due to the micro xrce agent being blocked for some reason
- PX4 removes them
- the latest arming check replies still arrive to PX4
- the application restarts
- the first mode gets registered
- PX4 handles the previous arming check reply, and clears
waiting_for_first_response, which reduces the timeout
- the second mode registers and as part of that checks for message
compatibility. This takes ~1s, triggering a timeout of the first mode
There were a number of cases where the state was not correct or not as
desired after disarming, when running an external mode 'MyMission' with
executor:
- run MyMission, which triggers Hold, then Land
- before: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then user switches to RTL
- before: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 0
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then while in Hold mode, low battery failsafe (RTL)
- before: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then stop external mode (terminate the process)
- before: Mode: (mode not available), executor_in_charge: 0
- after: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 0
This case is unchanged:
- run MyMission, then low battery failsafe (RTL)
- before: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
