- Startup was broken due to unnecessary cyclic check probably introduced during transition to work_queues
- Module never used other than on Teal One which had a hacky heater input GPIO, this enables usage on general boards
drivers: heater: reduce verbosity and simplify commandline options
- We prefer the linux way of only reporting errors and staying quiet when everything is functioning as designed
- Most of the commandline options just read out the values of the system parameters, and one can just check the parameter values directly.
sensor_params: make thermal control parameters system parameters
heater_params: make thermal control parameters system parameters
drivers: heater: remove pin control hacks
- px4_arch_configgpio(GPIO_HEATER_OUTPUT) directly inits the heater pin to OFF, and as a PUSHPULL (TTL totem pole) OUTPUT
drivers: heater: set default device ID to 0
and remove the px4_ prefix, except for px4_config.h.

Some of these perf counters were useful during initial development, but realistically aren't needed anymore, some are redundant when we can now see the average interval from `work_queue status` and some of them simply aren't worth the cost at higher rates.
The documentation of the thrust model parameter `THR_MDL_FAC` did not
mention both thrust and "PWM" being relative values. Also the use of the
term PWM could be misleading, since the model is applicable to CAN ESCs
as well.
This commit rephrases the user documentation string and a few source
code comments, but no logic changes are made.
ClosesPX4/Firmware#13105
* adds a work_queue systemcmd that will bring a tree view of all active work queues and work items
* WorkQueues now track attached WorkItems and will shutdown when the last WorkItem is detached
Script to update include paths:
for i in $(grep -rl 'include <px4_work_queue' src platforms); do sed -i 's/#include <px4_work_queue/#include <px4_platform_common\/px4_work_queue/' $i; done
This new airspeed module does:
-runns an airspeed validator for every airspeed sensor present, which checks measurement validity and estimates an airspeed scale
-selects another airspeed sensor if for the current one a failure is detected
-estimates airspeed with groundspeed-windspeed if no valid airspeed sensor is present
-outputs airspeed_validated topic

* This fix is necessary because usually uORB structs get initialized with
all zeros and then get filled with the fields that are actually in use.
* The number 0 for the mode slot was already commanding to switch to the
mode in slot one even though for example the joystick input via mavlink
does not use this mechanism at all.
A low gyro cutoff is needed for most medium/large size drones as the structural natural and blade-pass frequencies are low.
A higher value is still desirable for small platforms surch as racers
or well isolated autopilots and should be tuned by the user.
Specific values for config files are untouched.
The cutoff filter for the D term is disabled here as the required
cutoff frequency for the default D term of the rate controller is higher
than the gyro cutoff. In that case, enabling the D term cutoff would
just add some undesired phase lag to the derivative.
By using the uORB::Subscription API we use a separate subscription
rather than `orb_copy` on the existing file descriptor used in
sensors through `px4_poll`.
This fixes a very peculiar problem that we observed in SITL in CI for
fixedwing. The events were as follows:
1. `sensors` does `px4_poll` on the gyro topic (as normal), and gets
the latest sample using `orb_copy`.
2. A parameter update happens when the mag is initialized and triggers
`VotedSensorsUpdate::parameters_update()` where `orb_copy` happens
before the main loop in `sensors` has started a `px4_poll`.
3. `sensors` now does the `px4_poll`, however waits indefinitely because
it has already copied the latest sample.
Also, the `px4_poll` will never time out because in lockstep the
simulator waits for the next actuator control message which it never
gets and therefore it never sends the next sensor message with a new
timestamp to advance the time.
This only happens for fixedwing because there is only one "uORB path"
through the system unlike for multicopter where a gyro sample can get
picked up by either `sensors` or directly `mc_att_control`, so the
system can survive if `sensors` has "drops".
