The implementation before this change had two timeouts, a hard-coded
timeout of 0.5 seconds as well as a by param configurable timeout with
certain failsafe actions set.
This change aims to fix two problems:
1. The hard-coded offboard timeout can be triggered easily with sped up
lockstep simulation. Since i t is hard-coded it can't be adapted to
the speed factor.
2. The offboard signal can time out but no action will be taken just
yet. This means we end up in an in-between stage where no warning or
failsafe action has happened yet, even though certain flags are set
to a timeout state.
This patch aims to fix this by unifying the two timeouts to the existing
configurable param. The convoluted double timeout logic is replaced by a
simple hysteresis.
For anyone that has previously not changed the default timeout param (0),
the param will now be changed to 0.5 seconds which reflects the
previously hardcoded time. For anyone with a specific timeout
configured, the behaviour should remain the same.
Also, going forward, timeouts lower than 0.5 seconds should be possible.
Sometimes in CI for VTOL we saw disarms before the spoolup and ramp were
over and the takeoff would actually happen. By raising the auto-disarm
time we should be able to work around this and get CI less flaky.
Channels belonging to a certain timer were not all grouped together.
This is required by the .first_channel_index and .last_channel_index data
members.
We introduce a new mixer geometry to solve the problem.
* add support for unmanned underwater vehicles:
* airframe uuv_generic + uuv_hippocammpus including mav_type = 12 for submarines
* mixer for UUVs with X-shaped thruster setup similar to quadcopter
* add module uuv_att_control for underwater robot attitude control
* add rc.uuv_defaults/apps for autostarting e.g. ekf2 and uuv_att_control app
- this is a new module for temperature compensation that consolidates the functionality previously handled in the sensors module (calculating runtime thermal corrections) and the events module (online thermal calibration)
- by collecting this functionality into a single module we can optionally disable it on systems where it's not used and save some flash (if disabled at build time) or memory (disabled at run time)
This reverts commit be35c4857be2483050d9a34987aeda3c6935b516.
This would only work for integer math, so for simulation speed-up. For
speeds slower than realtime we need floating point.
- this is one of the last pieces of the system that still depend on DriverFramework
- add new SIM_GPS_NOISE_X parameter for optionally increasing the GPS noise multiplier (was previously a gpssim command line option)
- add SIM_x_BLOCK parameters to block sensor publication
- SIM_GPS_BLOCK
- SIM_ACCEL_BLOCK
- SIM_GYRO_BLOCK
- SIM_MAG_BLOCK
- SIM_BARO_BLOCK
- SIM_DPRES_BLOCK
* parameter and logic to commander for triggering failsafe from external automatic trigger system.
* logic to startup script for enabling ATS. Added uORB publishing to pwm_input module.
* Refactored out CDev usage from pwm_input and ll40ls. Refactored out ll40ls specifics from pwm_input and cleaned up dead code.
This target was never fully supported and is heavily dependent on a number of DriverFramework drivers that have no in tree equivalents (bebop bus, flow, rangefinder, etc). Deleting this will make it easier to fully drop DriverFramework shortly.
When running in HITL mode, pwm_out_sim publishes actuator_outputs.
px4io unconditionally publishes the uOrb actuator_outputs. When HITL
is configured, the px4io copy of the uOrb has all zeros.
The result is that there are two publications, one valid, and one
all-zeros. This causes the HIL_ACTUATOR_CONTROLS mavlink message
to be incorrect (all-zeros) and the SERVO_OUTPUTS_RAW mavlink
message to be inconsistent, as it takes the data from one or the
other uOrb randomly each cycle.
The fix is to let px4io know that HITL is in effect when it is
started, and modify px4io to suppress publication in this case.
This is a bigger more complicated fix than I would like, but I
think it is conceptually correct.
