If both local position and altitude were not valid, then both RC loss and
datalink loss would not trigger any failsafe at all, independently from
the configured action.
Calculating K(HP) takes less operations than (KH)P because K and H are
vectors.
Without considering the sparsity optimization:
- KH (24*24 operations) is then a 24x24 matrix an it takes
24^3 operations to multiply it with P. Total: 14400 op
- HP (24*(24+24-1) operations) is a row vector
and it takes 24 operations to left-multiply it by K. Total:1152 op
when the vertical pos or vel innov ratio is above the threshold, the
other one needs to be significant too and not just positive to trigger
the failure
- on some H7 boards (cuav x7pro tested) there's an occasional hard fault when starting the mavlink shell that is no longer reproducible with the slightly expanded locking
- this is likely just changing the timing (holding the sched lock for longer), but this should be harmless for now until we can identify the root cause
Weather vane should only set a yawrate setpoint, but no yaw setpoint.
Setting it to NAN when WV is active makes sure that whatever _yaw_setpoint
is set previously (e.g. through Waypoint) is not used.

- set local home using global pos and global home
- set local home using GNSS pos and global home
- set global home using global ref of local frame and local home
This is to make clear that the relevant part of the home position
message for navigator is the global one. Local home position isn't
required as everything is done in global coordinates.
The specific home_alt_valid is used when lat/lon are not used
- always try to set local or global home position when possible
- set global home with GNSS position if global pos from EKF isn't
available
- reset home when significantly moved from home before takeoff (checking
lpos or gpos or GNSS)
- reset home on takeoff transition
- reset home on mavlink arm command
- remove "home required accuracy" parameters, rely on validity flags
- most px4_io-v2 boards have a blue LED that breathes for status
- the pixhawk 2.1 (hex) re-used this blue LED for as an IMU heater (active low), but kept the same board id (so we have to detect at runtime)
- the new cubepilot boards (yellow, orange) inverted the polarity of this heater pin
- untangle the mess slightly so that things we know statically (eg cubepilot cubeorange LEDs and heater polarity) are handled at build time.
To pass from invalid to valid:
- time hysteresis
- some vertical velocity
- test ratio < 1
- low-passed signed test ratio < 1
To pass from valid to invalid:
- low-passed signed test ratio >= 1
At each new valid range measurement, the time derivative of the distance
to the ground is computed and compared with the estimated velocity.
The average of a normalized innovation squared statistic check is used
to detect a bias in the derivative of distance measurement,
indicating that the distance measurements are kinematically inconsistent
with the filter.
