* PreFlightCheck: remove unused reportFailures flag
* Commander: pull all pre flight checks together on the PreFlightCheck class
* PreFlightCheck: separate checks into their own files
To my knowledge this hil transition function is not used anymore,
however, it makes sending the DO_SET_MODE command unnecessarily complex.
In my opinion the DO_SET_MODE command should only change the mode but
not other things like arming (already removed) and HITL state (this
commit).
Often times, I was seeing the error message "Set SYS_HITL to 1 and
reboot to enable HITL." when using QGC with a vehicle in HITL.
HITL is set via parameter which then has an impact in the startup script
where the CLI argument `-hil` is added to some of the commands that
require it (like commander as well).
We were running pre-arm checks before when not arming, which led to annoying error messages on vehicles that were on the bench or serviced on the ground. Now we really only run them when trying to arm.
Instead of having several bools to each requirement to arm, lets group then
in a byte and use bitmask.
This also add a new arm requirement "arm authorization" that
will be implemented in another patch.
Move into functions.
Reset probation time and recalculate checks if a mode change is demanded to give the operator ability to regain control as soon as possible after nav performance is regained. (+11 squashed commits)
Squashed commits:
[a4bb800] commander: enable pilot to quickly recover from loss of position accuracy
[19e16a0] commander: rework postal probation time
[f96284e] commander: rework bad pos and vel test probation time
[00d5f0c] commander: Allow EKF preflight checks to pass with moving vehicle
Separates the 'is using GPS' and the GPS quality checks.
Uses a reasonable subset of the GPS quality checks which allows checks to pass if the vehicle is moving.
[4cdfb5c] commander: remove unused variable
[349385a] commander: add EKF GPS quality checks to pre-arm checking
Only perform check if GPs checking is activated by parameter setting.
Display fault messages that makes it clear if EKF quality checks are failing or the EKF is not using GPS for another reason. We do not want to confuse this with GPS lock.
[340ae29] commander: make position invalid fail-safe more sticky
Require check to pass for 7 seconds before exiting failsafe. This is required because if GPs is failing innovation tests for a prolonged period, the EKF will periodically reset to the GPS and report good accuracy at the time of reset.
Adding this delay gives time for an underlying error condition (eg bad IMU or compass) to be re-detected.
[b04ac95] commander: Increase RAM allocation to eliminate low stack warnings
[9dca12f] commander: add missing position invalid fail-safe responses
[69f264d] commander: Update position invalid fail-safe responses
Replace separate logic for each case with a generic function
Add velocity checks.
[8e8cef1] commander: rework position validity checks
Consolidate existing checks for global and local position validity and add checking of velocity accuracy.
Enable checks to be bypassed using the CBRK_VELPOSERR parameter.
Move RC and DL failsafe actions handling from navigator to commander (credits to @AndreasAntener)
Separate manual kill switch handling via manual_lockdown to prevent override and release of software lockdown by RC switch
Other changes:
Add failsafe tune
Fix LED blinking for Pixracer
Return back support for rc inputs in simulator but now it is configurable via cmake
The param COM_ARM_WO_GPS is set to 1 by default to allow arming without
GPS. This then sets a bool arm_without_gps which translates to
!GNSS_check in preflightCheck.
The param NAV_RCL_ACT was not implemented as described. Also, it has the
completely the wrong name. It should be a COM param and not NAV.
Therefore, remove the param and delete the partly implemented
and probably never used functionality.
