dt could drive the alpha filter crazy because of the small dt
approximation during the computation of the coefficient.
- Remove unused bitmask packing of the innovation checks
* Enable velocity control for rover
* Address comments
* Use pid for speed control
* Calculate steering commands correctly
* Use local velocity estimates to avoid global position dependency
And fix some IO bugs:
- PX4IO_P_STATUS_FLAGS_RAW_PWM was never cleared. This meant that after a
'pwm test' command, normal mixing was not possible anymore.
Fixed by remembering when we are in test mode and not sending
PX4IO_PAGE_CONTROLS during that time. PX4IO_P_STATUS_FLAGS_RAW_PWM is
cleared when PX4IO_PAGE_CONTROLS are received.
- when entering test mode w/o specifying all channels, the other channels
were not set at all, which means they could still be set to values from
a previous test call.
This is fixed by setting all channels to disarmed when entering/leaving
test mode.
* ekf2: Add FirstOrderLpf and InnovationLpf classes for innovation lowpass filtering
* ekf2: use InnovLpf filter class in preflight checks
* ekf2: move selection of yaw test limit for pre-flight check in function
* ekf2: Move pre-flight checks into separate function
* ekf2: use static constexpr insetead of inline for sq (square) function
* ekf2: Split pre-flight checks in separate functions
Also use the same check for all the innovations:
innov_lpf < test and innov < 2xtest
* ekf2: Add optical flow pre-flight check
* ekf2: Combine FirstOrderLpf and InnovationLpf in single class
* ekf2: check vel_pos_innov when ev_pos is active as well
* ekf2: transform InnovationLpf into a header only library and pass the
spike limit during the update call to avoid storing it here
* ekf2: Static and const cleanup
- set spike_lim constants as static constexpr, set innovation
- set checker helper functions as static
- rename the mix of heading and yaw as heading to avoid confusion
* ekf2: use ternary operator in selectHeadingTestLimit instead of if-else
* ekf2: store intermediate redults in const bool flags. Those will be used for logging
* ekf2: set variable const whenever possible
* ekf2: create PreFlightChecker class that handle all the innovation
pre-flight checks.
Add simple unit testing
Use bitmask instead of general flag to have more granularity
* PreFlightChecker: use setter for the innovations to check instead of sending booleans in the update function
This makes it more scalable as more checks will be added
* ekf: Use booleans instead of bitmask for ekf preflt checks
Rename "down" to "vert"
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.
This adds a flight task to catch the case where we want to do an
emergency descent without GPS but only a baro.
Previously, this would lead to the navigator land class being called
without position estimates which then made the flight tasks fail and
react with a flight task failsafe. This however meant that landed was
never detected and a couple of confusing error messages.
This applies if NAV_RCL_ACT is set to 3 "land".
