In case of a diverge of the nav filter, both position and velocity test
ratios are large. If only one of them is too large, the nav filter is
most likely not diverging but is encountering a GNSS position reset and
it is still safe to fly in position mode.
The mapping itself was seprated out into a calls because it was reused
for the experimental nudging implementation.
The position resets which were handled correctly before now
change the wrong setpoints and I adjusted.
The nudging has to be before any filtering, then these member setpoints
which are essentially copies are not needed anymore.
The velocity setpoint of the position controller
does a jump when unlocking position with a non-zero position error.
This is solved by using the velocity setpoint feedback to smoothly
take over.
Improves compression, e.g. current params file: 62KB to 51KB
There's also a PRESET_EXTREME option, which reduces by another 2KB.
We can revisit that once needed, as it increases mem usage as well.
- implement COMP_METADATA_TYPE_VERSION & add component_version.json.gz to
ROMFS for all targets.
- implement COMP_METADATA_TYPE_PARAMETER (only enabled for SITL currently)
With a higher responsiveness, after centering the stick, the velocity and
acceleration setpoints could oscillate around 0 and never reach 0, due to
discretization.
This also prevented position lock engagement.
In some cases e.g.: (VTOL in wind) a good tracking cannot be
achieved. This condition then needs to be relaxed, otherwise the
drone cannot land properly.
This allows to still fly missions completely without RC
but reacts if RC is lost during the mission because
the safety pilot expects to be able to take over.
Instead of directly doing the link loss reaction which by default is RTL a delay
can be configured such that the drone first switches to hold and waits
for the link to be regained.
As hardware buttons are not particularly reliable and the user flow is to disable safety then arm, then disarm via software / remote, it makes sense to make the button safety state itself sticky and require it to be reset via software.
- vehicle_attitude_setpoint thrust_body is a vector, but mavlink ATTITUDE_TARGET thrust is only a magnitude
- this allows the stream to be correct for both MC & FW use cases
