- simplify vehicle_status.arming_state down to just armed and disarmed
- ARMING_STATE_INIT doesn't matter
- ARMING_STATE_STANDBY is effectively pre_flight_checks_pass
- ARMING_STATE_STANDBY_ERROR not needed
- ARMING_STATE_SHUTDOWN effectively not used (all the poweroff/shutdown calls loop forever in place)
- ARMING_STATE_IN_AIR_RESTORE doesn't exist anymore
- collapse ArmStateMachine into commander
- all requests already go through Commander::arm() and Commander::dismarm()
- other minor changes
- VEHICLE_CMD_DO_FLIGHTTERMINATION undocumented (unused?) test command (param1 > 1.5f) removed
- switching to NAVIGATION_STATE_TERMINATION triggers parachute command centrally (only if armed)

Some system are able to dead-reckon for a while after losing GPS or
other sources providing positional feedback. If the estimated position
error grows above the failsafe threshold, the system enters a failsafe
mode. As the position error estimate is growing linerly over time, and
it is recommended to take action before entering the failsafe, we here
warn the user about the imminent failsafe and propose to take manual
control.

If at the last powercycle one mission was uploaded, the counter in dataman was 1. On the next powercycle the mavlink mission counter was reset to zero and on first mission upload updated to 1 again. Other modules check, if the mission was changed based on the counter, like the mission.cpp loaded the mission counter from the dataman. On a new mission, the comparison of the counters failed, because both were the same value even if the mission was completely different.
This can be useful if using a full EV + GNSS setup and you start indoors, then fly outside. Once GPS is good and the only missing requirement is yaw alignment the yaw estimator reset is performed and EV yaw will automatically stop itself.
There is no reason to contrsain the position uncertainty, estpecially
when flying with velocitiy aiding only.
Note that all the variances are already contrained to sane values at the
end of the covariance prediction
- set vision attitude error filter uninitialized if vision data stops

A version update is needed since the dataman is showing errors if data doesn't exist or if it is wrongly stored. This will force default data to be initialized.
There is some actual changes because the earth mag field states are now
reset using the WMM when available. In the replay log, the measured mag
field does not match the WMM and this is why there is a large diff. It
is however more correct now than before.
because sprintf is deprecated on MacOS
and CI fails with warning -> error:
'sprintf' is deprecated: This function is
provided for compatibility reasons only.
Due to security concerns inherent in the
design of sprintf(3), it is highly
recommended that you use snprintf(3) instead.
I updated all versions to the newest one that's used anywhere.
Then at least the straing can be found with full text search.
It's another step towards understanding and unifying the CI environment.
Since we changed the threshold for allowing arming from TRIM/2 to AIRSPEED_MAX
is is very unlikely that one needs to disable this check.

Case: A vehicle is already operating but has no stick input or another
source than RC. When RC stick input is switched to either because it gets
first time available or as a fallback to joystick then the mode was
immediately changed to the switch position. This can lead to loss of
control e.g. when the vehicle is flying far away and the
mode switch of the RC is in some fully manual piloted mode.
I added tests to cover the cases where RC mode initialization is expected
and also unexpceted because the vehicle is already armed.

The module depends on the hysteresis library and probably because
it compiles with the still prevalent global includes the dependency

in air bias estimation is usually really accurate and should be weighted
more heavily compared to the calibration parameters that are often
more approximate given the worse magnetic environment near the ground.
- since last_us is set to 0 every time the bias is not observable, the
total time was also reset -> needed 30 consecutive seconds in mag 3D
to be declared "stable"
- after landing, the mag_aligned_in_flight flag is reset. Using this for
bias validity makes it invalid before we have a chance to save it to
the calibration.
Opt flow raw innovations can be really large on ground due to the small
distance to the ground (vel = flow / dist). To make the pre-flight check
more meaningful, scale it with the current distance.
Channel values stay over one unit test but some tests assumed they are
reset each time. Reset the channel after these mode button tests.
Parameters survive between unit tests presumably as long as
the bianry runs. Reset them if a test requires that.
This allows PWM and all other output methods to configure
stopped, idling and full thrust points and use them consistently.
The fact that a fixed wing motor can be stopped when zero thrust
is demanded is explicit and could in principle even be disabled.
The mechanism is the same as for a standard VTOL stopping the
multicopter motors in the fixed wing flight phase.
This allows to consistently define:
Motor stopped - disarmed PWM
Motor idling - minimum PWM
Motor at full thrust - maximum PWM
Any allocation can then distinctly decide if
a motor should be running or not depending
on the context and also explicitly command that.
This is required to process data from the ADS1115 ADC and enables the
params BATx_I_CHANNEL and BATx_V_CHANNEL.
Testing is required whether this actually works on Pixhawk 6X though.

Having newline between I think didn't apply the PR stale days setting of
30 properly (it was using 45)
And it seemd that unless I set the days-before-close to -1
intentionally, it would still close the Issue/PRs, as the default value
is 7 already.
Also updated version of the stale action to v8
* Remove old stale bot yaml file
* Remove slack svg file (unused)
* Stale action: Only apply stale label, and no other actions
Respecting the opinion on
https://github.com/PX4/PX4-Autopilot/commit/fa9ac6ecf651232f3105ca124a2d2c54ab8620d0,
it seems reasonable to disable commenting feature, and just keep the
action only applying the `stale` label. This will reduce the noise /
email spams / ping pong fight with the stale bot (Action)
- Remove unnecessary text rendering, which made clicking log links
harder
- Re adjust markdown elements to make it easier to read / intuitive when

Instead of hard-coding the tilting duration (from FW to MC tilt),
expose it as a parameter (VT_BT_TILT_DUR). The default is the same
as the hard-coded value previously (1s).
Slower tilting mechanisms need a higher value here, while for smaller
ones a too high value results in unnecessary delays till the motors
are in hover configuration.

This affects how soon after a backtransition the vehicle has the
full hover controller running again. Specifically it reduces the
duration of the ramp down of the motors prior to tilting them.

COM_ARMABLE is set to "Disabled" will prevent arming.
This allows to set the parameter when ground demoing a drone or
if it's in maintenance for safety reasons.
const char *data = "www\r\n";
Defines a cstring of 6 bytes: 'w', 'w', 'w', '\r', '\n', '\0'
type of data: char const*
type of &data: char const**
So when we call
write(_fd, &data, strlen(data));
then strlen(data) == 5
and we send the 4 byte memory address of data
+ some additional random byte.
Correct is
write(_fd, data, strlen(data));
where char const* gets casted to const void * and we pass
the pointer to the content of data.
The fundamental problem here is write() not being typesafe.
Before this the ESC calibration aborts if battery detection doesn't work.
The problem is if the user still connects the battery as he gets instructed
and the calibration aborts then the ESCs are in calibration mode and
after abortion calibrate to the wrong value.
Also I realized there's no additional safety by aborting the calibration
if the battery cannot be detected during the timeout because a pixhawk
board without power module will report a battery status from the
ADC driverand in it that no battery is connected which is the best
it can do. In this situation the motors will still spin if the
ESCs are powered.
Some ESCs e.g. Gaui enter the menu relatively quickly if the
signal is high for too long. To solve that it's kept high shorter.
Also all tested ESCs detect the low signal within a shorter time
so no need to wait longer.
- Change timings for a more reliable calibration.
- Make sure there's an error message when battery measurement is not
available also when it gets disabled after system boot in the power
just above the calibration button.
- Safety check if measured electrical current goes up after issuing the
high calibration value for the case the user did not unplug power
and the detection either fails or is not enforced.
Before:
When the mixed throttle for the motor was exactly zero the ramp went
from the disarmed PWM value to the minimum PWM value.
When the throttle was even just slightly different from zero the ramp
made a jump up to the commanded throttle scaled between
disarmed PWM and maximum PWM, then ramped between
disarmed PWM and minimum PWM and at the end jumped up again to
the commanded throttle scaled between minimum PWM and maximum PWM.
After:
The ramp goes from disarmed PWM value to the the
commanded throttle scaled between minimum PWM and maximum PWM.
If the commanded throttle changes during the ramp then the scale and
hence also end value of the ramp changes.
When at rest, directly fuse the gyro data as an observation of its bias.
This allows to strongly observe the gyro biases without having to fuse a
constant heading that makes the ekf too confident about its heading.
