Respecting the opinion on

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.

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.
The entire logic did not work for the case when the throttle channel is
reversed because then QGC sets trim = max for that channel and
the result is only half the throttle range.
This adds support for the TI LP5562 RGB LED driver.
Things to note:
- The driver is initialized in simple PWM mode using its internal clock,
for R,G,B, but not for W(hite).
- The chip doesn't have a WHO_AM_I or DEVICE_ID register to check.
Instead we read the W_CURRENT register that we're generally not using
and therefore doesn't get changed.
- The current is left at the default 17.5 mA but could be changed using
the command line argument.

Our serial_test showed only ~84kB/s with the default 256 RX buffer size
with significant ~2.5ms periods of the flow control RTS pin being
asserted. Increasing size to 600 (same as FMU-v5x) brings the throughput
only to ~190kB/s, while a size of >1500 achieves ~350kB/s. Larger RX
buffers do not increase throughput anymore, while the theoretical
maximum is 375kB/s.
Transmit buffer size is increased to 10kB same as on FMUv5x to prevent
any future differences in queue behavior and throughput. serial_test
showed ~350kB/s throughput at 3kB TX buffer size, so this is just a
precaution.

A VTOL plane in MC mode has no yaw setpoint during takeoff because of
weather-vane. To align for the front transition, the yaw target jumps
and caused a step in the controller, making it reach saturation.
With this commit, the previous yaw setpoint is set to the current yaw
when no yaw setpoint is sent in order to create a smooth yaw trajectory
starting at the current orientation when yaw target is suddenly finite.
The yawspeed filter also now contains the yaw speed instead of dyaw in
order to prevent chattering due to dt jitter.
The API is cleaner if the control_data is const reference and the device
compid is an explicit output argument.

- precision landing works incorrectly, target position is not updated during the descent above target
- _prepareLandSetpoints needs to update _land_position continuously

- the thermal offsets are an optional correction applied to the raw data, so when updating an existing calibration offset with new learned bias we don't want this incorporated
- EKF isTimedOut(), isRecent(), and isNewestSampleRecent() need to handle the case where the timestamp has never been set
- reset() more thoroughly reset fields (mainly impacts unit tests)
Set this flag to true if local position is valid but accuracy low, such that
the operator can be warned before system switches to position-failure failsafe.
Additionally, switch to RTL if currently in Mission or Loiter to try to reach home
or fly out of GNSS-denied area.
Set low accuracy threshold to 50m by default for FW and VTOL.

Otherwise the flight time restriction flag gets cleared too early, before
disarming (which puts the vehicle into the previous mode and it might
take off again).
Fixes the following case:
- user intention set to X
- failsafe triggers, mode = Y
- can_run for X becomes false
- user tries to switch to X
-> need to re-evaluate can_run
Previously, it was not possible to enable forwarding of messages to/from
teh USB instance because it does not have a param for it, like the
serial instances have.
With this commit, we change the default to always set forwarding on for
the USB instance as that is likely desired.

The static object is destroyed on at_exit while threads might still be
inside a CS. This can lead to a hanging process.
Cleaner would be to gracefully stop the threads.
According to https://linux.die.net/man/3/pthread_cond_destroy:
Attempting to destroy a condition variable upon which other threads are
currently blocked results in undefined behavior.
Instead check if system has previously switched into LOITER to acheive the current
WP of type POSITION, and in that case stay in LOITER until altitude is reached.

Do the same as DO_REPOSITION wit only the altitude field populated
and MAV_DO_REPOSITION_FLAGS set, which means:
- switch to Loiter mode if not already in it
- set the current altitude to what is specified in the altitdue field,
keep current altitude setpoint otherwise
- keep current position setpoint
- fall back to current estimated position in case a position setpoint
is not finite

Previously the condition was based on hard coded height rate estimate and
setpoint values and an altitude error threshold. That showed to be leading
to false positives when the vehicle doesn't tightly follow the altitdue
ramp given by TECS to achieve a new altitude setpoint, and has become
completely infeasibly with the latest TECS rework that leads to non-ramped
altitude setpoint changes in the tecs_status message.
The new check no longer checks the altitude error but only the height rate
instead. It begins to integrate the height rate error once it detects an
uncommanded descend condition (height rate negative while setpoint is
positive). Integral threshold can be tuned by user (VT_QC_HR_ERROR_I).

In rare occasions asking for the protocol values after setting it returned
[0, 0]. I did not see any documentation for having to wait, but adding a
short wait period fixes it.
- refactor all EKF backend output predictor pieces into new OutputPredictor class
- output states are now calculated immediately with new high rate IMU rather than after EKF update
- IMU delayed sample is passed as around as control data to avoid storing an extra copy and make the requirement clear
- update motor mapping to use new UART_ESC_FUNC* auto generated params
- add support for actuator_test msg to support Actuator Testing in QGC
- modalai_fc-vX targets start driver if configured
- keep track of ESC spin direction in own param
- set ramp up param in MixerOutput to false
- use `gazebo-classic` everywhere consistently referring to the original Gazebo (eg version 9,10,11)
- additional `gazebo_*` helper targets added for compatibility, but warn about deprecation and tell you the new target naming
- use `gz` everywhere when referring to Gazebo (aka Ignition Gazebo or new Gazebo)
For the esc_calibration code, the actuator test is published for each motor
in a row. If the orb queue size is too small, messages are lost and not
received in mixer_module.
Set the default orb queue size of ActuatorTest high enough to keep the commands
for all motors in the queue.

Strictly follow the following convention for tailsitter:
FW Attitude and FW rate controller always operate in the FW frame, meaning that roll is
roll in FW, which for tailsitter means around the yaw axis in the body frame. The interfaces
between modules is though always in body frame.
That enables us to do the axis transformations for tailsitter, that are currently distributed
all over the controller (attitude, rate, vtol module), only at the input and output data of modules.
Side effect is that the FW rate control tuning gains meanings change: while before the roll gains
where meant for the body axis, they are now always applied for the FW roll axis (also in hover). So
the naming now is correct for FW, while before it was for Hover.

This failsafe flag is currently used for not allowing to re-transition to FW, as well
as disabling pusher assist in hover. Till now it was only possible to reset it with
a commanded transition to MC, which many ground station interfaces didn't allow
as the system, after a quad-chute, already was in MC mode.
Hereby it is changed to reset when a new transition to FW is triggered (either via
RC switch or MAVLink command). It is the users responsibility to assess the situation
after a quad-chute happened to try to transition to FW again, manually proceed/land
the vehicle in MC, or let it finish the defined behavior after a quad-chute.

- during casual testing on default configs the stack was penetration was reaching ~90% which is a bit too close for comfort
- increasing by 50% to be conservative
When we receive a command_long or command_int message to
answer, it arrives with a source sysid/compid, so this means we can send
the command_ack back on the appropriate MAVLink instances instead of all
of them.
This commit filters outgoing command_ack messages, so they are only sent
on the MAVLink instances where the sysid/compid has been seen in the
past.
This means that a command_ack is likely still sent on multiple links for
a setup with redundant links.
This should also prevent command_acks from being blasted on Iridium links
when it's not required.

- Do not pull in PWM parameters when DISABLE_PARAMS_MODULE_SCOPING is TRUE since VOXL2 has no PWM nor any of the required timer_config files that go along with that
- Replace non-standard M_PI constants with PX4 defined M_PI_F constants
- Include missing header file for function hrt_absolute_time declaration
- Add new PX4_SOC_ARCH_ID for the VOXL2 board
- move EV yaw and EV position to new state machines
- EV yaw and EV pos now configured via EKF2_EV_CTRL (migrated from EKF2_AID_MASK)
- new EV position offset estimator to enable EV position while GPS position is active (no more EV pos delta fusion)
- yaw_align now strictly means north (no more rotate external vision aid mask)
- automatic switching between EV yaw, and yaw align north based on GPS quality
* AirspeedSelector: use vehicle_air_data.rho for calculating groundspeed-wind CAS
Previously the vehicle_air_data.temperature and pressure was used, instead of the
density field directly.
Only makes a difference if there is an airspeed sensor connected to provide
the air temperature.
* AirspeedSelector: only safe estimated scale in param if airspeed is valid
* AirspeedSelector: remove 0.01 cliff for saving learned scale to param
