This commit is the groundwork to fix the power LED
blinking on V5
Background:
----------
Early boards only had an AMBER LED that was used to
indicate a High Load condition.
This change defines the new logical inteface
the LED_<color> should not be used in application
code moving forward, only the minipulator macros
should be used.
Logical usage Legacy default
------------------------+-------------
BOARD_OVERLOAD_LED | LED_RED
Later boards defined BOARD_HAS_CONTROL_STATUS_LEDS
and added the use of a BLUE and GREEN LED that were
used as follows:
Logical usage Legacy default
------------------------+-------------
BOARD_ARMED_LED | LED_BLUE
BOARD_ARMED_STATE_LED | LED_GREEN
With this PR a board may now define _only_ a subset
the leds and map them at the board level to the
color LED it wants to use.
Logical usage Legacy default
------------------------+-------------
BOARD_OVERLOAD_LED | LED_RED
when BOARD_HAS_CONTROL_STATUS_LEDS is defined
BOARD_ARMED_LED | LED_BLUE
BOARD_ARMED_STATE_LED | LED_GREEN
If any of the BOARD_{OVERLOAD|ARMED|ARMED_STATE}_LED are not
defined. The code output generates a null action for that
LED.
PX4 Drone Autopilot
This repository holds the PX4 flight control solution for drones, with the main applications located in the src/modules directory. It also contains the PX4 Drone Middleware Platform, which provides drivers and middleware to run drones.

PX4 Users
The PX4 User Guide explains how to assemble supported vehicles and fly drones with PX4. See the forum and chat if you need help!
PX4 Developers
This Developer Guide is for software developers who want to modify the flight stack and middleware (e.g. to add new flight modes), hardware integrators who want to support new flight controller boards and peripherals, and anyone who wants to get PX4 working on a new (unsupported) airframe/vehicle.
Developers should read the Guide for Contributions. See the forum and chat if you need help!
Weekly Dev Call
The PX4 Dev Team syncs up on a weekly dev call.
Note
The dev call is open to all interested developers (not just the core dev team). This is a great opportunity to meet the team and contribute to the ongoing development of the platform. It includes a QA session for newcomers. All regular calls are listed in the Dronecode calendar.
