It is a very simply form of station keeping. If a boat is
loitering on a waypoint and it gets blown off a distance
past the WAYPOINT_RADIUS it will automaticlly drive back to
the waypoint.
Commit 3636b53#diff-e22a85a55f71f1b9b2d3f293dea61368 introduce arming for rover. But in skid steering mode it was only applied on throttle and the rover still pivot.
The patch also correct rover behaviour in case of failsafe or loitering.
Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to get and set functionsss
old public member(int16_t) get function -> int16_t set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in c.get_radio_in() c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in c.get_control_in() c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out c.get_servo_out() c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out c.get_pwm_out() // use existing
c.radio_out c.get_radio_out() c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max c.get_radio_max() c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min c.get_radio_min() c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim c.get_radio_trim() c.set_radio_trim(v);
c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured
Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality
new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);
new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;
Rename functions
RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)
RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
Rationale:
RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
to grep all places where private variable is set by
searching for the set_xx function.
(The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
Global revision of message severity values.
Required also change to the low priority function gcs_send_text_fmt()
on GCS_Mavlink.cpp to disable the automatic setting of priority on
messages sent by this function
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.
This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
Rover now honours the Param1 setting of a time in seconds for a
NAV_WAYPOINT and the Rover will loiter at that waypoint for that
period of time.
Note that as soon as the Rover reaches that waypoint the loiter timer
will start. If you enter a different mode during this time (HOLD for
instance) the timer resets. If you then switch back to AUTO
mode and the Rover returns to that waypoint it will wait for the
loiter time configured in param1.
this will allow for reverse in steering mode, while also fixing a
problem with AHRS yaw when reversing, and a problem with initial
throttle in steering mode
