Added equivalent parameters to WPNAV_SPEED_UP and WPNAV_SPEED_DN
New parameters named:
PILOT_SPEED_UP (technically renamed PILOT_VELZ_MAX)
PILOT_SPEED_DN
Removed parameter PILOT_VELZ_MAX (technically renamed to PILOT_SPEED_UP).
Flight Modes impacted:
ALTHOLD
AUTOTUNE
CIRCLE
LOITER
POSHOLD
SPORT
TAKEOFF
Update a section in GUIDED mode but I don't think it is ever used but update just in case.
It will use the PILOT_SPEED_UP for ascending max velocity. For down it will check if
it is 0, if so then it will PILOT_SPEED_UP instead, if non zero it will use PILOT_SPEED_DN.
This retains current behavior and gives the flexibility to change it if desired.
Previously we had _smooth and non-smooth methods in the attitude
controller but as part of the move to quaternions these have been replaced
by a single call which always takes a smoothing gain
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)
This resolves issue #1021 in which LAND mode could descend at the
PILOT_VELZ rate instead of the WPNAV_SPEED_DN
Pilot defined acceleration is used for AltHold, AutoTune , Circle,
Hybrid, Loiter, OF_Loiter and Sport flight modes
Waypoint Nav (ie. AutoPilot) acceleration is used for Auto, Land, RTL
