This changes the way RC is handled for the Mantis:
- The RC values are re-written when arriving over MAVLink. They are
rescaled from 0..4095 to 1000..2000 and the channel bits added to
separate channels. This makes the downstream handling easier.
- Gimbal pitch is moved from Aux1 to Aux2 as that should be the default.
- Aux3 and Aux4 are used for the photo and video trigger.
- The speed button is used as the FLTMODE channel and set to switch
between POSCTL and ALTCTL.
The limits might somewhat match the sensor, guessed based on the
original driver.
The quality is set so that spikes when sitting on the ground are not
used.
- uavcan firmware server no longer shuts down when arming (nodes might restart in flight)
- always handle UAVCAN parameters with or without the FW server active
- remove legacy ESC enumeration in FW server
- allow effectiveness matrix to select control allocator method
(desaturation algorithm)
- add actuator_servos publication
- add support for multiple matrices (for vtol)
- add updateSetpoint callback method to actuator effectiveness to allow it
to manipulate the actuator setpoint after allocation
- handle motor stopping & reversal
- add control surfaces & tilt servos
- handle standard vtol + tiltrotor
- rename MC rotors params & class to be more generically usable
- fixes and enables ActuatorEffectivenessRotorsTest
- cmake NuttX build wrapper compile in place instead of copying source tree to build directory
- slightly faster skipping necessary copying (depending on system)
- allows debugging in place
- easier to work directly in NuttX following official documentation
- simplifies overall build which should make it easier to resolve any remaining NuttX dependency issues in the build system
- the downside is switching back and forth between different builds always require rebuilding NuttX, but I think this is worth the improved developer experience
- also no longer builds px4io and bootloader in every single build, for most users these rarely change and we're wasting a lot of build time
