The config mode uses high rates for many streams, leading to high CPU usage
(9-10% for the mavlink sender). The normal mode contains almost the same
set of messages but at lower rates.
This reduces the CPU load on a Pixracer by 3-4%.
This commit is an attempt to fix a race condition happening on takeoff
between the land detector and the multicopter position controller.
Previously, an auto-takeoff leads to the following events:
1. A takeoff setpoint is given.
2. The thrust setpoint spikes because we don't enter smooth takeoff yet.
3. The land detector detects a takeoff because of the high thrust.
4. The position controller sees the landed state transition and
initiates the smooth takeoff. Thrust goes back down.
5. Depending on control gains the takeoff is successful or fails
if the smoothing takes too long which causes thrust to be too low, so
the land detector detects land again.
The two obvious problems with this are:
- The intermittent spike.
- The failed takeoff because of the smoothing leads to a delay..
With this change, the logic for a takeoff detection is moved from the
land detector to the position controller.
The events are now:
1. A takeoff setpoint is given.
2. The position controller detects the takeoff setpoint and initiates
the smooth takeoff.
3. As thrust ramps up, the land detector detects the take off.
In the same way, we now detect the intent to takeoff in manual,
altitude, control, position control in the position controller instead
of in the land detector.
* NuttX cmake
* px4_macros:Pass the stringified predicate as second arg to static assert
CC_ASSERT mapes to the c++ static_assert or provides the same
funtionality for c via the other macros. The c++ static assert
takes 2 argumants the prdicate and a message. This fixes the
lacking second argument.
* Updated nuttx and apps submodule to upstream nuttx 7.21+==master
This is the latest uptake of upstream nuttx and apps.
* ROMFS generate with xxd instead of objcopy
* delete nuttx-patches
* NuttX update submodules to latest px4_nuttx-master
* fix nuttx apps and board dependency
* docker_run update to latest container 2017-08-29
* cmake ROMFS portable sed usage
* NuttX update submodules to latest px4_nuttx-master
This commit changes old trone driver into a generic
TeraRanger driver that supports both TeraRanger One
and TeraRanger Evo.
As a part of the change a new parameter was created
SENS_EN_TRANGER that allows to specify the following
modes of operation:
0 - sensors disabled
1 - autodetect sensors
2 - use TeraRanger One rangefinder
3 - use TeraRanger Evo rangefinder

Board builds may now inclulde both the PWM and I2C RGB LED
To add the PWM RGB LED driver:The board must define
BOARD_HAS_LED_PWM and include rgbled_pwm the moulde list.
This change attempts to start the either rgbled driver, that
may or may not be present. If it is not present the +e
setting allows the start up to continue.

Using the hwvercmp on FMUv2 HW derivatives built with px4fmu_v3_default
to ues a more targeted startup approach:
1) Detect V3 and V2M
2) On V3 use the external mpu9250 to further discriminate between 2.0
and 2.1. Then only start the devices that are on that version of
the board.
3) Due to HW errata on PixhawkMini deprecate mpu9250.
The mpu9250 will not start reliably on the PixhawkMini
Since we have an ICM20608 and an External Mag the
mpu9250 is not to be used.
The UART3 also have the I2C bus 2 functions so moving GPS to UART7 to
have one additional I2C.
To keep GPS working is also necessary update the FPGA RTL to version
0xC1 or higher.
* Create 3037_parrot_disco_mod
Add support for the Parrot Disco airframe. Tested with both Pixhawk Mini and Pixracer, using a generic 30A ESC and a Cobra 2221/16 motor.
* Update 3037_parrot_disco_mod
fixed indentation per @Dagar
* Use new generic FW wing mixer (fw_generic_wing.main.mix)
