Align the way motor output is computed with the model used in the mixer generation script.
previous:
`out = (roll_gain*roll + pitch_gain*pitch + yaw_gain*yaw + thrust)*out_gain`
new:
`out = roll_gain*roll + pitch_gain*pitch + yaw_gain*yaw + thrust_gain*thrust`
which is the standard matrix*vector multiplication.
This commit has 0 effect on symmetric platforms (i.e. most) as thrust_gain==1 on these platforms.
On asymmetric platform --where some thrust_gain are lower than 1-- the previous formulation resulted in coupling between thrust and other axes.
fixes#8628
The geometry was previously quad_deadcat in which front motors are closer to CG and thus more loaded in hover.
quad_wide is the same geometry as quad_deadcat except the CG is centered so all motors are loaded equally.
Flight logs on IRIS with deadcat mixer showed that
- all motors are equally loaded during hover (actuator_outputs 0 to 3 have similar values)
- a negative pitch offset is building up soon after takeoff (visible in actuator_controls)
This is a temporary workaround for equal expressions in chip/sam_xdmac.c
and can be reverted once fixed properly in NuttX. Needed for the GCC 7
upgrade in #8551.
-created a test base class to centralize redundant methods among the different tests
-added mission waypoint list topic listener (this also helps make sure the simulation is ready)
-check number of mission waypoints in FCU against mission
-increase time for mavros topics to be ready from 30 to 60 seconds
-reduce position check loop rates
-clean up logging
-support QGC plan for mission file format, see #8619
-vehicle is an arg for mission test launch file, working toward other airframes
-Jenkins: fix vtol vehicle arg value
-get MAV_TYPE param and use FW radius for pure fixed-wing mission position check
-remove unused vehicle arg from test in multiple tests launch, clearing runtime warning
