This is current in the Copter vehicle code but we can move to the dataflash library when other vehicles start using this type of sensor. Until then adding it to common will just increase the dependencies unnecessarily for other vehicles.
this is for little used options to allow standard firmware builds to
enable those options for development purposes
First option is for MAVLink based ADSB avoidance
This modifies sport mode to be structured like althold and loiter flight modes so that ongoing maintenance of the modes is hopefully easier.
Also changes throttle feedback to occur from mid-stick
guided altitude targets are converted to alt-above-home
remove unnecessary fence_status local variable from guided_set_destination methods
log failures to set guided target under a new failure code: ERROR_CODE_DEST_OUTSIDE_FENCE (5)
rename pv_get_home_destination_distance_mc to pv_distance_to_home_cm
The is commit adds a new flight mode called 'Throw' to Copter that enables the copter to be thrown into the air to start motors. This mode can only be netered when the copters EKF has a valid position estimate and goes through the following states
Throw_Disarmed - The copter is disarmed and motors are off.
Throw_Detecting - The copter is armed, but motors will not spin unless THROW_MOT_START has been set to 1. The copter is waiting to detect the throw. A throw with an upwards velocity of at least 50cm/s is required to trigger the detector.
Throw_Uprighting - The throw has been detected and the copter is being uprighted with 50% throttle to maximise control authority. This state transitions when the copter is within 30 degrees of level.
Throw_HgtStabilise - The copter is kept level and height is stabilised about the target height which is 3m above the height at which the throw release was detected. This state transitions when the height is no more than 0.5m below the demanded height.
Throw_PosHold - The horizontal motion is arrested and the copter is kept at a constant position and height.
Added update_trigger and check_digital_pin functions
added camera trigger precise time mark
detect camera feedback pin status
added support for simple digital pin
included support for digital pin. Already included in
APMrover2.
added support for TRIGGER MSG
corrected according to defines.h
