Previous default was to apply in-flight height origin changes to local position instead of to reported origin height. This caused problems with copters that took off before getting GPS lock.
Fix rounding error bug preventing state from updating after initial convergence.
Decouple GPS reference height from published EKf origin height.
Add bitmask parameter to control update and publishing of GPS reference height.
this changes the stragegy for load levelling between EKF cores so it
works between EK2 and EK3, and with future estimators as well.
It allows us to run EK3 and EK2 at the same time with good scheduling
performance
Use the time delay returned by the GPS driver.
Wait long enough for the GPS configuration to be determined, but time out after 30 seconds and warn the user that a default value for time delay will be used.
Switch to use of an airspeed reading averaged across the raw sensor readings. since the last update.
This avoids use of the IIR which requires a larger time delay compensation and violates the assumption of uncorrelated noise.
The time delay parameter has been reduced to compensate for the removal of the airspeed IIR filtering.
This value is a compromise between what works best for a Ublox 6 which is around 200msec delay and the more recent 7 and 8 series receivers that are around 120msec delay.
Adapt the lengths of the IMU and observations buffers on startup to the specified time delays and update rates.
This does require the EKF to be re-started if time delays are changed.
Enables the horizontal speed at which we switch from range finder to alternate to be adjusted.
Does not switch from range finder to alternate based on speed when speed estimate is invalid.
AP_NavEKF3: Implement same maths as PX4/ecl EKF
Replace attitude vector states with quaternions
Remove gyro scale factor states
Add XY accel delta velocity bias estimation
Initial tuning
Add GPS body frame offset compensation
AP_NavEKF3: Fix bugs and consolidate aiding switch logic
Switching in and out of aiding modes was being performed in more than one place and was using two variables.
The reversion out of GPS mode due to prolonged loss of GPS was not working.
This consolidates the logic and ensures that PV_AidingMode is only changed by the setAidingMode function.
AP_NavEKF3: prevent multiple fusion mode changes per filter update
AP_NavEKF3: Update tuning defaults
AP_NavEKF3: Fix bug causing switching in and out of aiding
If the GPS receiver was disconnected and no data received, then then the gpsGoodToAlign check did not get a chance to run and becasue it was previously true the EKF would switch back into aiding.
This prevents this by ensuring that gpsGoodToAlign defaults to false when the check is not being performed.
An additional check has also been dded to ensure that there is GPS data to fuse before we declare ready to use GPS.
AP_NavEKF3: Fix bug preventing planes recovering from bad magnetometers
This bug created a race condition whereby if the EKF had to reset the yaw to the GPS ground course to recover from a bad magnetometer, the new heading could be over-written by the bad magnetic heading when the plane reached the height for the scheduled reset.
AP_NavEKF3: Improve switch-over to backup magnetometer
When switching over to a back up magnetometer, ensure that the earth field estimate are reset. Otherwise mag earth field estimates due to the previous failed mag could cause data from the new mag to be rejected.
AP_NavEKF3: enable automatic use of range finder height
AP_NavEKF3: Fix bug in handling of invalid range data
AP_NavEKF3: Fix height drift on ground using range finder without GPSAP_NavEKF3:
AP_NavEKF3: Handle yaw jumps due to core switches
AP_NavEKF3: Enable simultaneous GPS and optical flow use
AP_NavEKF3: fix console status reporting
AP_NavEKF3: send messages to mavlink instead of console
This allows the GCS to better handle the display of messages to the user.
AP_NavEKF3: replace deprecated function call
AP_NavEKF3: Compensate for sensor body frame offsets
AP_NavEKF3: Fix bug in median filter code
AP_NavEKF3: save some memory in the position offsets in EKF3
We don't need to copy that vector3f for every sample. A uint8_t does the job
AP_NavEKF3: Add fusion of range beacon data
AP_NavEKF3: Bring up to date with EKF2
AP_NavEKF3: Misc range beacon updates
AP_NavEKF3: Add mising accessors
AP_NavEKF3: remove duplicate include
AP_NavEKF3: Prevent NaN's when accessing range beacon debug data
AP_NavEKF3: Update range beacon naming
AP_NavEKF3: updates
AP_NavEKF3: miscellaneous changes
AP_NavEKF3: misc updates
AP_NavEKF3: misc range beacons updates
AP_NavEKF3: add missing rover default param
Fixes a bug that allows the last reported reset time to to wind back and an out of date reset delta to be reported if a switch to a core that has previously been reset occurs.
Allows multiple consumers provided they access on the same frame.
