when using a vision position system, the user may have vision derived
GPS data coming in using GPS_INPUT msgs. We should not fuse these when
EK2_GPS_TYPE=3 as we end up fusing both vision data and GPS data,
which does not work with the current EK2 code
This change makes it possible to run EK2 and EK3 in parallel in a
Vicon, wityh EK2 using VISION_POSITION_ESTIMATE data and EK3 using
GPS_INPUT (with yaw) data.
when on the ground without a position source we would disable the
innovation gate for the barometer. This meant that a single (or small
number of) really bad baro readings would be fused into the EKF,
causing it to destabilise
Fixes#11903
this prevents the EKF origin on different cores from being initialised
to different values. A common value is stored in the frontend and used
by a core if it doesn't have an origin
this forces the EKF origin to the GPS alt on a height datum reset if
we have GPS lock. If we don't do this then the reported AMSL alt will
drift over time away from the GPS alt when we reset while on the
ground
this allows us to learn the gyro biases each lane would need if it had
to switch to another gyro due to a sensor failure. This prevents a
sudden change in gyro bias on IMU failure
this ensures we consistently fly with EKF lane1 if it is healthy at
the point we arm. Otherwise the choice of lane will be a lottery.
This is important as many systems have quite different filtering and
vibration characteristics on their different IMUs. We by default
enable fast sampling only on the first IMU for example, which means
the 2nd and 3rd IMUs are more vulnerable to high freq causing
aliasing.
this sets a limit on the difference between the earth field from the
WMM tables and the learned earth field inside the EKF. Setting it to
zero disables the feature. A positive value sets the limit in mGauss.
this fixes an issue in selecting the best lane to change to when we
have 3 or more EKF cores. The bug is that if the current lane is
unhealthy it would always choose the last healthy lane instead of
choosing the lane with the lowest score
when we had 3 compasses the lack of the 'break' meant when we switched
compass in flight we would always switch back instantly to the one
that we had just rejected.
