Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to get and set functionsss
old public member(int16_t) get function -> int16_t set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in c.get_radio_in() c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in c.get_control_in() c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out c.get_servo_out() c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out c.get_pwm_out() // use existing
c.radio_out c.get_radio_out() c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max c.get_radio_max() c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min c.get_radio_min() c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim c.get_radio_trim() c.set_radio_trim(v);
c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured
Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality
new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);
new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;
Rename functions
RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)
RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
Rationale:
RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
to grep all places where private variable is set by
searching for the set_xx function.
(The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
Instead of going through 'hal' then 'scheduler', use directly the AP_HAL
functions. Besides removing indirection that is not necessary for such
functions, this patch ends up reducing the code size in the call sites.
For example, building ArduCopter for PX4 with this change (compared to
before introduction of the functions) yields almost 3k bytes of code
size.

A later patch will remove the unused functions in the Schedulers.
Fixed this bug
https://github.com/diydrones/ardupilot/issues/840
If a Rover was in AUTO and the user moved the throttle stick into
reverse past 50% the rover would increase. Basically the throttle
nudge behaviour was the same regardless of whether you moved the
throttle forward or backward.
This removes a lot of the ArduPlane specific cruft left over from the
initial Rover import from ArduPlane, plus fixes a bunch of serious
bugs. For example, the rover was unable to use either compass or gps
for heading - it used just gyros!
There is still a lot of cruft left, but this at least gives a bit
better basis for future work
Added option (hold roll to full right + SW7 ON/OFF) to init_home during the wp_list reset
Add ROV_SONAR_TRIG (default = 200 cm) - tested by Franco
Restart_nav() added and heading bug correction, tested OK in the field
RTL then stop update - Tested OK in the field
Added SONAR detection for obstacle avoidance

Fix an issue with initialization of channels that on-line changed their function.
For the curious people that the code size overhead of having any aux channel do any function (with this code) is 44 bytes.
