Report CRSF link quality in place of RSSI

ArduPilot:master ← julesgilson:lq_as_rssi

For comment. It adds RC_OPTION bitmask 11 If set the CRSF protocol will return …CRSF link quality in place of RSSI, i.e RSSI reported will not actually be RSSI but LQ. This is the first time I have seen the code and am not sure of the structure, so for comment only really. Maybe a real contributor wants to re-factor the code for inclusion? It also sends GCS message to note the value being reported as RSSI when RF Mode changes (again, slotted it in here to change the existing code as little as possible)

Plane: tailsitter: add gains to scale control surface vs motors

ArduPilot:master ← IamPete1:tailsiter_motor_control_surface_gain

opened 08:33PM - 08 Dec 21 UTC

This adds roll, pitch and yaw gains to allow scaling of the control surfaces rel…ative to motors. This is only of use on over actuated vehicles, such as copter tailsitter. The PID gains can be reduced and the new gain increased to favor the control surfaces over the motors. This is most useful on yaw where motors tend to have poor control power and control surfaces have more. This is not a ideal solution, were still using the same gains for two different actuator types. Typically motors would not use feed-forwarded where as control surfaces would. The alternate would be to use a separate set of gains. We could re-use the forward flight gains for the control surfaces, but we would have to work out a scheme to account for the prop wash speed-scaling effects. This is starting to touch on dealing with redundancy of over-actuated systems, I have done a little reading, as far as I can tell common methodology s for this do not work well with PID schemes without having a plant model so we can estimate the the resulting rate from the actuator outputs.

Gyroflow logging

ArduPilot:master ← IamPete1:gyro_flow_log

This adds a log with fields dedicated to the info Gyroflow needs. It is logged i…n the fast loop on copter and in ahrs update on plane and rover. https://github.com/ElvinC/gyroflow Of course all the info is already available, but for Gyroflow the faster the better, this is significantly less overhead than enabling fast attitude logging which is the only other way to get 400 hz filtered gyro data. It is not enabled by defualt. Not sure how people feel about logging directly in the fast loops, we do it for IMU on plane already, but not copter. https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/issues/19376

Reduce number of log IDs allocated to vehicles, rearrange

With the following patch: ``` --- a/ArduPlane/ArduPlane.cpp +++ b/ArduPlane/A…rduPlane.cpp @@ -286,6 +286,9 @@ extern AP_IOMCU iomcu; void Plane::one_second_loop() { + + gcs().send_text(MAV_SEVERITY_INFO, "SCR=%u MODE=%u CMDH=%u", LOG_SCRIPTING_MSG, LOG_MODE_MSG, LOG_CMDH_MSG); + // make it possible to change control channel ordering at runtime set_control_channels(); ``` I get the following output: ``` AP: SCR=197 MODE=112 CMDH=16 ``` Which means we have 57 ids "after the break" - available for `logger.Log_write(...)` and `logger.LogWriteStreaming(...)` to use. We don't have that many calls - and if anyone's using more in scripting then they're almost certainly doing something very wrong... This also introduces a gap before `FMT` - before this patch `MODE` was 127. That's very silly as anybody adding a logging message to e.g. NavEKF3 would get a compilation failure as it would push `MODE` past `FMT`! Also adds a comment to warn people of the 32-id limit. Plane's the largest user of vehicle-specific IDs with 17 defined. Also corrected a bad sanity check. Tidied the vehicle definitions up to remove absolute setting of specific IDs (not needed), and to make enumerations in the two vehicles where we were using defines. Tested only with the autotest suite and a very small amount in SITL. Edit: I flashed Rover onto CubeBlack and had a look at a produced log. All looked in order.

RC: fixed serial protocol detection bug

This fixes a bug that caused RC input on the PH4-mini to fail if the transmitter… was on when board was booted. See https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/sbus-rc-receivers-on-pixhawk4-mini/78789/8 The cause was a change in CRSF and Spektrum telem to check if a RCIN port was configured by calling find_serial(). That had the side effect of resetting the serial port options for SERIAL4 to the base options in SERIAL4_OPTIONS, which unset the RXINV bit. That left the port without inversion, which caused the protocol to fail.

AP_SmartAudio: fix a bug that would starve the lower priority thread

ArduPilot:Plane-4.1 ← MingchenZhang:Plane-4.1

Issue: when using smartaudio, lua script only get to run once right after a chan…ge to the vtx setting. Usually scheduled update in lua script does not run normally. In the original code, if the smartaudio is initialized, and no other request is issued, delay() would not be executed in the loop and lower priority thread would be starved. Change to OR to allow thread yield when no response is expected. roughly tested with a smartaudio enabled arduplane.

UTC1102 - Report CRSF link quality in place of RSSI by julesgilson · Pull Request #19042 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

use link quality in place of RSSI in CRSF
Thanks to julesgilson for first contribution

UTC1104 - AP_OSD: fix code causing errors while compiling out OSD by shiv-tyagi · Pull Request #19146 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Q_option to force fw transition on fail instead of qland
Test flown today
CI broken right now
- Enforcing holiday break on developers
Still does qland if option not set
MergeOnCIPass

UTC1108 - AP_Scripting: add support for getting fw version by IamPete1 · Pull Request #19397 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Add support for ArduPilot version numbers in scripts
MdB requested individual fields which has been done, but review still outstanding
Can be merged if MdB is happy

UTC1111 - Plane: tailsitter: add gains to scale control surface vs motors by IamPete1 · Pull Request #19463 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Scaling fix for copter tailsitters
Pitch with motors or elevators? This allows you to set gains separately to surfaces vs motors is adjustable
Current default of 1 means no change
Wikineeded
Conflicting PIDs may cause oscillation
- This is the sensible approach
- SLT quadplanes have the two-pid problem
  - Desired rates are linked to help avoid it
Merged

UTC1118 - Gyroflow logging by IamPete1 · Pull Request #19531 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Adds dedicated message for gyroflow video stabilization
Our IMU data is filtered….
- Get_gyro and get_accell
- But not bias-corrected
300 bytes of flash
Off by default and a custom build server thing?
Scripting?
Needs to be full-rate logging
Quaternion isn’t used ATM but PH threw it in anyway
Need RATE and IMU and accel biases
- RATE message isn’t relevant in plane fixed wing (most of the fields)
Does the thing have legs?
- Randy worked on the DPTH message
  - Worked quite well
There’s a PR against gyroflow
This needs to correct for center-of-focus on the camera
VSTB rather than GFLO?
Randy likes domain-specific methods
- Makes it easy for users to use the feature
Feedback from gyroflow labs would be nice

UTC1136 - Pr fix multiple includes by Jaaaky · Pull Request #19538 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Fix multiple includes
Merged!

UTC1138 - AP_BattMonitor: Remove double cast in mah calculation by arBalasquide · Pull Request #19540 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Needs copyright fixed
Can be merged out of call once copyright issue is fixed

UTC1140 - Reduce number of log IDs allocated to vehicles, rearrange by peterbarker · Pull Request #19562 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Adjusts log ids to be more sensibly allocated
Merged

UTC1142 - RC_Channel: added RC_SWITCH_TYPE parameter by tridge · Pull Request #19568 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Adds rc switch type to allow for radiomaster tx16s push-buttons work nicely
- Surprisingly tricky right now
Use rc channel options instead
Massive GCS changes required
Even this one would need the GCS to be fixed
GCS needs to know the thresholds to get interfaces correct
Two-channel-mixing in ArduPilot would be quite nice

UTC1155 - RC: fixed serial protocol detection bug by tridge · Pull Request #19576 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Fixes regression
Crsf change for no serial port
Find_serial changes options
New have_serial
AP_RCProtocol bug too
- If redetection set and you detected via bytes (on uart) it would never re detect correctly by not re-searching
Serialn_option is a relatively new thing and we’re still bedding it in
- Find_serial, get uart, call serial manager to set options sounded a bit clunky
- So find_serial set options for you
Doesn’t just affect pixhawk4 mini
How did this bug get out there?
- Beta testing didn’t catch it?
- Most people don’t run the betas
- 80-odd flight controllers in many configurations!
  - Multiply probabilities you end up with small numbers
- Timer-capture rc input doesn’t have this
- We can do all protocols on both ports
- Rcin port is serial4 uart on pixhawk4 minit
- Most other things are timer-capture
4.1 there are three boards which are affected
Merged, will be in next Plane stable too

UTC0008 - AP_SmartAudio: fix a bug that would starve the lower priority thread by MingchenZhang · Pull Request #19579 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Smartaudio fix for too much CPU
- May starve e.g. scripts
Delay 100 is ineffective
Should be backported
merged

UTC0010 - AP_BoardConfig: disable STLink debug pins by default by tridge · Pull Request #19559 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Backport for st-link debug pins
ESD (“stray electron”) could cause flight controller to reboot
Pressing debug connector on board would cause reboot!
Disable by default
BRD_OPTIONS to enable the debug pins
Why not on AP_Periph?
- No BRD_OPTIONS
- Consequences are less severe on Periph
- It probably should be but too much bother right now
Pull-ups PR also coming soon
- Our config floats these pins
- Sid makes them asserted one way or the other
We do have an option to assert lines to pull things down
- Some boards are using that
- Modalai pixracer pro pixracer periph and one more board
- ST electronics say we should pull low by default
  - … but current draw….
  - Defaults here is one-up, one-down….
mRo don’t even make the board in question but found the problem for us
Will need to offer partners running 4.0 a patch
This will go into the next Copter stable rc
- Rc2
- Ph4-mini as well
- And crsf patch

UTC0025 - Plane update

New 4.1.6 beta coming soon with fixes discussed on this call in it
Synthetic airspeed bug?
- Important but hasn’t been looked at yet

UTC0026 - Copter: 4.1.0 issues list · Issue #16478 · ArduPilot/ardupilot · GitHub

Copter update
Rc2 today probably
Some more issues have come up this week
Set-position-target-local-ned ignore yaw/ignore-yaw-rate might be interpreted incorrectly?
Yaapu not working on omnibusf4?
Copter-4.1 not working if using a fresh repository
- Tridge has fixed this one!
Rc2 and plane 4.1.6
- Double-rebase showed up some stuff
  - Invensesense sensors
  - Covariance row reset
  - Autotune rate limits
  - They’re all good!

UTC0029 - Rover-4.1.3-rc1 released for beta testing - #2

balance -bot broken in acro mode?
- Regression from 4.0 to 4.1?
D-shot still to be looked at
4.1.3 beta test is out there

UTC0032 - Heli update

In-flight motor shutdown
- Met criteria for landing
- H-collective-mid land-complete-maybe
- Did stuff as-designed…
- H-collective-mid at zero is recommended
  - Shouldn’t be descending at zero
  - Max-was 140pwm above that
  - Min was 140pwm below that
  - Typical for helicopters
  - Symmetric, 3d setup
  - Collective was all the way down?
    - H-collective-mid was probably not set up correctly
- Tridge doesn’t like the detection being payload dependent
- Heli might want a much more extended time before disarm is done?
- Rising air can fool vehicles
  - Slope lift on side of hill
  - Extending the time doesn’t stop it from happening
    - Transients mean you won’t “land”
- Mid isn’t supposed to be half-way between the two endpoints
- Maybe have a regime people go through to determine things?
  - E.g. do a 1m/s descent rate, check the hcol-mid
Big clear warnings in Wiki that this is a dangerous parameter and one you should pay attention to
Option to disable the detection regime and have an option for force-landed
- Use a switch to disarm?
Two-position switch to disable detector
Auto modes won’t detect landing if in auto and not in a landing sequence
- Disarm happened at 50m

UTC0052 - –out for waf not working?

Tridge tested it as working
- –out requires an absolute path

UTC0059 - happy holidays to all

Thanks to Craig for running these calls

UTC0059 - close
