The index is not really a user concern and leads to confusion. gps
baudrate is not set like any other baud date and the determination of an
appropriate index is hidden from the user.
If the user specifies a baudrate that is not supported the default index
is used which is current the index for 115200.
This also allows GPS to work on softserial ports at up to 19200.
There's a number of changes in this commit, all related.
Improved efficiency of preparing HoTT messages.
All HoTT message data is no-longer reset each time, going forward old
data is re-used unless it is updated. This should help with GPS
co-ordinates too since they were erased from subsequent responses when
ideally the last-known co-ordinates should be transmitted each time.
The previous update was sending one too many bytes due to the
aligned/padded uint16_t values in the HoTT data structures. There were
two solutions, use #pragma to pack the structure or avoid larger types
in the structures, the latter made sense and results in more portable
code since it's a wire format.
Updated HoTT structures to use latest message structure from Ardupilot.
Currently the variables are in underscore_format, that will likely
change in future.
Cleaned up and deleted old ported code that was #ifdef'd out. Some test
code still remains for now. This will be deleted in due course.
Introduced bitmask for EAM alarm flags.
Corrected documentation.
systems and Parallel PWM/PPM systems.
Added setting for failsafe_max_usec. Renamed failsafe_detect_threshold
to failsafe_min_usec.
Failsafe now detects when a PPM/PWM RX isn't sending ANY data out on
CH1-4. See documentation notes regarding Graupner receivers in
Failsafe.md.
Documented failsafe system.
own dedicated serial port.
Added a feature to enable/disable RX_MSP.
Renamed feature SERIALRX to RX_SERIAL.
Renamed feature PARALLEL_PWM to RX_PARALLEL_PWM
Renamed PPM to RX_PPM.
Update serial configuration checking to better support Serial RX and
telemetry by verifiying serial port features and supported baud rates.
It's now possible to use a low-speed serial rx provider via softserial -
only problem is all the current serial rx providers are 100000/115200
baud. The code changes however open the door for using serial rx and
any capable serial port such as uart3-5 on the STM32F30x
It's also now possible to use GPS at low speeds on software serial
ports.
