This module and its associated settings uavo can be used
to test various fault conditions during initialization.
To enable the module, add the TEST_FAULTS=YES to your make
command line:
make fw_coptercontrol TEST_FAULTS=YES
Once this module is part of your firmware load, you can
enable it in the hwsettings uavo and then select the
type of fault to insert by editing the faultsettings uavo.
On the next reset, the configured fault will be inserted
into the init sequence to allow you to test the boot fault
recovery code.
With a fault inserted, you should see 3 failed boot attempts
followed by a successful (recovery) boot. You will see the
BootFault alarm set to Critical, and the RAM version of your
hwsettings will be reset to defaults. Since the defaults have
all optional modules disabled, the fault module will be out of
the way during the recovery boot.
You can then "Load" the flash version of the hwsettings uavo
in the object browser, disable the Fault module and then "Save"
the hwsettings module back to the board. The next reset will
boot normally without the fault inserted.
TelemetrySettings object removed (saved 200+ bytes of RAM). Telemetry
port speed moved to the HwSettings object. Added GPS port speed setting.
GCS code updated to reflect changes and support both fields.
This allows the GCS to emulate a receiver device via the
telemetry link.
Select "GCS" as your input type in the manualcontrol config
screen and calibrate it as normal.
Note: The expected values for the channels are in microseconds
just like a PWM or PPM input device. The channel values
are validated against minimum/maximum pulse lengths just
like normal receivers.
This will allow us to build a parent project for
qt-creator that sits above both openpilotgcs and
uavobjgenerator so that we can build both projects
at the same time.
