Add parameters

1

Hello everyone,
I am currently working on the src/lib/mixer/MultirotorMixer part of px4. I need to add parameters but my different tries end up unsuccessfully.

Test 1 : Following the documentation Parameters & Configs · PX4 Developer Guide I tried to use the cpp API and added

#include <px4_module_params.h>

to the file src/lib/mixer/MultirotorMixer/MultirotorMixer.hpp
==> the file dooesn’t exist anymore.
So I took example on the other files using parameters and tried replace it by

#include <px4_platform_common/module_params.h>

==> I end up with the following error:

fatal error: parameters/px4_parameters_public.h: No such file or directory

Indeed the parameters/px4_parameters_public.h is generated afterward … So I tried to modified the CMakefile.txt by tranforming

add_library(MultirotorMixer
	MultirotorMixer.cpp
	MultirotorMixer.hpp

	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor.generated.h
	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor_normalized.generated.h
	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor_6dof.generated.h
	)

into px4 version to ensure the parameters of my file src/lib/mixer/MultirotorMixer/params.c are processed

px4_add_library(MultirotorMixer
	MultirotorMixer.cpp
	MultirotorMixer.hpp

	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor.generated.h
	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor_normalized.generated.h
	${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/mixer_multirotor_6dof.generated.h
	)

with no success.

Test 2:
I tried to used The C API with int param_get(param_t param, void *val); and it works fine with the gazebo simulation ( make px4_sitl gazebo) but when I try to build the fmu version (make px4_fmu-v3)I have the following error :

undefined reference to `param_get'

Could someone point out my mistakes and give me a working way to add new parameters ?
Thanks in advance,
Best,

Alexis D.

After few tests I found out that MultirotorMixer is build with an empty version of parameters. This is why I got undefined reference to `param_get'.

Does that mean that MultirotorMixer is considered too low level to use parameters ?
