@MaEtUgR bringing RC cleanup closer to the finish line
PX4:master ← PX4:pr-manual_control_selector
opened 02:04PM - 15 Apr 21 UTC
This adds a new module called manual_control which handles as much as possible o… f RC and MAVLink manual_control input outside of commander.
Fixed wing position control cleanup going on, credits to @Jaeyoung-Lim

@sfuhrer New flight mode for fixed wing. It controls airspeed by pitching but the user can control throttle directly
PX4:master ← PX4:pr-add-airspeed-mode
opened 11:40AM - 16 Jul 21 UTC
The idea of the Airspeed mode is to be the most low level flight mode that still… is safe to fly for inexperienced pilots, as it prevents the vehicle from stalling. Compared to Altitude flight mode, it doesn't require a valid altitude estimate, only airspeed.
It should also be cool for gliders.
The pilot keeps direct control over the throttle, while controlling airspeed on the other stick.
Needs state machine adaptions, plus verification in TECS.
