Releasing a hat button did not lead to _executeButtonAction being called with BUTTON_UP. This adds the hat buttons to lastBbuttonValues, such that the button-up transitions for hat buttons are recorded.
- Allows operator to close/open the gripper using a button assigned
- Rename Gripper Grab/Release into Close/Open for clarity
- Add comments regarding Gripper functionality
In case when you would like to bind some MAV commands
to some joystick's buttons, you can now create a json file
which will be parsed at runtime.
It is usefull when you need to send a custom command from the joystick.
But this command is not supported by the firmware, or not relevant to be included to QGC.
Example:
Create a file JoystickMavCommands.json and place it with a binary:
"commands": [
{
"id": 31010,
"name": "Enable Autonomy",
"param1": 1.0
}
]
After executing the QGC, you will be able to bind "Enable Autonomy" to a button,
by clicking to the button, MAV_CMD_USER_1 (31010) with param1 1.0 will be sent.
If there is no json file, nothing will happen.
This fixes a pure virtual method call exception during exit when a joystick
is connected.
The problem was that ~Joystick() waited for the thread to exit, while the
thread called the virtual method _close(). But at this point the destructor
of the derived class (JoystickSDL in my case) was already called.
To resolve the problem a separate stop() method is added that is called
before deleting the object.
Support up to 64 buttons, not limit to 16
Send a single button command and not a stream of commands at 25Hz
Send button commands through signals (it's coming from a different thread)
Hide gimbal support through analog channels (there are no MAVLink messages to handle it)
Some digital joysticks have already this correction
Add habilit to add or removecircle correction
