This lowers the effort required to turn off just one arming check. Previously, a user had to disable the ALL bit and enable every check except the undesired one. Now they can just disable that one directly. Hopefully this will result in less vehicles with no arming checks whatsoever, presuming only one check is giving the user grief. This, as a side effect, removes the difference between the ALL bit set and all non-ALL bits set (e.g. the latter disables IMU heater checks). It also ensures the user will get any new arming checks even if they have skipped one. People who need to disable all current and future checks for e.g. bench testing can still do this efficiently by setting the parameter to `-1`, leveraging that this sets all bits in 2s complement arithmetic. A parameter conversion is included that skips no checks if the old ALL bit is set; otherwise it migrates the user's selected checks. If no checks were enabled, it disables all current and future checks.
ArduPilot Project
ArduPilot is the most advanced, full-featured, and reliable open source autopilot software available. It has been under development since 2010 by a diverse team of professional engineers, computer scientists, and community contributors. Our autopilot software is capable of controlling almost any vehicle system imaginable, from conventional airplanes, quad planes, multi-rotors, and helicopters to rovers, boats, balance bots, and even submarines. It is continually being expanded to provide support for new emerging vehicle types.
The ArduPilot project is made up of:
