Implement Manual Preflight Confirmation State

[cfrankovich]

Description

Overview

Implement a preflight check state in the drone's state machine using SMACC2, requiring manual confirmation before takeoff.

Goal/Purpose

To ensure that all necessary preflight conditions are met and that the drone only takes off after receiving manual approval, enhancing safety and control.

User Story

As a drone operator, I want to have a manual 'OK' confirmation for takeoff, so that I can ensure all preflight checks are completed and the drone is ready for a safe launch.

Acceptance Criteria

1. A new preflight check state is added to the SMACC2 state machine.
2. The drone remains in the preflight state until a manual 'OK' is received.
3. Basic preflight checks (to be detailed later) are incorporated into this state.

Technical Notes

• Preflight Confirmation: Implement a mechanism (such as a button press or command input) to allow the operator to manually signal 'OK' for takeoff.
• State Transition: Ensure the drone transitions from the preflight check state to the takeoff state only after receiving the manual confirmation.
• Safety Measures: Include initial safety measures and checks in the preflight state, with scope for adding comprehensive checks in the future.
