Gyro calibration #6

Closed Thonners closed 3 years ago

Thonners commented 4 years ago

User should be able to calibrate the gyro before flight to take out any DC noise from the signal (also allows for working out which way is 'up' on the accelerometers)

Outputs:

Allow zeroing of the gyro signals when stationary
Determine the orientation of the accelerometer?
- Will require extra movement, or an assumption that it's aligned in all but a Y axis sense (i.e. it could be rotated about Y)

Jobs:

[x] Add calibration button request processing to the GamePad
[x] Add processing of the calibration request to the server
[x] Actually do the calibration / zeroing of the gyro sensor
[x] Try to determine the offset / angle of the acceleromter from the DC signals when stationary

No need to calculate the accelerometer orientation at this stage - can just use the static readings in the calculation later

Implemented and seems to be working.
