3.5RC_Channel 和 SRV_channel

前言

 这部分是之前在折腾ROVER的时候梳理了一遍，但是没有形成记录，现在从新从对象的角度来分析一遍，包括映射、转换、数据结构...等方面进行梳理；

数据结构

 首先分析的入口是从Rover::read_radio()的函数进行，我们就从这里为入口并作为本次分析的主线来进行阐述：

void Rover::read_radio(){//1如果没有新的RC信号，执行失控保护  if (!hal.rcin->new_input()) {  control_failsafe(channel_throttle->get_radio_in());  return;  }  failsafe.last_valid_rc_ms = AP_HAL::millis();  //获取所有RC通道,并根据初始设定的方式[angle/range]按设置范围归一化保存至control_in中  RC_Channels::set_pwm_all();  control_failsafe(channel_throttle->get_radio_in());  //2处理伺服辅助功能  SRV_Channels::set_output_scaled(SRV_Channel::k_throttle,channel_throttle->get_control_in());  // Check if the throttle value is above 50% and we need to nudge  // Make sure its above 50% in the direction we are travelling  ....  ...  ..  //3开启舵机平滑  if (g.skid_steer_in) {  // convert the two radio_in values from skid steering values  float motor1 = channel_steer->norm_input();  float motor2 = channel_throttle->norm_input();  float steering_scaled = motor1 - motor2;  float throttle_scaled = 0.5f*(motor1 + motor2);  int16_t steer = channel_steer->get_radio_trim();  int16_t thr = channel_throttle->get_radio_trim();  channel_steer->set_pwm(steer);  channel_throttle->set_pwm(thr);  ....  ...  ..  //4舵机解锁检测  rudder_arm_disarm_check();}

这里涉及到的几个对象单独罗列出来进行分析：
RC_Channel
RC_Channels
SRV_Channel
SRV_Channels

RC_Channels

 首先是RC_Channels，从下面的定义来看内部定义了很多静态函数，并定义了定义了一组RC_Channel的数组以及指针，RC_Channels::set_pwm_all(void)的主要作用直接读取hal.rcin的值按range/angle转换并保存至control_in中；这里先不深入研究。

/*  class RC_Channels. Hold the full set of RC_Channel objects*/class RC_Channels {public:  friend class SRV_Channels;                          #申明SRV_Channels是其友元类  // constructor  RC_Channels(void);                                  #构造函数，并对channels[i].ch_in赋值通道号  static const struct AP_Param::GroupInfo var_info[];  static RC_Channel *rc_channel(uint8_t chan) {     　#返回RC_Channles[chan]指针  return (chan < NUM_RC_CHANNELS)?&channels[chan]:nullptr;  }  static void set_pwm_all(void);private:  // this static arrangement is to avoid static pointers in AP_Param tables  static RC_Channel *channels;                       #指向obj_channels[NUM_RC_CHANNELS]的首地址  RC_Channel obj_channels[NUM_RC_CHANNELS];};

总的来说RC_Channels就是一个定义了RC_Channel数组长度[16]且具备操作所有通道的输出的类;

RC_Channel

 接下来就是RC_Channel，主要是抽象出了单个通道的数据结构，下面先从成员变量进行分析；

/// @class RC_Channel/// @brief Object managing one RC channelclass RC_Channel {public:  friend class SRV_Channels;  friend class RC_Channels;  // Constructor  RC_Channel(void);  // used to get min/max/trim limit value based on _reverse  enum LimitValue {  RC_CHANNEL_LIMIT_TRIM,  RC_CHANNEL_LIMIT_MIN,  RC_CHANNEL_LIMIT_MAX  };  // startup  void load_eeprom(void);  void save_eeprom(void);  void save_trim(void);  // setup the control preferences，设置获取通道数值范围/反相/死区的方法  void set_range(uint16_t high);  void set_angle(uint16_t angle);  bool get_reverse(void) const;  void set_default_dead_zone(int16_t dzone);  uint16_t get_dead_zone(void) const { return dead_zone; }  // get the center stick position expressed as a control_in value  int16_t get_control_mid() const;  // read input from hal.rcin - create a control_in value  void set_pwm(int16_t pwm);  void set_pwm_no_deadzone(int16_t pwm);  // calculate an angle given dead_zone and trim. This is used by the quadplane code  // for hover throttle  int16_t pwm_to_angle_dz_trim(uint16_t dead_zone, uint16_t trim);  /*  return a normalised input for a channel, in range -1 to 1,  centered around the channel trim. Ignore deadzone.  归一化通道的数值为[-1,1]  */  float norm_input();  /*  return a normalised input for a channel, in range -1 to 1,  centered around the channel trim. Take into account the deadzone  归一化通道的数值为[-1,1],增加死区  */  float norm_input_dz();  uint8_t percent_input();  int16_t pwm_to_range();  int16_t pwm_to_range_dz(uint16_t dead_zone);  // read the input value from hal.rcin for this channel，从硬件抽象层中获取RC信号  uint16_t read() const;  // read input from hal.rcin and set as pwm input for channel  void input();  static const struct AP_Param::GroupInfo var_info[];  // return true if input is within deadzone of trim  bool in_trim_dz();  int16_t get_radio_in() const { return radio_in;}  void set_radio_in(int16_t val) {radio_in = val;}  int16_t get_control_in() const { return control_in;}  void set_control_in(int16_t val) { control_in = val;}  // get control input with zero deadzone  int16_t get_control_in_zero_dz(void);  int16_t get_radio_min() const {return radio_min.get();}  void set_radio_min(int16_t val) { radio_min = val;}  int16_t get_radio_max() const {return radio_max.get();}  void set_radio_max(int16_t val) {radio_max = val;}  int16_t get_radio_trim() const { return radio_trim.get();}  void set_radio_trim(int16_t val) { radio_trim.set(val);}  void save_radio_trim() { radio_trim.save();}  bool min_max_configured() const  {  return radio_min.configured() && radio_max.configured();  }private:  // pwm is stored here  // RC通道读出的原始值的保存位置  int16_t radio_in;  // value generated from PWM normalised to configured scale  // RC通道原始值经过归一化和配置后的保存位置  int16_t control_in;  AP_Int16 radio_min;     #RC通道原始值的最小值  AP_Int16 radio_trim;    #RC通道原始值的中位值  AP_Int16 radio_max;     #RC通道原始值的最大值  AP_Int8 reversed;       ＃RC通道反相标志  AP_Int16 dead_zone;     ＃RC通道死区  uint8_t type_in;        ＃RC输入值类型是角度还是范围  int16_t high_in;  // the input channel this corresponds to  uint8_t ch_in;          ＃RC通道号  int16_t pwm_to_angle();  int16_t pwm_to_angle_dz(uint16_t dead_zone);};

 所有从上面的数据结构就可以看出，RC_Channel抽象的RC通道如上面注释所描述，其成员函数主要是围绕变量的设置...

在初始的通道号分配时，还涉及到RCMapper rcmap，这个主要是通道映射，在其构造函数中，通过const AP_Param::GroupInfo RCMapper::var_info[]对其成员变量进行赋值，根本上还是对通道进行映射；

RCMapper

class RCMapper{public:  /// Constructor  ///  RCMapper();  /// roll - return input channel number for roll / aileron input  uint8_t roll() const { return _ch_roll; }  /// pitch - return input channel number for pitch / elevator input  uint8_t pitch() const { return _ch_pitch; }  /// throttle - return input channel number for throttle input  uint8_t throttle() const { return _ch_throttle; }  /// yaw - return input channel number for yaw / rudder input  uint8_t yaw() const { return _ch_yaw; }  /// forward - return input channel number for forward input  uint8_t forward() const { return _ch_forward; }  /// lateral - return input channel number for lateral input  uint8_t lateral() const { return _ch_lateral; }  static const struct AP_Param::GroupInfo var_info[];private:  // channel mappings  AP_Int8 _ch_roll;  AP_Int8 _ch_pitch;  AP_Int8 _ch_yaw;  AP_Int8 _ch_throttle;  AP_Int8 _ch_forward;  AP_Int8 _ch_lateral;};const AP_Param::GroupInfo RCMapper::var_info[] = {  // @Param: ROLL  // @DisplayName: Roll channel  // @Description: Roll channel number.  // @Range: 1 8  // @Increment: 1  // @User: Advanced  // @RebootRequired: True  AP_GROUPINFO("ROLL", 0, RCMapper, _ch_roll, 1),  AP_GROUPINFO("PITCH", 1, RCMapper, _ch_pitch, 2),  AP_GROUPINFO("THROTTLE", 2, RCMapper, _ch_throttle, 3),  AP_GROUPINFO("YAW", 3, RCMapper, _ch_yaw, 4),  AP_GROUPINFO_FRAME("FORWARD", 4, RCMapper, _ch_forward, 6, AP_PARAM_FRAME_SUB),  AP_GROUPINFO_FRAME("LATERAL", 5, RCMapper, _ch_lateral, 7, AP_PARAM_FRAME_SUB),};

最终在使用的时候：
1.只需要定义一个RC_Channel的指针;
2.然后通过RC_Channels::rc_channel()返回一个实际通道指针;
3.实际通道指针的映射存在于RCMapper::var_info[]；
关于使用上面三点了解了也就基本能使用了，接下来深入一点就是这个ＰＷＭ的值究竟是怎么来的，从RC_Channel类中不难发现：

voidRC_Channel::input(){  radio_in = hal.rcin->read(ch_in);}uint16_tRC_Channel::read() const{  return hal.rcin->read(ch_in);}

 上述两个方法的中调用都涉及到了hal.rcin，从RCInput可以找到相关实现，最终可以找到是通过orb_copy(ORB_ID(input_rc), _rc_sub, &_rcin);来获取的到外部输入的RC 信号的；

void PX4RCInput::_timer_tick(void){  perf_begin(_perf_rcin);  bool rc_updated = false;  if (orb_check(_rc_sub, &rc_updated) == 0 && rc_updated) {  pthread_mutex_lock(&rcin_mutex);  orb_copy(ORB_ID(input_rc), _rc_sub, &_rcin);  pthread_mutex_unlock(&rcin_mutex);  }  // note, we rely on the vehicle code checking new_input()  // and a timeout for the last valid input to handle failsafe  perf_end(_perf_rcin);}

 通过全局搜索我们可以在PX4Firmware/src/driver/px4_fmu/fmu.cpp中找到下面的函数，传输的_rc_in则是通过void

PX4FMU::fill_rc_in（）来进行填充的，也就是我们拿到的原始包含pwm的值；

voidPX4FMU::cycle_trampoline(void *arg){PX4FMU *dev = reinterpret_cast<PX4FMU *>(arg);dev->cycle();}

而cycle中就有通过UORB发布input_rc的话题，同时调用了work_queue进行循环，仔细一看就会发现这个函数里面还有对安全开关的操作；

// slave safety from IO...../* check arming state */.....if (rc_updated) {/* lazily advertise on first publication */if (_to_input_rc == nullptr) {     _to_input_rc = orb_advertise(ORB_ID(input_rc), &_rc_in);} else {     orb_publish(ORB_ID(input_rc), _to_input_rc, &_rc_in);}}

work_queue(HPWORK, &_work, (worker_t)&PX4FMU::cycle_trampoline, this,
USEC2TICK(SCHEDULE_INTERVAL - main_out_latency));
到这里基本上能明白的是px4_fmu也是公共继承了CDev的类和之前的I2C、SPI一样都是属于字符型驱动；相同情况px4_io也是同样的是公共继承了CDev的字符类驱动；从nsh的终端上“ls dev”也可以看出，px对fmu和io的抽象，按照官网说明那样fmu和io之间是通过串口进行通信的，而在fmu的work_queue中还没有发现相关源码。这里需要在整理；

SRV_Channel

 SRV_Channel是对输出通道的抽象出的数据结构，枚举了所有PWM通道；实现了单个SRV_Channel的从信号的输入到输出的计算，并且附加了对通道数值的类型和限幅操作；

SRV_Channels

 与SRV_Channel互为友元类，在成员变量上定义了SRV_Channels的类数组，方法上更对是对SRV_Channel的补充，例如设置中位、设置失控保护值....

下面分析一个简单的例子：

首先指定通道function（类中枚举的值）和待写入的value，这个值会被保存在functions[function].output_scaled中；void SRV_Channels::set_output_scaled(SRV_Channel::Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)； | VSCHED_TASK(set_servos, 50, 1500),//全部PWM输出这里会周期执行，里面会计算来自RC信号/其他填充的信号 | V先调用SRV_Channels::calc_pwm();再执行SRV_Channels::output_ch_all(); | Vchannels[i].output_ch();//最终回归到SRV_Channel 定义的channels[i]数组 | Vhal.rcout->write(ch_num, output_pwm);//调用AP_HAL执行输出；/// map a function to a servo channel and output itvoid SRV_Channel::output_ch(void){  int8_t passthrough_from = -1;  // take care of special function cases，根据通道的编号进行不同处理，1,[51,66]k_rcin1~k_rcin16均为直通信号  switch(function)  {  case k_manual: // manual    passthrough_from = ch_num;  break;  case k_rcin1 ... k_rcin16: // rc pass-thru，转换后的通道编号为0~15    passthrough_from = int8_t(function - k_rcin1);  break;  case k_motor1 ... k_motor8:    // handled by AP_Motors::rc_write()  return;  }  if (passthrough_from != -1) {  // we are doing passthrough from input to output for this channel  RC_Channel *rc = RC_Channels::rc_channel(passthrough_from);  if (rc) {  if (SRV_Channels::passthrough_disabled()) {       output_pwm = rc->get_radio_trim();  } else {       output_pwm = rc->get_radio_in();  }  }  }  hal.rcout->write(ch_num, output_pwm);//直接通过抽象层输出，这里继续往下就要看回AP_HAL_PX下的RCOutput.cpp}

总结

RC_Channel、RC_Channels、SRV_Channel、SRV_Channels这4个类都是基于hal.rcin和hal.rcout与硬件沟通的；
