core: frontend: vehicle-setup: support new ArduSub output functions

Open ES-Alexander opened this issue 4 months ago • 0 comments

Current behaviour

ArduSub stable now has output options for Actuators, and has transitioned the lights functions to dedicated outputs (instead of overloading passthrough of RC input channels).

BlueOS does not yet support those, so users can not make convenient use of BlueOS for managing the latest stable release of their ROV firmware.

Expected or desired behaviour

  1. We should update the relevant Vehicle Setup pages to support controlling those values and displaying them with intuitive names
  2. We should decide on an approach going forwards to identify when such changes are upcoming, so we can avoid this kind of discrepancy in future, as well as deciding how long (if at all) we want to support parameter functionalities that have been removed in the latest firmware (e.g. should we detect ArduSub < 4.5.5 and allow it to continue displaying RCIN9 as Lights 1?)
    • Ideally implementation for these changes would be introduced to BlueOS while the autopilot firmware is still in beta, so stable firmware is always supported (especially for features that currently work but will not with the change)

Prerequisites

  • [x] I have checked to make sure that a similar request has not already been filed or fixed.
