Signature of Predictor::configure must match AnalogComponent::configure,
otherwise the inherited method isn't overridden.
=> predictor couldn't be configured.
=> speed predictor rules in "generic-autopilot-helper.xml" weren't working.
The autopilot has grown beyond being just an autopilot. It's
components, filters and controllers could be used to set property
values based on complex rules and driven from other property values.
That's why I chose to give it the name "property-rule".
This patch allows to define an arbitrary number of property rules under
a/sim/property-rule[n]/path
using the same syntax as autopilot configurations.
Add helper to look for an aircraft branch path in multiple candidate locations.
Update the main subsystems to use the helper, and hence load from any aircraft dir.
- Respect the global inverted flag in the get_output() method
- Check the clock state before processing the static R/S inputs
- Emit debug output only on a state change
Split the former single-file-implementation in xmlauto.?xx into multiple
files and use some OO techniques. Started with documentation to be used
with doxygen.
- reuse code
- undeclared inputs default to false where applicable
- remove unused tInput
- JK, D and T FF now inherit from RS with dominant R input, so they all
have a R and a S input to preset the output
- fix the nonfunctional <inverted> element of the logic element
Old calculation was
output = input * gain
and is now
output = (input-reference) * gain
Note: the PI(D) controller use (reference-input) which effectively reverses the sign. Our notation was picked for backwards compatibility to not break the myriads of <filter> elements currently existing.
All the rest is some code cleanup.
"logic filters" use well known conditions to drive output properties. Example for bax = baz & (foo | bar).
<logic>
<name>my first logic element</name>
<input>
<or>
<property>foo</property>
<property>bar</property>
</or>
<property>baz</property>
</input>
<output>bax</output>
</logic>
Supports various new editing features, including dragging to re-order, and
+/- keys to adjust the target altitude for a waypoint. Also displays some
additional information, and will display *even* more once I land airways/
SID/STAR support.
