[FEATURE] Choose message stream rates

[1Blademaster]

Would be nice to be able to select custom stream rates in developer settings. Would be local to the session only.

[ProgramPhantom]

Anymore detail on this? What are the developers settings and what are stream rates?

[1Blademaster]

Here is more info about data streams. You can search for data stream or something similar in drone.py to look at implementation. Developer settings is a section of the settings modal that needs to be made.

I think I'd like to limit a specific stream to 10Hz maximum also.

[ProgramPhantom]

Okay, I'll create a tab in settings which only appears when developer options are turned on? Does this work?

[1Blademaster]

I meant a tab that shows developer options, so like changing stream rates can go there, enabling the sitl sim can go there, etc.

[ProgramPhantom]

Looks like this is the approach I'll need to use to do this

Would you like to be able to specify the rate for all 13 data streams?

[ProgramPhantom]

I meant a tab that shows developer options, so like changing stream rates can go there, enabling the sitl sim can go there, etc.

Ah so you want it next to the stil sim button in the "Advanced" Toolbar dropdown? Or are you saying you want this to be a tab in settings and move the stil sim there.

[1Blademaster]

Yes configuring all 23 data streams would be good. And sorry for confusion, I meant there should be a tab in the settings modal that shows developer options, this stream rates select being one of them.

[ProgramPhantom]

Got it. Here only defines these 13 datastreams that work with this REQUEST_DATA_STREAM command. Where are the other 10?

[1Blademaster]

😭 I'm on my phone and GitHub app doesn't autocomplete. I meant 13 not 23.

[ProgramPhantom]

Okay so is this what I need to do:

1. Create frontend Developer tab which appears when the user has developer options turned on
2. Put rate data somewhere in the redux store and ensure settings changes this (need to investigate now this works)
3. Create a controller in drone.py which takes options deciding the data stream and the data rate and sends the command to the drone using MavLink.
4. Create an endpoint in radio which allows this feature to be called from the frontend, and emits a result.
