COMMITS

Last week there were 14 commits.
🛠️ Added TI ina226 I2C power monitor (#11755) by davids5
🛠️ [Rover: add airframe configuration for Aion R1 Rover (#12026) * Added Aion R1 airframe

• Tuned PID values for Aion R1
• Changed to generic mixer and cleaned up configuration](d78a842) by ItsTimmy
  🛠️ ManualSmoothVel - Remove unused _param_mpc_jerk_min declaration by bresch
  🛠️ MPC parameters - Update from Matthias' comments Co-Authored-By: Matthias Grob maetugr@gmail.com by bresch
  🛠️ Add jerk parameter for auto mode MPC_JERK_AUTO. Specify when a parameter is only used in a certain manual or auto mode by bresch
  🛠️ px4_poll posix: fix wrap-around for large timeouts timeout is an int, so it wraps when the poll timeout is >2147ms. This happened in logger, resulting in poll never returning. by bkueng
  🛠️ modules/lib: ignore address-of-packed-member For now we need to ignore this warning which GCC 9 shows for the MAVLink headers. by julianoes
  🛠️ drivers: fix -Wstringop-truncation GCC 9 complained about stringop-truncation which is a cautionary message to prevent using strncpy with non-null terminated strings. We can fix this by copying one byte less than the destination size and then manually adding the null termination, as we already do. by julianoes
  🛠️ microcdr and IDL: remove field ordering, causing improper serialization/deserialization by TSC21
  🛠️ pull_request_template: order and phrasing Since I reorder the points every time I open a pull request I thought I might as well propose this order for the template. by MaEtUgR
  🛠️ init.d-posix: $ is apparently not needed here by julianoes
  🛠️ init.d-posix: raise timeouts for fast SITL When simulating with lockstep we can raise the speed by setting the env variable PX4_SIM_SPEED_FACTOR. Some inputs like RC, MAVLink heartbeats from a ground station, or offboard controls via MAVLink are still at the normal speed which leads to timeouts getting detected in PX4. To work around this issue we can automatically multiply the timeout parameters by the speed factor. by julianoes
  🛠️ fmu-v2 & fmu-v5 add missing tone_alarm to example board variants - fixes #12012 by dagar
  🛠️ launch: count multi UAVs from 0 This fixes the IDs of multi UAVs started with ROS/Gazebo. Previously the 3 vehicles were displayed in QGC as Vehicle 2, 3, 4. With this change it is more intuitive Vehicle 1, 2, 3 and this is also consistent with the way it is documented and how it is in jMAVSim. by julianoes
