Custom gimbal control

[dogmaphobic]

Showing how to implement a custom gimbal control (re-using the virtual joystick control)
Also adding a setting so the user can enable/disable the control.

@dogmaphobic Pretty cool.

1. How do I enable this if I want it on my customer version
2. How do you expect people discover this example? (and similarly the navigation item you created)?

Perhaps a page in the dev guide? https://dev.qgroundcontrol.com/en/

Just rename "custom-example" to "custom" before loading the project in Qt Creator. If you had a build already, you will need to delete the build directory (run qmake again). If you do this all the time, it's simpler to just create a symlink (ln -s custom-example custom).

2. How do you expect people discover this example? (and similarly the navigation item you created)?

Good question. Not sure what the best way to document it.

Yasen did a cool PR today updating the entire color palette for the custom build to show how it's done: #7633

I am. See mavlink/qgc-dev-guide#70

In theory could "seed" this in a week or so. But I don't know enough about what makes a custom control and how it gets hooked into the system - ie what does someone else need to know to extend this vs fully replace it vs just learn how to create an arbitrary control.

Further, this is a modified joystick control. Does it play nice if someone adds a joystick?

PS (Edited). I have a tendency to want to document "end to end" and everything for all people. But that might not be necessary for the level of users you're targeting. The minimal here is that they should know this exists and how to enable it. For gimbal then the question of "right level so that people can learn from it" really depends on what you think is best.
