Summary
This adds a GNSS rotation-based heading bootstrap for setups where the GPS/GNSS antenna is not mounted at
base_link.In my OpenMower setup the antenna has a lever arm relative to
base_link, so robot rotation makes the antenna trace a small arc. The observed GNSS displacement, relative yaw from odometry/gyro, and configured lever arm can infer absolute heading before normal track-based heading is reliable.Additional change:
Is extracted into parameter. In my case, with RTK, GPS jitter is much less, so min speed threshold can be lowered down. Happy to extract it into a separate PR.
The PR also includes small ROS compatibility fixes needed in Jazzy. (should not be a part of this PR)
Status
This is WIP.
I have only done a quick/superficial validation in simulation so far. I have not yet tested this on real hardware in an outdoor environment. I plan to do that in the coming days.
