Ethz Piksi Ros Versions Save

Requirements: LibSBP 2.2.15 (installed automatically when running 'piksi_multi_rtk_ros/install/install.sh') and Piksi Multi Firmware v1.2.14.

New additions:

• Various bug fixes;
• Improved install script.

New additions:

• fix launch file for geodetic_survey to use correct name of the node (and remove debugging print);
• use const strings in message definition to identify fix_mode, instead of hard coded strings in code;
• GUI now checks the type of fixes and change its color in a similar fashion as Piksi console.

• Default ROS driver baud rate = 230400;
• New IPs range: 192.168.0.x

We restart version numbering from 1.0.0, but this release is actually the next one of mav_rtk_gps v1.2.

Since this is a new repo, containing only ROS driver for Piksi we preferred to start "from the scratch".

• usage of libsbp 2.2.15: https://github.com/swift-nav/libsbp/releases/tag/v2.2.15
• relying on latest Piksi Multi Firmware (1.2), i.e. every Piksi Multi must update its firmware;
• RQT GUI now has two tabs: general status and a debug section with more information;
• new message: "age of corrections", to check how old the correction message currently used is;
• draft sbp messages (like TrackingState) now include the sbp version number in their name, so it is clear to which sbp version they belong to and do not need to be deleted when there is a new version of them;
• signal strength "cn0" is now expressed in [dB Hz/4] instead of the previous [dB Hz];
• rosservices now allow to write, read and save firmware settings to flash memory of Piksi Multi;
• 'roslaunch piksi_multi_rtk_gps geodetic_survey.launch' now allows to survey the position of the base station and save the result to Piksi's flash.
