Purpose

Add a test to prove the reported heading on the geopose interface is REP-103 compliant.

This matches the proposed clarifications here, and can be used as an example in the REP.

scipy is a large library to pull in just for quaternions and rotations. Have you thought about transforms3d (https://matthew-brett.github.io/transforms3d/)?

Yea, I just saw scipy was already used a bunch of places, including in the setup script, and thought the team would prefer a library they are familiar with.

PYTHON_PKGS+=" matplotlib scipy opencv-python pyyaml"

Your link looks like a much more focused library, but the apt version is out of date:

LGTM. Added notes with suggestions, but no blockers.

Could use the same calc as AP_Math here?

float wrap_360(const float angle)
{
    float res = fmodf(angle, 360.0f);
    if (res < 0) {
        res += 360.0f;
    }
    return res;
}

The calc does not wrap 360 deg to 0, not sure if that's an issue (means the function is not invertible).

I pulled this from pymavlink but added recursion so you can handle multi-wrap. If the initial heading was directly north, the comparison would get tricky, but this util is only used in this hard-coded cmac test.


Per ROS REP-103, the quaternion should report 0 when the vehicle faces east,
and 90 degrees when facing north.
Because CMAC is NNW, we expect ~97 degees.

./Tools/autotest/locations.txt has this for CMAC. Heading is 353 => rotation = 97 as described.

Yea, I just had to add a tolerance because the data is through the EAHRS with noise added. Peter mentioned to set the EKF type to match the SIM so it's exact, but we don't depend on mavproxy or support params yet, so I left that out of scope and used a tolerance instead.
