New Test Suite

The old Ardupilot test suite was great, but hard to maintain. I just did a new one, but this time, I've built it into Ardupilot itself.

In your config file for 2.7 you will see DEBUG_SUBSYSTEM at the top.

Here are the values:

0 = no debug

1 = Debug the Radio input

2 = Debug the Servo output

3 = Debug the Sensor input

4 = Debug the GPS input

5 = Debug the GPS input - RAW HEX OUTPUT

6 = Debug the IMU output

7 = Debug the Control Switch

Each one will output only serial data for each subsystem, making it easy for you to isolate problems and verify things are working as they should.

Heh all, I've been using the new test suite to great effect, but I'm seeing a particularily queer result. I turned on the servo demo, and now the APM goes into the servo demo any time it's connected to USB.

Anyone else seeing this behavior ?

Great Idea!
Will really help with troubleshooting!

Sweet! I'll try to test and update the manual this weekend. Can you post some normal result data sets?
