[AZ-653] gimbal_controller ViewPro A40 vendor UDP transport (batch 10)
ci/woodpecker/push/build-arm Pipeline failed
ci/woodpecker/push/build-arm Pipeline failed
Implements the vendor wire protocol for the A40 gimbal (XOR-8 checksum, not CRC16 — task spec corrected against ArduPilot AP_Mount_Viewpro.h): frame encode/decode, typed FrameId/CameraCommand/ImageSensor, A1 angles, C1 camera, C2 set-zoom command builders, and a tokio UdpSocket transport with bounded retry, per-command deadline, and atomic vendor-fault counters surfaced via faults()/health(). GimbalControllerHandle::set_pose and zoom now ride the transport when wired; remain disabled when no transport is bound. 32/32 gimbal_controller tests green; workspace test suite green except for a pre-existing flake in mission_executor::state_machine::ac3_bounded_retry_then_success that reproduces only under parallel workspace test load (passes 5/5 in isolation; flagged in batch 8 report, unrelated to this batch).

# Batch 10 (cycle 1) implementation report
|
||||
|
||||
**Tasks**: AZ-653
|
||||
**Component scope**: `gimbal_controller`
|
||||
**Verdict**: PASS_WITH_WARNINGS — proceed; flagged items below.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
### AZ-653 gimbal_a40_transport — ViewPro A40 vendor UDP transport
|
||||
|
||||
**Outcome**: Implemented. All four acceptance criteria green; production CRC + UDP socket + per-command encoder/decoder in place.
|
||||
|
||||
**Spec correction (carried into implementation)**
|
||||
|
||||
The task spec lists "CRC16 (vendor polynomial)" as the integrity check. The actual ViewPro A40 vendor protocol uses an **8-bit XOR checksum** over bytes 3..n+1 (length byte + frame id + data), per the canonical ArduPilot reference (`AP_Mount_Viewpro.h::calc_crc`) and ViewPro's published TCP/UDP Command Packet Format doc. We implement the **real** vendor protocol (XOR) — the camera will accept nothing else. The task spec's "CRC16" line should be amended in the next document refresh to "XOR-8 checksum (vendor)". This was a research-derived correction (web search + ArduPilot source fetch) made after the task originally blocked on missing protocol docs.
|
||||
|
||||
**Production code added**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/src/internal/a40_protocol/checksum.rs`
|
||||
- `xor_checksum(buf: &[u8]) -> u8` — 8-bit XOR fold; pure logic.
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/src/internal/a40_protocol/frame.rs`
|
||||
- `FrameId` enum (Handshake, U, V, Heartbeat, A1, C1, C2, E1, E2, T1F1B1D1, Mahrs) — vendor-assigned byte values, `from_u8` lookup.
|
||||
- `Frame { frame_id, data, frame_counter }` — decoded payload.
|
||||
- `encode_frame(frame_id, data, frame_counter)` — header + length+counter byte + frame id + data + XOR checksum; validates min/max body length up-front.
|
||||
- `decode_frame(buf)` — header / length / frame-id / checksum validation; returns typed `FrameDecodeError`.
|
||||
- Constants: `MAX_PACKET_LEN=63`, `MIN_BODY_LEN=4`, `MAX_BODY_LEN=63`.
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/src/internal/a40_protocol/commands.rs`
|
||||
- `ServoStatus`, `ImageSensor`, `CameraCommand` enums (subset needed by AZ-653; full surface lands with AZ-654/655/656).
|
||||
- `angle_deg_to_be_bytes` / `be_bytes_to_angle_deg` — `raw = round(deg/360 * 65536)` big-endian per vendor.
|
||||
- `build_a1_angles(yaw_deg, pitch_deg)` — 9-byte A1 payload.
|
||||
- `build_c1_camera(sensor, cmd)` — 2-byte C1 payload.
|
||||
- `build_c2_set_zoom(zoom_factor)` — 3-byte C2 SET_EO_ZOOM payload (0x53 cmd id; u16 scaled by 10, BE).
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/src/internal/transport.rs`
|
||||
- `A40Transport` — `Arc<UdpSocket>` + peer `SocketAddr` + `broadcast::Sender<Frame>` inbound + atomic `VendorFaults` counters + rolling 2-bit frame counter behind a `Mutex`.
|
||||
- `A40Transport::bind(local, peer)` / `from_socket(socket, peer)` — both spawn the receive loop and return `(transport, JoinHandle)`.
|
||||
- `send_oneway(frame_id, data)` — fire-and-forget (used by `M_AHRS` attitude pushes).
|
||||
- `send_with_response(frame_id, data, expected_reply)` — bounded retry on timeout; per-command deadline; non-matching inbound frames re-loop without cancelling the wait (so a HEARTBEAT doesn't satisfy a request).
|
||||
- `receive_loop` — checksum-validates every inbound frame; on mismatch increments `vendor_faults_total{kind="crc"}` and drops; on unknown frame id increments `unknown_frame_id`; valid frames go to the broadcast.
|
||||
- `VendorFaultsSnapshot { crc, timeout, unknown_frame_id }` — read-side struct surfaced through `GimbalControllerHandle::faults()`.
|
||||
- Constants: `DEFAULT_COMMAND_DEADLINE=150 ms`, `DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES=3`, `INBOUND_CHANNEL_CAPACITY=64`.
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/src/lib.rs`
|
||||
- `GimbalController::with_transport(initial, transport)` — composition root will use this after binding the vendor UDP socket; existing `new(initial)` retains the "disabled" mode for tests / dev without hardware.
|
||||
- `GimbalControllerHandle::set_pose(GimbalCommand)` — A1 absolute-angle command; awaits a `T1F1B1D1` ack via the transport's bounded-retry path; updates the watched `GimbalState` via `send_replace` (so updates land regardless of subscriber count).
|
||||
- `GimbalControllerHandle::zoom(level)` — C2 SET_EO_ZOOM; same wait + state-update pattern.
|
||||
- `GimbalControllerHandle::faults()` / `health()` — vendor-fault counters surfaced; health goes yellow on first fault, red on ≥5 timeout faults.
|
||||
- `GimbalControllerHandle::transport()` (`#[doc(hidden)]`) — direct access for AZ-654/655/656's rate-mode primitives.
|
||||
|
||||
**Tests**:
|
||||
|
||||
- `crates/gimbal_controller/tests/a40_transport.rs` (7 integration tests, all green):
|
||||
- `ac1_crc_round_trip_no_faults` (AC-1) — yaw=30 command round-trips through a UDP-loopback fake A40; faults `{crc:0, timeout:0}`.
|
||||
- `ac2_crc_mismatch_counted_and_dropped` (AC-2) — fake echoes a frame with a flipped checksum; transport drops it and increments `vendor_faults_total{kind="crc"}`.
|
||||
- `ac3_command_timeout_retries_then_succeeds` (AC-3) — fake silently drops the first command; transport retries and the call succeeds on attempt 2; `vendor_faults_total{kind="timeout"} = 1`.
|
||||
- `ac4_cap_exhaustion_returns_max_retries_exceeded` (AC-4) — fake never replies; after 3 attempts returns `Err(A40Error::MaxRetriesExceeded { attempts: 3, .. })`; the fake observes exactly 3 inbound datagrams.
|
||||
- `set_pose_via_transport_updates_state_stream` — end-to-end on the public `GimbalController` surface.
|
||||
- `zoom_via_transport_updates_zoom_state` — same for `zoom`.
|
||||
- `build_c1_camera_payload_matches_vendor_layout` — sanity check on the byte layout fed to the transport.
|
||||
- Module unit tests:
|
||||
- `internal::a40_protocol::checksum::tests` — 5 tests (empty, single, duplicate cancellation, order-independence, known ArduPilot vector).
|
||||
- `internal::a40_protocol::frame::tests` — 9 tests (A1 round-trip, C1 round-trip, frame-counter pack/unpack, corrupted checksum, bad header, truncated frame, empty data, oversize data, unknown frame id).
|
||||
- `internal::a40_protocol::commands::tests` — 7 tests (angle round-trip, negative-wrap, 360°-no-overflow, A1 payload bytes, C1 zoom-in, C2 zoom 4×, C2 zoom clamping).
|
||||
- `internal::transport::tests` — 2 tests (faults default zero, counters increment independently).
|
||||
- `tests::disabled_controller_has_disabled_health`, `disabled_controller_rejects_set_pose` — 2 tests for the no-transport path.
|
||||
|
||||
Total: **32 / 32 tests passing** (`cargo test -p gimbal_controller`).
|
||||
|
||||
## AC coverage
|
||||
|
||||
| AC | Behaviour | Test | Status |
|
||||
|----|-----------|------|--------|
|
||||
| AC-1 | yaw=30° command encoder/decoder round-trip; `vendor_faults{crc:0}` | `ac1_crc_round_trip_no_faults` | PASS |
|
||||
| AC-2 | corrupted inbound checksum → frame dropped; `vendor_faults_total{kind="crc"}` increments | `ac2_crc_mismatch_counted_and_dropped` | PASS |
|
||||
| AC-3 | first command dropped → retry succeeds; `vendor_faults_total{kind="timeout"} = 1` | `ac3_command_timeout_retries_then_succeeds` | PASS |
|
||||
| AC-4 | endpoint never responds → after 3 attempts `Err(MaxRetriesExceeded)` returned | `ac4_cap_exhaustion_returns_max_retries_exceeded` | PASS |
|
||||
|
||||
## Code review
|
||||
|
||||
**Spec compliance**: PASS (with the documented XOR-vs-CRC16 spec correction). All four ACs verified by named tests; the integration tests exercise the production transport against a real UDP loopback socket — no mocks below the wire boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
**Architecture compliance**: PASS.
|
||||
- `gimbal_controller` (Layer 2 Actor) imports only `shared` and `tokio` / `tracing` / standard deps. No sibling Layer 2 imports.
|
||||
- `internal/a40_protocol/*` matches `module-layout.md` exactly (the layout doc anticipated a folder for the protocol; this batch honors it).
|
||||
- `internal/transport.rs` is a new internal file co-located with the protocol — the layout doc names `internal/smooth_pan.rs` and `internal/a40_protocol/*` but doesn't yet list `internal/transport.rs`. Recommended: add `crates/gimbal_controller/src/internal/transport.rs` to the `gimbal_controller` Internal bullet list in `module-layout.md` during the next document refresh. (Same drift-flag pattern noted in cumulative review for `mission_executor`.)
|
||||
|
||||
**SRP**: PASS.
|
||||
- `checksum.rs` — pure XOR helper, no I/O.
|
||||
- `frame.rs` — pure encode/decode, no I/O.
|
||||
- `commands.rs` — pure typed payload builders, no I/O.
|
||||
- `transport.rs` — owns UDP + retry policy + fault counters; everything async lives here.
|
||||
- `lib.rs` — adapter from typed `GimbalCommand` to `A40Transport` calls.
|
||||
|
||||
**Runtime completeness**: PASS. Production code:
|
||||
- Real CRC: `xor_checksum` is the actual vendor algorithm (not a stub).
|
||||
- Real UDP socket: `tokio::net::UdpSocket` in the transport (not a fake).
|
||||
- Real per-command encoder/decoder: `encode_frame` / `decode_frame` parse the actual wire format with all rejection paths (`BadHeader`, `BadChecksum`, `UnknownFrameId`, length-mismatch).
|
||||
- AC-2's "vendor_faults_total{kind='crc'}" counter is a real atomic counter, not a no-op.
|
||||
|
||||
**Test discipline**: PASS. AAA pattern with `// Arrange / Act / Assert` comments. Integration tests spawn a real UDP socket and a fake A40 echo task in the same process — same wire bytes the production transport will see at runtime. No `unsafe`, no production `unwrap`/`expect`.
|
||||
|
||||
**Security quick-scan**: PASS. No string-interpolated commands; no external input deserialization beyond the typed vendor frame parser (every malformed input maps to a typed `FrameDecodeError` and is counted). The peer `SocketAddr` is supplied by the composition root, not derived from inbound data.
|
||||
|
||||
**Performance scan**: PASS.
|
||||
- Encoder: single `Vec` allocation per send (header + body); body size ≤ 63 bytes; XOR is O(n) over the small body.
|
||||
- Decoder: zero allocation except the `data: Vec<u8>` clone (≤57 bytes).
|
||||
- Send path: one `Mutex<u8>` lock per send for the counter — held microseconds.
|
||||
- Receive loop: stack buffer (128 bytes); `broadcast::send` is lock-free.
|
||||
|
||||
**Cross-task consistency**: N/A — single task in the batch.
|
||||
|
||||
## Module-layout drift (minor)
|
||||
|
||||
The architecture layout lists `internal/a40_protocol/*` (matches) and `internal/smooth_pan.rs` (AZ-655). This batch additionally introduces `internal/transport.rs` which isn't yet enumerated. Recommended: extend the `gimbal_controller` Internal bullet list in `_docs/02_document/module-layout.md` at next document refresh.
|
||||
|
||||
## Known limitations (warnings)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **`T1_F1_B1_D1` ack semantics are coarse.** Today every command awaits a generic `T1_F1_B1_D1` frame as ack. The vendor sends T1_F1_B1_D1 unprompted (it's the periodic angle/recording/tracking feedback frame), so a stale tick can satisfy a wait for a fresh command. The retry/deadline budget (150 ms × 3) bounds the consequence to "the next-second's true ack will satisfy a later retry attempt" rather than missing the failure entirely; AC-3's test scenario depends on the fake echoing T1_F1_B1_D1 only in response to inbound commands. A tighter design (correlation by `frame_counter` echoed back in `T1_F1_B1_D1`) lands in AZ-654/655/656 when the gimbal feedback decode is needed for actual control feedback. Documented in `transport.rs` docstring.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **`send_with_response` does one outbound validation up-front then re-encodes per attempt.** The up-front encode is purely a "is the frame even possible to encode" probe (rejects oversize frames before the first send). The probe's bytes are immediately discarded; per-attempt re-encodes get a fresh `frame_counter`. The cost is one extra `Vec` allocation per call, which is acceptable for a 1-2 Hz command rate but worth a `#[inline]` size-only check if call rate grows. Documented in the function body.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **`unknown_frame_id` fault counter is exposed but not yet wired to health colors.** Today only `crc` and `timeout` faults flip health. The vendor protocol may add new frame ids in future firmware; surfacing them as yellow health is recommended once a baseline is established. Tracked as future work.
|
||||
|
||||
4. **`gimbal-mock` Docker service named in `tests/environment.md` does not yet exist** (`e2e/mocks/gimbal-mock`). The in-process loopback fake used by the AZ-653 tests proves the wire protocol; the suite e2e gimbal-mock can be a thin wrapper around the same `decode_frame` / `encode_frame` once it lands. Documented in the architecture compliance note above.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-fix attempts during the batch
|
||||
|
||||
- `tokio::sync::watch::send` returns `Err` when no receivers are subscribed, which silently dropped a `state` update in `zoom_via_transport_updates_zoom_state`. Switched to `send_replace` (publishes regardless of subscribers) — caught by the test, not a production crash.
|
||||
- Removed an unused `mpsc`-style `IntoPair` shim trait and two unused `FakeA40::{recv,send}` helpers from the test file (dead-code warning under `-D warnings`).
|
||||
- Clippy `unnecessary_lazy_evaluations` (×2) — switched `ok_or_else(|| AutopilotError::NotImplemented(...))` to `ok_or(AutopilotError::NotImplemented(...))` since the value is a string literal.
|
||||
- Clippy `doc_lazy_continuation` — collapsed a 3-line docstring into a single line.
|
||||
- Removed an unused `use std::sync::Arc` from `lib.rs` after refactoring.
|
||||
|
||||
## Test reproduction
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
cargo build -p gimbal_controller --tests
|
||||
cargo test -p gimbal_controller # 32 tests; 0 failed
|
||||
cargo clippy -p gimbal_controller --tests -- -D warnings
|
||||
cargo test --workspace # all green
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Research provenance
|
||||
|
||||
The ViewPro A40 vendor protocol is documented externally:
|
||||
|
||||
- ArduPilot `libraries/AP_Mount/AP_Mount_Viewpro.h` — canonical open-source reference (master branch). Defines frame layout, `FrameId`, `CameraCommand`, `ImageSensor`, packet structs, and the XOR checksum algorithm. This is the source for every constant in `internal/a40_protocol/`.
|
||||
- ViewPro Ltd "Gimbal Camera TCP Command Packet Format" public download (viewprotech.com article 511) — confirms the same packet structure for the TCP/UDP variants.
|
||||
- ViewPro A40 Pro spec sheet (viewprouav.com `A40-pro-Spec.pdf`) — confirms UDP as a supported control channel.
|
||||
|
||||
The task originally blocked on missing local vendor docs (`misc/camera/a8/` referenced by the spec doesn't exist in the workspace; `architecture.md §7.7` only covers the MAVLink command surface). The user authorised an internet search; the three sources above were the result. The wire format implemented here matches ArduPilot's tested-in-production reference byte-for-byte.
|
||||
|
||||
## Candidates for batch 11
|
||||
|
||||
- **AZ-657** `frame_ingest_rtsp_session` — 3 pts. Deps only on AZ-640. Opens up the perception pipeline; standard RTSP protocol (no vendor-spec gap).
|
||||
- **AZ-682** `scan_controller_state_machine` — 5 pts. Deps `AZ-640, AZ-649` (both done). Opens up the Brain layer; mission_executor + telemetry forwarding both already in place to consume.
|
||||
- **AZ-654** `gimbal_zoom_out_sweep` — 3 pts. Now unblocked (deps on AZ-653 satisfied by this batch). Natural follow-on within the same component.
|
||||
|
||||
Batch 11 sizing: AZ-657 alone (3 pts) is conservative; AZ-657 + AZ-654 (3+3=6 pts) is a defensible two-task batch since both have all deps satisfied and touch disjoint components.
