Pull request overview
This PR adds a new setting to control gimbal yaw lock behavior during position commands and updates the documentation for the gimbal indicator. The change allows users to preserve the current yaw lock state instead of forcing yaw follow mode when centering or tilting the gimbal to 90 degrees.
Changes:
- Added
preserveYawLockOnPositionCommandssetting to preserve yaw lock status during gimbal positioning - Refactored gimbal control to use dedicated
tilt90Gimbal()method instead of direct pitch/yaw commands - Updated gripper action enum mappings to use correct MAVLink constants
- Extended gimbal indicator documentation with detailed operation guide

Missing closing quote after 'button'. Should be 'If the option "Show Acquire/Release control button" is set'.

Missing space before 'button'. Should be 'Acquire/Release Control button' with a space between the bold text and the word.

@Davidsastresas Don't worry about screen shots for now. We'll do that when we get closer to stable. Dont want to capture now and have things still move around and have to redo. |

Is this a mistake? Seems unrelated?

If I recall correctly I got compilation errors and it was because of it. It is in a separate commit 38871ff
Maybe it was already fixed in master.

Usually means you CPM cache is out of date with respect to latest mavlink headers.

Oh I am sorry, I wasn't aware about it. Please let me take a look at this again in the next few days. The user that reported the issue added some more comments and maybe that changes the current PR. I will remove this mavlink thing and test, and also work on those possible new requests.
Thanks!

@DonLakeFlyer you were totally right. I removed the mavlink commit and rebased to master, force pushed. #13955 was closed recently so I don't have nothing to add to this PR. |

Folowing #13955 (comment)
For Center and tilt 90 gimbal commands, we were sending setting also the gimbal to follow mode, as that is usually the expected behaviour. We added a new setting now to instead preserve the previous gimbal lock status:
When this is set, center and tilt 90 will just preserve current gimbal lock/follow status.
Additionally, the top toolbar indicator docs were extended to include some info from this gimbal indicator.
For awareness @DonLakeFlyer.
