Would be nice to change gimbal sensitivity during flight, the easiest way how to achieve it by programming framework.

In settings.yaml is mentioned min max values as -16 to 15, but variable in configuration is not marked as int16, default value is uint8.
https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/src/main/fc/settings.yaml#L4284

This PR assume that source of true is min max -16 to 15, so I changed type for all related variables in code from uint8 to int16.

Why not int8_t? That range doesn't need int16_t.

I think that this would be better as an adjustment. Rather than in the programming framework. It's more like a tuning change that you'll adjust once. Not all the time.

uint8_t is an unsigned 8-bit integer, which can have the range 0-255.

int16_t is an signed 16-bit, with a range of -32,768 to 32,767

You probably want int8_t , which has the range -128 to 127

yea, I decided to use int16 because in struct what is sending to gimbal is int16
https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav/blob/master/src/main/io/gimbal_serial.h#L41

I don't know why programmers of gimbal decided to use two bytes for sensitivity. I like uniformity so I used int16, it's not problem to change to int8, it's not big deal.

Story behind, why I would like to change gimbal sensitivity durrung flight. I use gimbal on plane, inav provides nice autonomous flying so I would like to set small sensitivity (for nice stabilised image) durring autonomous flight and hight sensitivity (lock image) If I fly FPV. Firs flight I flew with gimbal which was set to small sensitivity (stabilized image) and it was not nice experience to fly with it, it feels like flying with huuuuge input lag.

I rewrite it to int8, I will move it from draft to pull request I will test it on field.

@error414 One comment for this change. Do we want the change made in the programming framework to be permanent or temporary? Currently it would result in a permanent change. But if we want it to revert when there is a power cycle. Maybe it should be made temporary. Other than that, it looks good.

I don't know :). I'm OK with both cases.

I decided to make it permanent, because when I tested VTX settings via programming framework it was permanent as well. So I wanted to keep logic in INAV same as it's possible.

Be honest, I'm not big fun to set config values (configMuttable()->xxx = yyyy) in programming framework. If you save settings for example by stick command then new value from programming framework will be saved to eeprom.

So if you would like to make "sensitivity setting" temporary, maybe would be good idea to revisit programming framework's values and fix all function which set anything in config via "configMuttable()->.....", to make it consistent for all.
