CI: automatically update the repo every 5 days

[Williangalvani]

This seems to be deleting some of Copter 3.5 files? maybe it is the python version? maybe I'm missing some dependency?

Looks like a bug in the json emitter in param_parse.py.

I see json_from_xml.py -- perhaps this is a known bug?

[clydemcqueen]

Addresses #2

[Williangalvani]

@patrickelectric thoughts?

[HTRamsey]

What's the plan here? I'd like to update QGC with either this or just use the run_param_parse.py tool separately.

[patrickelectric]

I'll investigate what is going on

[patrickelectric]

This should be fixed by #5

[patrickelectric]

jsom_from_xml also needs to run, the problem is that old firmwares failed on generate json files correctly.

[patrickelectric]

Where is json_from_xml being called ?

[Williangalvani]

I assumed we didnt need that anymore after the previous prs. I'll check this tomorrow

[patrickelectric]

Please update over master, should contain all necessary fixes for this patch to work

[HTRamsey]

@patrickelectric thanks for looking into this so quickly

@Williangalvani it appears that there is something wrong on the PR , is deleting copter, plane and sub 4.0. It's also weird to be modifying the files, since it was updates a couplem of hours ago from the last version
