2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight
is also _much_ better with sensors HIL.
2013-04-12 17:44:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Andrew Tridgell 2506c216dd Plane: added a second type of stick mixing
this changes STICK_MIXING from a boolean to a tri-state. With
STICK_MIXING=1 it now uses FBW style mixing. With STICK_MIXING=2 it
uses the old style of direct stick mixing.

Andrew Tridgell 7db7d7db77 Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter

This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
