Leonard Hall d28182435e AP_Motors: allow for negative thrust expo
This allows for motors with a thrust curve that decreases with demand.

Dr.-Ing. Amilcar Do Carmo Lucas 9d9ebc91cd AP_Motors: Use SI units conventions in parameter units
Follow the rules from:
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/outside.html
and
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html
one further constrain is that only printable (7bit) ASCII characters are allowed

Andrew Tridgell bdc4320fe8 AP_Motors: added MOT_BOOST_SCALE
this is to support boost motors for copters, such as having a petrol
motor for extra lift on a multicopter

The scaling factor allows the user to control how much of the lift is
generated from the booster and how much from the main multicopter
motors

Andrew Tridgell 2c4975ba31 AP_Motors: removed cork/push from AP_Motors
should be done by vehicle code if needed, so that AUX servos are sent
at the same time

Jacob Walser 507b461388 AP_Motors: Initialize throttle range directly
This was causing SITL to hang at boot when motors object is statically allocated.

Lucas De Marchi ade1876318 AP_Motors: tie esc scaling with set_throttle_range()
We need to update the esc scaling from inside the Motors library, that
has access to the MOT_PWM_[MIN|MAX] values. Otherwise even though the
AP_Motors library honors the value for calculations, the RCOutput
drivers that need the scaling to set the real HW scaling will not work.
Right now it scales the value using the throttle_channel's min/max, even
though AP_Motors may be passing values in other range.

Andrew Tridgell 2187417d74 AP_Motors: added MOT_SPOOL_TIME

Mathieu OTHACEHE 152edf7189 Global: remove mode line from headers
Using a global .dir-locals.el file is a better alternative than
reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.

Leonard Hall 4f0db2bc36 AP_Motors: learned THST_HOVER replace THR_MID
This holds the estimated thrust required for the vehicle to hover
expressed as a number from 0 to 1.  0 will be equivalent to outputting
SPIN_MIN (which is a number from 0~1 but in the full output range) and 1 is equivalent to SPIN_MAX (also 0~1 but in the full output range)
2016-06-18 11:55:49 +09:00
Leonard Hall 5a8fc6283e AP_Motors: replace throttle_rpy_mix with throttle_avg
AC_AttitudeControl now calculates throttle vs attitude control
prioritisation and simply provides overall maximum throttle (aka
throttle_avg) to the motors library

Andrew Tridgell a2ed8fb313 AP_Motors: prevent negative thrust

Randy Mackay ff93524ba4 AP_Motors: rename MOT_THST_MAX to MOT_SPIN_MAX
Also renamed:
MOT_THST_BAT_MIN,MAX to MOT_BAT_VOLT_MIN,MAX
MOT_CURR_MAX to MOT_BAT_CURR_MAX
2016-05-24 10:00:25 +09:00
Randy Mackay 49b14b3cb6 AP_Motors: add PWM_MIN, MAX
These parameters allow the motor PWM output range to be different from receiver's throttle input range
Also renamed throttle_pass_through to set_throttle_passthrough_for_esc_calibration and change the method's input to the 0 to 1 range instead of direct PWM value
2016-05-24 10:00:25 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 60b3625950 AP_Motors: added hook for vehicle based thrust compensation
allow vehicle code to compensate for thrust effectiveness changes due
to properties outside the scope of AP_Motors. This allows for
compensation in tiltrotors and tiltwings.
2016-05-11 05:55:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37d6b5fdaf AP_Motors: added output_motor_mask()
this will be used for tiltrotors in forward flight
