Leonard Hall 47c5f14987 QuadPlane: remove true from init of loiter 2018-09-08 09:21:17 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell d8a7618e15 Plane: update use of AC_Loiter controller for quadplane
this changes the way the loiter controller is initialised for QLOITER,
after discussions with Leonard.

The way we were doing it could cause a sudden acceleration demand when
switching into QLOITER.

This also changes the default loiter parameters to reduce the maximum
acceleration that will be applied in QLOITER. Many thanks to Leonard for
the advice

Andrew Tridgell d07f8aa42b Plane: fixed a bug in transition to QSTABILIZE for tailsitters
this bug was found bug Marco on his tailsitter. It resulted in zero
throttle for 2s in transition from FBWA to QSTABILIZE

Michael du Breuil aec7521da4 Plane: Fix truncation of a time interval
Truncating the a millisecond time delta to uint16_t causes it to wrap
every 65 seconds, which could momentarily reset the desired climb rate

for transitions to QLOITER

new FW to VTOL transition state
2017-10-30 16:30:38 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell af893ddde7 Plane: implement Q_OPTIONS
this allows for NAV_TAKEOFF to be treated as NAV_VTOL_TAKEOFF in
quadplanes, and for level flight to be maintained during quadplane
transitions

Andrew Tridgell 0aed5a9a57 Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes

Andrew Tridgell 35c1a732a6 Plane: allow takeoff in guided then fw loiter
this allows for quadplane takeoff in GUIDED with Q_GUIDED_MODE=0. The
takeoff will be VTOL, but subsequent guided points will be fixed wing
