rmackay9 1b9ed1444e ArduCopter: updated standard loiter pids.
Loiter_P (speed from distance to target) = 0.2 (was 0.35)
Loiter_Rate_P (lean angle from desired acceleration) = 2.4 (was 2.5)
Loiter_Rate_I = unchanged at 0.08
Loiter_Rate_D = 0.40 (was 0.45)

Andrew Tridgell bfb2c1ee87 GPS: open the GPS serial port with a 256 byte buffer
the UBLOX needs more than 128 bytes for reliable parsing

Jason Short 71111a5816 Stabilization patches
removed Angle error limit for stabilization
constricted Iterm to +- 5° error and limited the implementation to when the quad is +- 5° from center
doubled the output limit for Rate controller.
increased default Rate_P gain to .18 with matching Rate_D of .004
Tested in the SIM and in backyard. dramatically increases performance and quad no longer overshoots and flips when pushed hard.

rmackay9 826cffe688 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

rmackay9 8f8e91a620 ArduCopter: Another attempt at fixing the lat/lon printing bug in which small negative lattitudes or longitudes were appearing as positives.
Fixed in both ArduCopter Log.pde and the GPS Auto test sketch
2012-06-03 16:58:19 +09:00
rmackay9 df3fb5c041 ArduCopter: fixed print_latlon bug in which it would print negative lat/lon numbers incorrectly (i.e. -1234567890 would be printed as -124.xxx). 2012-06-02 12:51:12 +09:00
Jason Short 477aa6e47a RC_Channel fix for throttle output.
throttle was outputting incorrectly and allowing the user to max out the throttle leaving nothing for attitude control

Robert Lefebvre 3df1aac936 Change to increase Parameter space as we have run out.
This will decrease the max number of waypoints from 186
to 169.

Jason Short abb426aec3 When RTLing, force home as the final location for loiter. 2012-05-30 11:06:41 -07:00
Jason Short 5b31f3ba27 moved detector to run until the throttle is low, then stop running. 2012-05-30 09:44:59 -07:00

Jason Short c523a9822b Failsafe: Looking for takeoff_complete now vs unreliable GPS 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 394f8c6eb0 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short a3a90287f4 changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

Jason Short 996cfc5c96 changed WP radius to AP_Int16 2012-05-28 22:39:29 -07:00
Jason Short 4ed48510dc reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -07:00
Jason Short e2086decc6 Arducopter.pde : setting rtl_approach_alt above 1 would force auto landing even if auto-landing was disabled. 2012-05-23 22:00:56 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fc8347af3 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair
2012-05-23 17:33:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5b5d43f5d0 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs
we no longer do page based erase, so printing a + every 128 pages
makes no sense

doing a DataFlash erase
