Andrew Tridgell bc17c26dbf Plane: limit pitch in transition to QLOITER and QLAND 
when switching to QLOITER or QLAND when in forward flight, limit the
maximum pitch to prevent a sudden decelleration
 2017-09-09 08:14:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell baee71a5b4 Plane: added GUIDED takeoff for quadplanes 
this allows takeoff in GUIDED mode in the same way as copters
 2017-09-09 08:14:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a88e663191 Plane: adjust target altitude slowly in QRTL mode 
this fixes a sudden throttle drop when starting the descent in QRTL mode
thanks to Marco for finding this issue
 2017-09-07 07:22:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6eaad59115 Plane: improve vectored tailsitter takeoff 
this gives extra pitch input when taking off a vectored tailsitter,
allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff

thanks to Leonard for the idea!
 2017-05-07 09:10:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b1f1ace736 Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors 
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
 2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d9c3e3d93 Plane: added EKF yaw reset handling to quadplane 
this follows the implementation from copter. Thanks to Leonard for the
suggestion
 2017-04-24 16:52:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 88e02c7b35 Plane: log the throttle mix for quadplane copter control 2017-04-19 09:08:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 642a6acfcb Plane: support thrust vectoring in tailsitters 
adds Q_TAILSIT_VHGAIN and Q_TAILSIT_VFGAIN, allowing for thust
vectoring in both fixed wing and hover
 2017-04-11 17:34:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 664e41cec6 Plane: bring in demanded climb rate over 1 second 
when we engage the Z controller in quadplane we bring in the climb
rate slowly to prevent a sudden change in motor demand
 2017-04-09 16:45:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 36d8f730e1 Plane: setup better defaults for tailsitters 2017-04-04 10:15:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5d06e4238f Plane: make the quadplane motors var_info dynamic 
this will allow for more quadplane motors class types
 2017-03-25 16:22:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e3a8d477f5 Plane: improve tiltrotor transition strategy 
avoid running forward motors at high throttle when transitioning to a
VTOL mode
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3f7e7d456f Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller 
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2db8589f49 Plane: smarter Z controller initialisation for quadplanes 
this is more generic than the previous one used only for the full
position controller
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c061d5615b Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang 
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.

It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bb25eb194 Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT 
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ea5186340b Plane: added Q_TILT_RATE_UP and Q_TILT_RATE_DN as separate parameters 
allow control of tilt rate separately for UP and DOWN

always allow at least 90 degrees/second for switching to MANUAL
 2017-02-25 17:53:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e8b11924f8 Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code 
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover
 2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00

Mathieu OTHACEHE 152edf7189 Global: remove mode line from headers

reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.

Randy Mackay 574976a3b7 Plane: include AP_Proximity in quadplane 2016-10-13 20:21:07 +09:00

Q_GUIDED_MODE=1.
