ArduCopter - test.pde - changed references "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of move to AP_Motors library.
...
Change to ESC initialisation calls to use motors.throttle_pass_through method of AP_Motors class.

ArduCopter - system.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of the move to use AP_Motors library.

ArduCopter - setup.pde - changed cli for helicopter to call the new AP_Motors class's parameters instead of the global parameters.
...
changed init_esc to call the AP_Motor's class's "throttle_pass_through" function.
2012-04-04 23:02:29 +09:00
1701cac0b1
ArduCopter - radio.pde - changed motor initialisation to set update rate, frame orientation, min and max throttle to AP_Motors class.
...
Note: perhaps the motors speed at least should be moved to a parameter within the motors class.
output_min function greatly simplified as this is handled by the AP_Motors class.

ArduCopter - motors.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" because we've moved to using the AP_Motors class.
...
Simplified set_servos_4 function which was responsible for calling "output_motors_armed" or "output_motors_disarmed" as this determination as to whether the motors are armed or not is handled within the AP_Motors class.

ArduCopter - leds.pde - changed refrences to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()"
2012-04-04 22:57:50 +09:00
ffd77f58ab
ArduCopter - removed references to MOT_1 etc as these are now within the AP_Motors class (i.e. MOT_1 has become AP_MOTORS_MOT_1)
2012-04-04 22:56:07 +09:00
929e933b69
ArduCopter - increased firmware version to 118. Removed nearly all heli parameters as these are all created by the AP_MotorHeli class now.
...
Note: we cannot move the heli_servos to the AP_MotorHeli class yet because of a small issue in the parameters class.

ArduCopter - Log.pde - changed MOT output to dataflash to take values from AP_Motors class's motor_out array instead of the global motor_out array.
2012-04-04 22:53:21 +09:00
86d2a9ffdb
ArduCopter - GCS_Mavlink.pde - changed output to ground station to use new AP_Motor's class motors array inplace of the global "motor_out" array.
2012-04-04 22:52:26 +09:00
23c3f25654
ArduCopter - Attitude.pde - moved heli_get_angle_boost from heli.pde (which will be removed) to Attitude.pde. In fact we should combine heli_get_angle_boost and the regular get_angle_boost.
2012-04-04 22:51:39 +09:00
544237d60a
ArduCopter - add includes for new AP_Motors classes.
...
Remove global motor_filtered and motor_out arrays.
Removed all global heli variables.
replace "motor_armed" with "motors.armed()"
removed output to rc_4 for tri because this is now handled by AP_MotorsTri class

ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code:
...
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)
Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.

MAVLink: port the new adaptive flow control to ArduCopter

This allows for arbitrary stream rates, and supports flow control if
you are using a 3DR radio

MAVLink: allow for find grained stream rate control
...
streams can now be requested at any multiple of 20ms. So if you ask
for a stream at 7Hz then you will get it at close to 7Hz.

ArduCopter - CH6 tuning - changed Roll/Pitch Rate D tuning to use the user supplied tuning range instead of the range / 100.

also changed heli_ext_gyro_gain to make it use the tuning range directly.

MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information
...
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.
This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
08b66e18b7
FastSerial: added set_blocking_writes() interface
...
this allows us to put a serial port into non-blocking mode, so that
writes that don't fit in the transmit buffer are dropped. This will be
used in flight to prevent stray printf() calls from causing large time
delays in the code

MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes
...
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient
As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile

AP_Declination: save some more memory by putting the declination keys in progmem

there was a comment saying this was too slow, but it actually costs
about 30 usec extra, which is trivial given the full auto declination
call costs 680 usec and its only called once per boot

0727955fe3
ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM. By default the declination will only be set by the automatic declination routine if the user has not saved a declination to the EEPROM.

0178906389
AP_Declination: Found 7 of the 22 failure points and fixed them. The issue with those 7 was the way I originally packed the value array. The last delta values on some rows were getting truncated. The new number of failures is down to 15 - WIP.

e99d26cfa3
AP_Declination: The exception signs unpacking logic was incorrect. I was shifting a 1 value left y%8 which would have needed a the signs to be packed right to left. My packed signs byte was packed left to right (left most being the 0 position) so I needed to reverse the shifting.
2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
d9c9e0e608
AP_Declination: In order for the bitwise & operation to work, negative signs need to be represented by 1s instead of 0s. Changed so that negative signs are represented by a 1 in the packed signs array. Updated lookup logic to reflect this change.
2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
