if not present, then mag init will fail and it will disable
2013-05-02 15:01:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell de3fcbc413 Plane: removed the MANUAL_LEVEL option
levelling on every startup is far too error prone. This was just
another parameter that everyone changed.
2013-04-29 14:19:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3d7a4d0e6e Plane: added ELEVON_OUTPUT option
this is like the vtail mixer, but for elevons
2013-04-29 12:13:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0b8c2da4df Plane: support 12 output channels on PX4 2013-04-25 20:10:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 994d8e354a Plane: allow for negative WP_LOITER_RAD for conter-clockwise loiter

Andrew Tridgell 78538d0543 Plane: removed old HDNG2RLL PID control
not used with L1
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
priseborough 70a186464b Plane: added LEVEL_ROLL_LIMIT parameter
this replaces both TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD and RUDDER_STEER, allowing users to
instead select a roll limit for takeoff and landing
2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Andrew Tridgell 71f6287388 Plane: fixed spelling 2013-04-06 17:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 993154ea59 Plane: expand the VTAIL_OUTPUT docs for APM1 2013-04-05 16:38:46 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 406921faf1 Plane: added VTAIL_OUTPUT option
this allows for software vtail mixing
2013-04-05 15:22:11 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2506c216dd Plane: added a second type of stick mixing
this changes STICK_MIXING from a boolean to a tri-state. With
STICK_MIXING=1 it now uses FBW style mixing. With STICK_MIXING=2 it
uses the old style of direct stick mixing.
2013-04-02 08:52:56 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 624ebced38 Plane: document INVERTEDFLT_CH 2013-04-01 22:17:04 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell dfb14d760b Plane: added HIL_SERVOS option
this allows for real servo output in HIL
2013-03-30 14:38:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7db7d7db77 Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter

This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f077f54e6a Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.
2013-03-27 10:27:14 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0a385cc0ff Plane: added TKOFF_THR_MINACC option
this is used for triggering auto takeoff with a hand launched plane
2013-03-09 14:41:04 +11:00
Michael Warren 9697ff5d6d Plane: Added extra parameter to specify at what speed in auto-takeoff throttle should engage
This adds TKOFF_THR_MINSPD in m/s
2013-03-09 14:19:48 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell feca411943 Plane: added new TRAINING mode
this mode gives manual control when the roll or pitch is within the
set limits (the same limits as FBW mode), and prevents the pilot from
flying beyond those limits, essentially a "attitude limited manual"
mode
2012-12-20 22:41:58 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 845dd88091 Plane: make THR_SLEWRATE docs clearer 2012-11-28 11:41:39 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 92cd631ce5 Plane: added THR_PASS_STAB parameter
this allows direct passthru of throttle in STABILIZE and FBWA, which
is useful for nitro planes wher you have a throttle cut switch that
drops the throttle below normal minimum.

takeoff
2012-09-22 20:17:06 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cebb67e1df APM: removed the unused sonar code
when we start supporting a sonar we'll add a AP_Sonar library, like

2012-09-19 19:35:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2324997e16 APM: added ALT_OFFSET parameter
useful to adjust for barometric pressure changes during a long flight
2012-09-19 16:23:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5c3595e0dc APM: fixed throttle nudging
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging
2012-09-09 19:39:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 164c60d25f APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling
2012-09-08 10:07:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 96ea350143 APM: added XTRK_MIN_DIST option

2012-09-08 10:06:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9a987ce116 APM: fixed docs for LIM_PITCH_MIN 2012-08-30 14:55:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f6c3197cd2 APM: added new TELEM_DELAY parameter
number of seconds to delay telemetry
2012-08-30 08:59:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fce01464b1 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control
2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c9cf483822 APM: added XTRK_USE_WIND parameter
when enabled this will use the wind estimation code to adjust the
navigation bearing, allowing the navigation code to cope with much
higher levels of wind while using a compass
2012-08-25 17:49:26 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d445482ace APM: added optional use of new APM_Control library

this fixes issue 343
2012-08-17 15:04:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ad73c229ab APM: added LAND_FLARE_ALT and LAND_FLARE_SEC
these allow you to configure the altitude and time before touchdown to
flare the plane and lock the heading. Useful on larger planes.

2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2865434d02 APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane

 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bdc7d41be INS: disable INS AP_Param table when not on APM1 hardware
this could cause overwriting of memory with default values
2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5498d347f3 APM: Added RST_MISSION_CH option
this allows a pilot to reset the mission using a transmitter
switch. Very useful for repeating a mission during testing
2012-08-09 10:33:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e133900c68 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option
this replaces the compile time option. Disabling during long distance
flights when the transmitter may be out of range is useful.
