rmackay9 3b9a1d4305 RC_Channel_aux: added enable_out method to help stop servos from moving before the mount has initialised. 
changed parameter names of "update_aux_servo_function" to make it more clear that any 4 servos can be passed in (not just servos 5~8).
Also allowed NULL servos to be passed in as parameters because we only need 3 in ArduCopter.

rmackay9 e83275d8ae AP_Camera: changed "int" to "int16_t" and "long" to "int32_t" here and there. 2012-07-15 16:26:12 +09:00
Andreas M. Antonopoulos 31fd74d94c AP_Limits library, provides modular "limits" such as altitude and geo-fencing. 2012-07-14 19:26:17 -07:00

Robert Lefebvre 716ce6a5a7 Change to prevent Tricopter servos from going hard-over during Disarmed state. 
Believe this was an oversight when the change to AP_Motors went in.

Robert Lefebvre ab1212d8d2 Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input". 
Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying.  This could probably become a parameter.

this allows control of how much GPS velocity information is used in
doing centripetal correction in DCM
 2012-07-10 16:22:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2bc530d04f AP_Param: added some docs on the eeprom header format 2012-07-10 14:03:49 +10:00
Craig Elder 0534ac12b1 DataFlash: The current method for checking if chip erase worked is producing false positives. We are forcing the block erase until we have a deterministic test method. 2012-07-09 15:23:35 -07:00

Andrew Tridgell ec70e87495 AnalogSource: prevent a division by zero on zero ADC data 2012-07-06 19:59:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7bc724d118 APM: changed PID library to do automatic deltat calculation 
this fixes a problem with the HDNG2RLL PID, which was using the wrong
time base and prevents similar bugs from happening in the future
 2012-07-06 19:59:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 44755bf3ce AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging 
this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.
 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 43d6015811 Filter: split the DerivativeFilter steps into update() and slope() 
this allows us to apply new data at a different rate than we calculate
the slope.
 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4723698489 AP_Baro: update MS5611 test to use baro library altitude 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9845a55cb1 AHRS: make the yaw independent drift correction optional and disable 
the new correction algorithm copes poorly with gyro drift, leading to
signification attitude errors in the face of drift
 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e33554a1f9 AHRS: only enable barometer for AHRS if it is smooth enough 
if we used less than 5 samples to compute the pressure then don't use
it for climb rate
 2012-07-05 16:29:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1ce4a03147 SITL: lower baro noise a bit 2012-07-05 16:29:21 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 735c88e9b3 AP_Baro: added get_pressure_samples() interface 
this returns how many samples were used to calculate the last pressure
 2012-07-05 16:29:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 92001e3e7d Filter: fixed typo in 9 point DerivativeFilter 2012-07-05 16:29:20 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 999a1d1d55 AP_Baro: change to a 7 point DerivativeFilter for climb rate 2012-07-05 13:00:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a07e280eda Filter: cope with non-uniform time steps in the DerivativeFilter 
this helps with the barometer a lot, as the timing is quite variable
 2012-07-05 13:00:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ce3f8be6c7 SITL: add some minimal noise when motors are off 
this actually improves the gyro calibration
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fe54329de2 MAVLink: remove MAVLink 0.9 protocol support 
this simplifies the code a lot. We're not going back to 1.0
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9d7ed30023 AHRS: only use GPS for yaw when compass is not being used 
this avoids having two competing controllers
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6653c0b874 AHRS: enable barometer for vertical velocity 
this re-enables the barometer for vertical velocity information
for drift correction, now that we have a better filter
on the climb rate
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a5d607d25a AP_Baro: use DerivativeFilter in barometer climb rate 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f97289792b Filter: added DerivativeFilter implementation 
this adds a DerivativeFilter implementation of up to 10 points
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cf2c546051 AP_Baro: show climb rate in baro test sketch 2012-07-05 13:00:45 +10:00
rmackay9 be3d035a64 AP_Motors: clarified some doxygen descriptions for TradHeli 2012-07-05 08:46:50 +09:00

Amilcar Lucas 8400bd67f8 Remove unused function 2012-07-05 00:33:10 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell dc6d70bc15 SITL: added SIM_GPS_DELAY parameter 
this allows a delay to be added to the gps data to test the impact on
AHRS/DCM
 2012-07-04 21:05:22 +10:00
rmackay9 cac0757c2e AP_AHRS: removed DCM_test example sketch 
No longer required because it doesn't compile and is redundant anyway because the AP_AHRS_DCM class is tested in the AHRS_Test example sketch.
 2012-07-04 18:22:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 03516b7dfa AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw 
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on
accurate yaw. This means we should get accurate roll/pitch correction
even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)
 2012-07-04 17:00:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6cf2e2fa13 AP_Math: cope with co-located waypoints in location_passed_point() 2012-07-04 14:24:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7be29c8b04 AP_Math: the windows arduino build is missing acosf() 2012-07-04 14:14:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8fa1acb141 AP_Math: add include of math.h 
this is needed for location.cpp
 2012-07-04 13:59:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 597170afdc DataFlash: fixed SITL build 2012-07-04 13:44:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c6ff292721 DataFlash: fallback to BlockErase if ChipErase fails 
The errata on the APM2 dataflash chip says that ChipErase may not work
on some chips
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 84a489498d Math: added location functions to math library 
these do common calculations on struct Location
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e0685f4408 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable 
this is to make it easier for Craig and Alan to tune
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1142ec0665 AP_Mount: removed unused enum 2012-07-03 10:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f150c645c8 Mount: enable mount control via eeprom parameters 
this enables MNT_* parameter control of the camera mount code. It also
fixes the conversion of calculated angles between degrees and
integers, and fixes stabilised mount control when yaw control is not
available.
 2012-07-03 10:21:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7a77832f45 Baro: average over all pressure/temperature samples on MS5611 
this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings

This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer
 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f7b06e0a64 Baro: fixed build of MS5611 test code 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2bd5cd3b9a AnalogSource: added some example code 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0341e0e5f0 SITL: added support for new analog source 
removed analogRead() to prevent people using it
 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2046e396a2 AnalogSource: make the Arduino AnalogSource interrupt driven 
this fixes several problems with reading analog sources:

 - we were getting poor values because we didn't wait long enough for
   an analog source to settle

 - we wasted a lot of CPU cycles waiting for conversions

 - we were not taking averages over many samples, which we did with
   the old AP_ADC driver on the APM1
 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b5aa821071 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro() 
this makes it more useful for navigation controllers
 2012-06-29 21:54:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 02b9ea4dfe MPU6k: removed an unused variable 2012-06-29 21:54:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 117bae9585 SITL: added SITL class for controlling simulation 
this holds mavlink settable parameters for controlling sensor noise
levels
 2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37494dda2b AHRS: don't add the P terms in _omega 
this can lead feedback via the _P_gain()
 2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 21ae2957fb AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration 
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.

It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.
 2012-06-28 11:12:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e531061caa AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code 
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.
 2012-06-28 11:09:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8600ad8d7f AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm 
we need to work out why Craigs quad flipped today before we enable
this new drift correction
 2012-06-27 18:16:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 70bfacc350 SITL: removed an unused variable 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 57579e494b Barometer: fixed airstart for APM 
we need to re-load the ground pressure and temperature from eeprom on
and airstart
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ce016b5ae8 AHRS: include P term in omega 
thanks to Jon for suggesting this
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0fa1f29cf3 AHRS: implement spin rate limits 
this follows the method that Bill developed in his fastRotations
paper. We've demonstrated that this is indeed needed in APM, as we
were able to produce the 'dizzy' effects in both the ArduPlane and
ArduCopter simulator
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3ffecc18d8 AHRS: cope with copters with no compass 
if a copter doesn't have a compass, we can't use the GPS for gyro
drift correction
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3458962184 GPS: test the more modern MTK16 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 426006d98f SITL: fixed GPS heading in simulated UBlox 
longitude scale does not apply to velocity->heading conversions
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20c1baf585 SITL: changes UBlox simulation to 5Hz 
this matches the real UBlox driver
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9583ae5eb Compass: remove the need to call calculate() on the compass object 
the new AHRS code doesn't use calculate() and the compass.heading
attribute. Instead it works on the raw magnetometer vector. This
change removes the internal calculate state from the compass object
and instead adds calculate_heading() for use by older code that
doesn't go via AHRS.

This significantly reduces the calculation involved in compass updates

The null offsets enable/disable code is also removed, as it is not
needed now that compass offsets are not linked to the AHRS state.
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5370f9c411 AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer 
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.

The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 53e950531e Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces 
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9fd3d15026 Filter: added 5 point average float filter 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger 1ff9461bfb AHRS: brought DCM more inline with Bill's implementation 
omega_I applied continuously. _ki larger. Stop integrating when _omega.length()>20

The key change was the scaling of ge to ensure the error is not
quadratic
 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 73faaddc1b AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system 
This makes 3 major changes:

 1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
 constant

 2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings

 3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
 to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses
 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0399aa9480 AHRS: update for new _fly_forward flag 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell ae9883a8e2 GPS: fixed auto-config of UBlox setup with no UBX messages 
if a UBlox is configured for NMEA only, with no UBX messages at all
then it would never trigger the GPS_AUTO detection. This adds a UBX
config message to the init strings that enables the NAV_SOL message
 2012-06-15 15:53:27 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b7e807cd58 FastSerial: added tx_pending() method

Andrew Tridgell 0542539fc9 GPS: add stub settings for nav_setting in the other GPS drivers 
only Ublox supports nav_setting so far
 2012-06-10 16:34:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 926dfbc0e9 GPS: added auto-configuration of UBlox GPS 
the Ublox will now auto-configure for 5Hz with just the messages we
want. It also supports setting the navigation engine type
 2012-06-10 16:34:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 04a71197f9 FastSerial: avoid buffer re-allocation on re-open if possible 
we commonly re-open serial ports a lot in the AUTO GPS driver
 2012-06-09 07:43:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f347572fc2 SITL: map() is a C++ function, so needs to be in C++ part of the header 
this fixes the ACM build

this ensures all GPS parsers have a 256 byte buffer available
 2012-06-08 16:42:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ddebf7b443 GPS: fixed the UBLOX parser to handle unknown messages 
the parser was broken in several ways:

 1) when it received an unknown message it didn't update the ck_a and ck_b fields, so it
    thought the message had a bad checksum, which meant it got out of protocol sync

 2) the read() method would return false if the last message from the GPS was of an unknown type. 
    So we relied on the last msg always being one that we understand and want

 3) the parser considered any valid UBLOX message to be 'new data', whereas we only actually get 
    a new fix when we get box a new position and velned message

 4) the total message size per update is more than 128 bytes, but the serial port was opened 
    with only a 128 byte buffer, so we got corruption regularly

Andrew Tridgell c2fb8a7a98 DataFlash: use ChipErase() instead of PageErase() on all pages 
This makes the DataFlash erase much faster (about 6 seconds instead of
about 60 seconds).

We need to test and ensure the behaviour is equivalent apart from the
speed
 2012-05-22 19:29:02 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 8f27297896 DCM: fixed a bug when using GPS for yaw correction 
When using GPS for yaw correction we need to apply the x and y omegaI
corrections from the _omega_I_sum in the period before we get to the
minimum ground speed for GPS yaw correction. Otherwise we get a large
sudden omega_I change on takeoff.

 2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell bff8fc8947 APM_RC: added OutputCh_current() method 
this allows logging of the actual servo output values. The radio_out
method previously used doesn't take account of the various override
mechanisms available via waypoints
 2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6d837891b0 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds 
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.
 2012-04-23 12:13:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 398a608b83 DCM: drop the 'drop z' method 
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

  http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:Comment:834373

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.

rmackay9 c62ce95768 AP_Motors - allow tail servo to be reversed. Closes ArduCopter issue #228 2012-04-21 23:07:57 +09:00
rmackay9 346ca5c865 DataFlash_APM2 - moved CS_inactive call (which disables the dataflash) from the beginning to the end of all methods. This means the dataflash does not monopolize the SPI bus. 
Also formatting changes to use tab instead of space. Sorry, should have done this as a separate check-in to the above changes.

this adds local and remote radio noise levels
 2012-04-08 12:22:17 +10:00
rmackay9 1b4ac37e66 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed stability patch issue in which it would not limit a motor's output unless an opposite motor had been defined. This would only have affected Y6 frames. 2012-04-07 12:16:12 +09:00
rmackay9 e63e858b64 AP_MotorsOcta - V Frame - test order fix spotted by David Wiens 2012-04-07 08:11:28 +09:00
rmackay9 d0cbd577cd AP_Motors - fixed last "shadowing" compiler warning caused by badly named parameter in auto_armed method. 2012-04-05 00:28:04 +09:00
rmackay9 c27b83c8a8 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed another compiler error regarding shadowing a variable. Fixed by removing those the angle and direction arrays which weren't even used 2012-04-05 00:24:56 +09:00
rmackay9 e9f0103063 AP_MotorsHeli - fixed compiler warning re move_swash function declared with int parameters in .h file but actually using int16_t in .cpp file. They're the same in arduino but perhaps the build checker is a little more strict that Arduino. 2012-04-05 00:06:33 +09:00
rmackay9 40e5a15452 AP_Motors - fix compiler warning re shadowing a variable caused by badly named parameter in armed function. 
Another compiler warning fixed in AP_MotorsMatrix.cpp caused by declaring "i" twice.
 2012-04-04 23:59:51 +09:00
rmackay9 71ad185238 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.
 2012-04-02 17:26:37 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 5ce5f3d176 MAVLink: import change to txbuf as a percentage 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8a215c8b55 MAVLink: imported new headers, with RADIO packet 2012-04-01 21:44:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 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
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c2ff66c9cd examples: fixed build of some examples with new AP_Declination code 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 825340d53d Compass: added COMPASS_AUTODEC option 
when this is 1 (which is the default), we will get the declination
automatically via the AP_Declination library

when it is 0 we will use the value configured by the user
 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e4e052ff91 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
 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell edb627a5c1 AP_Declination: added timing information to declination test 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 01c4cde14f AP_Declination: fixed build under SITL 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 9c414e9573 AP_Declination_test: Updated test with better print messages. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera cff189e911 AP_Declination: Update LUT based on the changes that I made in the LUT generation code. This LUT is the final version that has no truncation. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 380b9ece44 AP_Declination: Updated comments to reflect new LUT size. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00
Adam M Rivera c04e074c89 AP_Declination: Removed trailing zero deltas as they have no impact on the final value and only take up extra bytes. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 662f11f801 AP_Declination: Updated compressed lookup value table. Located 9 more failure points due to truncation on the packed LUT. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 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. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 08259bb2de AP_Declination: Updated test to run in 5 degree increments. Changed to only print failures and also print total pass vs total fail. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 64c236800c AP_Declination: Moved check for y index of zero to after the y index is properly transformed. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 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
Adam M Rivera 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
Adam M Rivera 8b1c383f97 AP_Declination: Updated packed exception signs array. I had the signs packed incorrectly. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera c0813f8d62 AP_Declination: Changed test to run in increments of 10 degrees. 1 was too granular. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 289d7a2784 AP_Declination: Added original array to test sketch. Added loop to validate new compressed array against original in 1 degree steps. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 63ce400f77 AP_Declination: Moved rows with large spikes in delta to their own unsigned exception rows. The signs are in a separate packed array. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 782c1aaaa3 AP_Declination: Implemented Delta Encoding and Run-Length Encoding. Added method to traverse the compressed array and return the lookup value based on the same lat_index/lon_index that was used before. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 9888a4730f AP_Declination: Changed PROGMEM read function to pgm_read_word_far to support the int16_t datatype. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera d883bdf75e AP_Declination: Changed datatype to int16_t to support the -90 <-> 90 latitude range. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 719636d00c AP_Declination: Reduced the size of the lookup table to support -75 <-> 70 latitude range. This allows the datatype to remain int8_t. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 071f89df2e AHRS: fixed error_yaw reporting with 2 MAVLink connections 
when a user first connects with USB, and later switches to the
telemetry port without restarting we were getting zero for error_yaw
in the logs, as AHRS.get_error_yaw() was being called twice.

This ensures we give the last value after the counter is reset
 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 20941c15c3 Compass: fixed a comment 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell dc127fe749 SITL: ensure we don't run the sitl timer twice 
this caused problems with random()
 2012-03-28 20:55:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a011578f9 Compass: implement noise resistant varient of offset learning 
This adds a large amount of noise robustness to the compass offset
learning algorithm, at a cost of 120 bytes of memory. The changes are
based on a long discussion with Bill Premerlani.
 2012-03-28 20:55:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 16f094a1c5 ADC: minor fix to the ADC Ch6() code 
we don't need to add count any more, as floating point maths doesn't
need to round up

Andrew Tridgell a3d3dd86cf Compass: implement Bills new offset nulling algorithm 
this seems to work much better than the old algorithm, converging
faster and more accurately. Even better, it has no linkage to DCM, so
no possibility of nasty feedback effects
 2012-03-27 15:37:24 +11:00
rmackay9 cf1a6f8ab8 APM_RC - moved Force_Out0_Out1, Force_Out2_Out3 and Force_Out6_Out6 to APM_RC parent class because it's already implemented in the APM1 and APM2 child classes anyway 2012-03-25 21:13:31 +09:00
rmackay9 2324be7e68 Filter - added simple LowPassFilter (simple but it's possible to make errors with simple stuff too so might as well have one) 2012-03-25 16:15:25 +09:00
rmackay9 bdda74fd28 Filter - remove obsolete warning from comments re alloc/malloc dangers 2012-03-25 16:14:07 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell fb9790e1f4 Math: moved matrix multiple operations to .cpp file 
this means we only link this in once, rather than for every use of
matrix multiply, which saves us some flash space

We need to be careful not to put large pieces of code in template
headers, as if the operation is used a lot, it costs us a lot of code
space

rmackay9 f3eb15167c AP_Baro - removed unnecessary 2 element average filtering of pressure (there is a 4 or 5 element average filter in arducopter code itself, two places is messy) 
- also removed unused _offset_press variable
 2012-03-18 15:18:05 +09:00
rmackay9 ed0d1da4f5 AP_Baro - added average filter for temperature to replace broken filter 
- added average filter (for last two values) for raw pressure
        - changed some "long" to int32_t and "unsigned long" to uint32_t

Andrew Tridgell 9a6adb9990 DCM: adjust yaw kp constant down to 0.4 
this makes the time constant for compass errors closely match the
timing of the older releases - about 10 seconds for a 1 radian change
in heading
 2012-03-12 17:49:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell aa408655f8 Compass: fixed the order of rotations in the compass driver

Andrew Tridgell 71d3847bfc SITL: added a drift_level multiplier 
this makes it easier to experiment with different gyro drift levels
 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 61ebcfe9fe DCM: fixed the averaging of accel values for update_DCM_fast() 
this should improve drift correction for ArduCopter
 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell de32c3bc31 AP_Math: added a .zero() method to Vector3f 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a0e2e69431 SITL: fixed delay() to account for signal interrupions 
when a timer went off we stopped the delay() code
 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 37ab76c9e6 DCM_Test: fixed example code to work with SITL 
this also fixes the compass setup
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d2a969ee95 SITL: push noise level to 2.0 for DCM testing 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 79b8ddc236 DCM: added a small amount of accel smoothing to update_DCM_fast() 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 55413bfcc1 DCM: don't use the z accel sensor for drift correction 
the z accel is the noisest, and seems to do more harm than good. Using
just x and y is sufficient for drift correction by assuming the vector
length
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a78b00513b DCM: added a small amount of gyro and accel smoothing 
possibly not needed, but convenient to be able to test with different
values
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 82032b17a9 DCM: added reporting interfaces for DCM state 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ae6a94a933 SITL: added sitl_simstate_send() 
used to report simulator state in logs
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d106e3a970 MAVLink: import new message types DCM, HWSTATUS and SIMSTATE 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4e354a9731 DCM: got rid of _error_roll_pitch from object state 
this can be a local error variable in common with the yaw code. This
saves 12 bytes in the object.

Jason Short 13e9608fb8 Consolidated Barometer pressure sensing to a single filter based on Randy's new filter class. 2012-03-08 23:13:04 -08:00
Jason Short 34cf1e8fb3 Updated on Barometer - increased the Temp filtering and decreased the pressure filtering to and get less temp noise, faster response from pressure. I'm filtering the Climb rate differently now, so this higher pressure noise should not hurt the derivative calcs at all now. 2012-03-06 20:55:35 -08:00
rmackay9 6c1299fe7e AP_RC - removed unused library 2012-03-04 18:21:52 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell dd9065123c SITL: use the new noise model 
use the new noise model at a low level for master until we sort out
DCM noise handling
 2012-03-02 18:31:07 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 63ea5dfb49 APM_RC: allow the fast RC speed to be passed as a parameter 
this will allow users to test different speeds
 2012-03-02 17:57:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f1a389fe19 AP_Param: ensure we can't have duplicate keys in Parameters.h 
this is O(n^2), but only at startup, and takes less than 1ms to run.
It catches a very nasty coding error
 2012-03-02 15:48:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1476f044e6 I2C: added lockup_count() interface 
used for reporting I2C problems
 2012-03-02 15:48:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c9031f1d36 SITL: implement cli()/sei() properly for desktop build 
this disables simulated hardware interrupts during critical sections
 2012-03-02 15:48:27 +11:00
Jason Short 59e1d43f60 Updated fastPWM to 490Hz 2012-02-29 22:17:38 -08:00
Pat Hickey 8fa559930f AP_Param: nested group recursion into next_group disableable by macro 
* c.f. 0251932c81fe7eb, e5515bb6ef82

rmackay9 0311b70004 AP_Baro - fixed small compiler warning to do with order of parameters in constructor 2012-02-29 22:46:29 +09:00
rmackay9 64f9f1d92e AP_Compass - fixed small compiler warning to do with order of parameters in constructor 2012-02-29 22:45:49 +09:00
rmackay9 7c1d1b45a7 AP_DCM - fixed small compiler warning to do with order of parameters in constructor 2012-02-29 22:45:26 +09:00
rmackay9 3cbd172ea9 RC_Channel - fixed small compiler warning 2012-02-29 22:44:29 +09:00
rmackay9 ced49f7d01 AP_ADC - removed small compiler warning 2012-02-29 22:43:46 +09:00
Pat Hickey 42078f2794 AP_Param: Make nested group recursion disableable by macro 
* Eliminates recursive calls inside AP_Param.
  This is important to Pat @ Galois, but not the project in general.
  Recursion depth on these functions is bounded structurally using
  existing nested group constructors (can't create loops in finite space)
  and checked at init time
 2012-02-28 16:28:27 -08:00
rmackay9 400a4b0bdb AP_RangeFinder - changed example sketch to work with new Filter library 2012-02-28 21:02:10 +09:00
rmackay9 5b89c65d9c Filter - updated example sketch to use modified library 2012-02-28 21:01:35 +09:00
rmackay9 d17a015df1 Filter - added AverageFilter, removed SumFilter 
added FilterWithBuffer to allow removal of malloc/free without losing ability to pass around filter objects
 2012-02-28 21:01:11 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 078268528e AP_Param: show numerical value in eeprom dump utility 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 701da6c30f AP_Param: fixed v.load() on a sub-element of a AP_Vector3f 
this isn't actually used at the moment in APM, but we should get it
right in case someone does try to load a single element of a vector
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 34f1ebcfb4 SITL: simulate noise on each ADC channel separately 
scale the noise based on the period of the motors
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4cdc0a8c11 SITL: raise the ADC noise level to 8 bits when flying 
this is about the level of noise of a aircraft that has a lot of
vibration
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b32701e008 IMU: removed unused accel_filtered code 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ac44b73951 AP_Param: fixed setting of CAM_P_G in ArduCopter 
the variable CAM_P_G has the same prefix as the CAM_P group. We want
to allow for parameters having a common prefix with a group, so we
need to keep searching after we've found a group that matches the
prefix
 2012-02-27 10:54:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7fe4a41c31 AP_Param: make the templating code a bit clearer 
add comments on the arguments, and name them in a clearer way
 2012-02-27 10:54:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bf138fb38 DCM: fixed the sense of the compass GPS test in initial yaw 
we were only disabling null offsets when we didn't have a compass,
which doesn't make much sense!
 2012-02-26 22:24:45 +11:00
rmackay9 747e045193 ModeFilter - corrected shadowed variable compiler warning for drop_high_sample 2012-02-26 17:57:28 +09:00
rmackay9 e01477a7a8 Filter - added AverageFilter - this will be used in place of SumFilter because it removes the possibility of overflows 2012-02-26 17:34:36 +09:00
rmackay9 b345529241 Filter - removed shadowing of variables in constructors for Filter, ModeFilter and SumFilter (sorry tridge!) 
increased maximum sample buffer size from 6 to 10
 2012-02-26 17:17:46 +09:00
