Andrew Tridgell 6bae5ecd51 APM: added THR_SUPP_MAN option
this allows for manual throttle control during auto throttle
suppression. This is useful for keeping a petrol engine idling before
takeoff

file

Andrew Tridgell 63940d3ab6 APM: don't send GPS_STATUS MAVLink message

GPS_RAW_INT in MAVLink 1.0
2012-09-22 20:12:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cbc4a57abb APM: send airspeed sensor value, not estimate, when enabled
this solves the problem of people reporting that airspeed is not shown
when ARSPD_USE is zero.

this prevents non-manual channels changing value away from the trim
value on startup
2012-09-16 15:51:01 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 5f3ffe4839 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!
2012-09-11 16:39:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e672628ea APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c9a299665c APM: added speed scaling to wheeled steering
this allows for a larger amount of steering control at low speeds
without causing osciallation after takeoff
2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0812fc4890 APM: reboot only works on the APM2 2012-09-10 11:50:48 +10:00

this allows for remote reboot of APM
2012-09-10 11:42:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e2779523ea APM: fixed fetch of relative altitude waypoints
when we fetch relative altitude waypoints from APM to a file, we need
to preserve the altitude
2012-09-10 09:40:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell feb3fe77ce APM: simplify radio_trim code
this removes the duplicate code. Throttle trim is not changed.
2012-09-09 19:39:09 +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

Andrew Tridgell dec12c7370 APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places
this applies the wind constraint

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 130b26e1f9 APM: support DO_SET_SERVO command 2012-09-08 10:06:53 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell a446a7a9ed APM: allow serial buffer size to be configured
very useful for packet forwarding setups
2012-09-08 10:06:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b2ad55773 APM: added forwarding of unknown MAVLink types 2012-09-08 10:06:15 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 68705fe7e6 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

Andrew Tridgell 83153eebd4 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX
2012-08-30 20:15:42 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9a987ce116 APM: fixed docs for LIM_PITCH_MIN 2012-08-30 14:55:08 +10:00

number of seconds to delay telemetry

Craig Elder 4ad516c445 Arducopter: increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Arduplane:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Ardurover:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking

Andrew Tridgell e2b8817a89 APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

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

Andrew Tridgell d13d117e61 APM: removed reset_I() and instead auto-reset integrator in PID library
this prevents us resetting key integrators on waypoint change, while
still preventing old integrators being used when a PID starts to be
used again
2012-08-28 20:18:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dcbd0fbd44 APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

Amilcar Lucas b48a1f1fc4 ArduPlane: Fix 1280 builds

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

Andrew Tridgell 6ab2a861f7 APM: added RSSI to RC_CHANNELS_RAW as well
and prevent double read
2012-08-22 13:58:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d5bb7c51b APM: added RSSI in raw message too 2012-08-22 13:48:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c0c0b8c976 APM: added RECEIVER_RSSI_PIN option
this allows for the receiver RSSI to be sent over MAVLink

Thanks to Burt Green for the suggestion
2012-08-22 13:33:12 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d445482ace APM: added optional use of new APM_Control library
