Amilcar Lucas 82b82283be ATmega1280 does not have enough memory for mount support so disable AUTO GPS support, to allow mount support to fit.
This should almost have no side effects, because the most users use MTK anyways.
If the user defined a GPS protocol, than we will NOT overwrite it

Andrew Tridgell 301ab00c5b APM: added control switch debouncer
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

Andrew Tridgell 6bcfe913f7 APM: added a SCALING_SPEED parameter
this allows users to adjust the base speed used for scaling roll/pitch
PIDs. This can be used to make PIDs work for both airspeed and
non-airspeed control

Andrew Tridgell 7e697e4abd APM: switch back to old nav_roll calculation
the old nav_roll will be used for the 2.50 release to prevent the need
for re-tuning. For the release after that we will use the new
calculation

Andrew Tridgell d6e370886f APM: rename airspeed_cruise to airspeed_cruise_cm to make the units clearer
it is in cm/s, not m/s
2012-07-19 11:50:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1cf5057c61 APM: Use g.airspeed_cruise for turn rate calculation if the airspeed sensor is disabled.
This gives our best approximation for auto flight

Jonathan Challinger c7da63509b APM: Removed unused YAW_DAMPENER code.
YAW_DAMPENER was defined as zero
2012-07-19 11:50:21 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger d9d055ef78 APM: Removed incorrect nav_gain_scaler from nav_roll calculation.
nav_gain_scaler was originally added due to a perceived improvement in
loiter performance, but is incorrect for navigation. Turn rate is a
function of airspeed and bank angle, ground speed has no effect on
that.

get within the waypoint radius we also consider it completed

2012-05-28 20:51:12 -07:00
Pat Hickey 1c00d1ffe3 ArduPlane: Fix effect of ELEVON_REVERSE
* Previously, the ELEVON_REVERSE parameter was equivelant in function to the
  ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE parameter. These parameter values are found in
  g.reverse_elevons and g.reverse_ch1_elevon, and used to map to the radio_out
  channels in ArduPlane/Attitude.pde
* It seems the author's intent was for ELEVON_REVERSE to change the sign for
  the combination of pitch & roll into ch1 & ch2, as there are already
  parameters which change just the sign of ch1 and just the sign of ch2.
* Discovered this bug because I happened to build an elevon airframe which was
  not possible to setup with the existing ELEVON_ and RCn_REV parameters.
* This will break existing elevon setups if the user used ELEVON_REVERSE
  instead of ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE, since they were previously interchangable.

Andrew Tridgell d9457ecc38 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got

more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair

Andrew Tridgell b3aa704c49 AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

Andrew Tridgell 7b50724f60 MAVLink: allow for find grained stream rate control
streams can now be requested at any multiple of 20ms. So if you ask

Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 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

Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 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

Andrew Tridgell 0248b48d30 allow MAG_ENABLE to be changed in flight
this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
flight. Without this we would use a fixed yaw once the compass is
disabled

This also makes sure we don't pass the compass to DCM till we have
done a read. This ensures we have a good compass fix for the initial
DCM heading

Andrew Tridgell c14097ffa1 APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.

This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c662140a2b APM: report the nav_bearing as hold_course when enabled
this gives a more accurate view of the navigation code, as when
hold_course is not -1 it overrides nav_bearing
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 330ff5dc8b APM: added some comments related to hold_course
hold_course is either -1 (for disabled) or a course to hold for
takeoff/landing. This makes the code a bit clearer.

It also resets hold_course in all non-auto modes, to ensure it isn't
used
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 11835508a7 when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.

This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.

This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'

Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs.  The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.

Doug Weibel e22a83eec0 Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI.  Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer.  If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values.  I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

Doug Weibel 9846822748 Bug fix for compass.
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start.  This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets.  Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug?  The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix.  This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge. 

If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all.  Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large.  Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.

To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm.  Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples.  The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.
