Andrew Tridgell fe964fcda0 PID: change to float input/output
this makes the PID library a bit more flexible for smaller range
numbers. Note that this library is used on ArduPlane and Rover, not
Copter

Andrew Tridgell 1121254606 AP_InertialSensor: added filter frequency support to PX4 driver 2013-02-07 11:20:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5643c371b9 AP_InertialSensor: removed unused new_data_available() and temperature() APIs 2013-02-07 10:23:37 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7b1245937c AP_InertialSensor: always sample at 200Hz in MPU6000
this changes the sampling to 200Hz regardless of requested rate, and
it is downsampled inside num_samples_available() using a shift. This
gives better noise resistance in ArduPlane.

This patch also makes it possible to update the filter frequency while
running, which is very useful for bench testing with a vibration
source

Andrew Tridgell db8da71f65 Revert "AP_HAL_AVR: Improved AVRTimer micros() and millis()"
This reverts commit 527dcdf3b9.

This was causing the MPU6000 startup code to fail, due to time running
backwards.

2013-01-23 16:54:44 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 952df2fced HAL_PX4: new buffered storeage driver for microsd cards
this does all IO in the timer thread, avoids writes that don't change
data, and does all writes in multiples of 128 byte chunks. This should
be about as friendly to SD cards as we can get.
2013-01-23 16:37:40 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers

Andrew Tridgell 6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte

Andrew Tridgell 546ed19ffc HAL_PX4: improved efficiency of serial writes
use buffer at a time writes when possible, and use O_NONBLOCKING to
avoid txspace()
2013-01-22 10:50:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 18cfd29f2f HAL_PX4: added a read buffer to the UART driver
this lowers the average cost of reading bytes by a large amount, and
prevents the GPS driver from chewing lots of time.
