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 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE 
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight
is also _much_ better with sensors HIL.
 2013-04-12 17:44:40 +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 dcbe144c7e Plane: prepare for release of 2.71 2013-04-06 17:27:21 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c5e2cfcc3e Plane: preparing for 2.71-beta 2013-04-02 09:25:24 +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
Randy Mackay a49fe272ad Plane: replace gps fix with status 
Required to ensure 3d fix is used for initialising home
 2013-03-27 11:42:02 +09:00
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.

Andrew Tridgell 05e72c6e68 APM: fixed roll in landing approach 2012-09-12 11:53:17 +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 cb88681914 APM: added support for MAV_CMD_PREFLIGHT_REBOOT_SHUTDOWN 
this allows for remote reboot of APM
 2012-09-10 11:42:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 657dd5969f APM: preparing for 2.61 release 2012-09-08 18:36:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dec12c7370 APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places 
this applies the wind constraint
 2012-09-08 11:37:11 +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 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.
 2012-09-08 10:05:58 +10:00
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 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.
 2012-08-28 20:18:24 +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 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!

Andrew Tridgell c730d9072e APM: prepare for ArduPlane 2.60 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d8f99433c APM: removed factor of 0.5 in non-airspeed takeoff pitch 
this limited the pitch far below the specified target pitch
 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
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 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

Andrew Tridgell 343f7d2de0 APM: removed DMP support from ArduPlane 
Without centripetal correction the DMP code will almost certainly
crash a plane
 2012-08-22 11:46:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6d11940ada AHRS: removed Quaternion build support from APM/ACM/rover 2012-08-22 10:42:21 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell df3c8a5bc0 APM: when land_complete is true, use land_pitch 
this gives a flare on final landing
 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 47be6d8ad1 AP_Airspeed: remove airspeed filter and run at 10Hz 
this saves on the filter memory, and gives just as good a result
 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8cb55eb75a APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message 
this will be used for failsafe processing
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2865434d02 APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane 
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f1d5645b APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS 
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9b09d2c93 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning 
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available

Amilcar Lucas 4ba847c449 The mount type must be updated periodically 2012-08-04 18:44:08 +02:00
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.

rmackay9 06e35820e5 ArduPlane: allow MPU6000's DMP to be used for attitude estimation.

 2012-07-28 19:50:40 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 9eb05a2e1a APM: update version for 2.50 release 2012-07-26 11:36:17 +10:00
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

Jeff Taylor d02655ac56 APM: Fixed bug where landing_pitch wasnt initialized properly 
this adds a new LAND_PITCH_CD parameter to control the landing pitch
when an airspeed sensor is not being used
 2012-07-19 13:59:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d6e370886f APM: rename airspeed_cruise to airspeed_cruise_cm to make the units clearer 
it is in cm/s, not m/s

Andrew Tridgell 99b11e4f19 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.

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 f43f5900bc Telemetry: make it possible to use UART2 on APM2 
building with TELEMETRY_UART2=ENABLED allows you to use the solder
bridge on the APM2 to enable telemetry on UART2. This allows both USB
telemetry and a radio at the same time.
