Andrew Tridgell 83e061d564 APM: fixed build warning 2012-09-25 07:21:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 812ed3d8bf APM: change to one low priority status buffer per GCS instance
this allows us to operate the low priority messages on each link
independently.

Thanks to David Buzz for the suggestion!

Andrew Tridgell 3f9bd65d2f 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.

Andrew Tridgell 8e656a60f2 APM: only copy manual channels in failsafe
this prevents non-manual channels changing value away from the trim
value on startup
2012-09-16 15:51:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cf9dd9281c APM: ensure DO_SET_SERVO channels are enabled 2012-09-16 15:08:14 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 4a942bc45d APM: report throttle and ground speed mission changes 2012-09-12 13:09:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 972b8df052 APM: allow for landing pitch control until final stage 2012-09-12 13:09:16 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 77926a6965 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!

Andrew Tridgell 0a9070e4fe 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 72e9c31c17 APM: added speed scaling to wheeled steering
this allows for a larger amount of steering control at low speeds
without causing osciallation after takeoff

this allows for remote reboot of APM
2012-09-10 11:42:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 57ac3f59f2 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 b374f604d6 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 a90182b9d8 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
