Randy Mackay 85fb4b122a MotorsMatrix: _min_throttle interpreted as 0 ~ 1000 range for throttle_lower flag
Also trigger throttle_upper flag when throttle in reaches 1000
2014-10-04 23:49:14 +09:00
Randy Mackay 91e5201439 Tri: _min_throttle interpreted as 0~1000 range for throttle_lower flag
limit.throttle_lower flag becomes true when the throttle passed into the
motors lib (which is in the 0 ~ 1000 range) is below _min throttle.
This makes the interpretation of the THR_MIN parameter consistent
between the main code (which uses 0 ~ 1000 range) and the motors lib
(which previously used the RC3_MIN ~ RC3_MAX range).
The remaining problem however is that the output of the motors continues
to use THR_MIN as if it were a pwm.  I don't believe this is a dangerous
problem however.

priseborough 8aa267f75f AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of GPS glitch offset
The GPS glitch offset was being zeroed during position resets. This caused the filter to reject subsequent GPS measurements if the GPS error persisted long enough to invoke a timeout and a position reset.

priseborough f99f5759f5 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in GPS innovation variance growth calculation
The uncertainty in acceleration is currently only scaled using horizontal accelerations, however during vertical plane aerobatics and high g pullups, misalignment in angles can cause significant horizontal acceleration error.
The scaling now uses the 3D acceleration vector length to better work during vertical plane high g maneouvres.
This error was found during flight testing with 8g pullups

priseborough f0ee11e951 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position, height and velocity states
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS or baro, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS or baro measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected. This is particularly a problem if IMU saturation or timeout has occurred because the previous states could be out by a large amount
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s.

priseborough f71aeea61d AP_NavEKF : Reduce sensitivity on filter divergence check
Flying aerobatics with Trad Heli has shown that the divergence check can be false triggered when large magnetometer errors and GPS dropouts are present.
This can also happen with multi rotors if large yaw rates are present.
This was an unintended consequence of the ekfsmoothing patch which improved filter stability during high rate manoeuvres, but made the divergence test more sensitive.

priseborough 36bf304f29 AP_NavEKF : Reduce ripple in estimates that can cause copter motor 'pulsing'
This patch reduces the level of 5Hz and 10Hz 'pulsing' heard in motors due to GPS and altimeter fusion which cause a small 5Hz and 10Hz ripple on the output under some conditions. Attitude, velocity and position state corrections from GPS, altimeter and magnetometer measurements are applied incrementally in the interval from receiving the measurement to the predicted time of receipt of the next measurement. Averaging of attitude state corrections is not performed during periods of rapid rotation.

Time stamps are now explicitly initialised to the current IMU time to avoid unwanted activation of timeout logic on filter start and various calls to the hal.scheduler->millis() object have been consolidated.
