Plane: fixed disarmed throttle in HIL
2014-01-20 19:41:19 +11:00
b0a0316dd6
Plane: Now using AP_Arming library.
2013-12-11 17:29:23 +11:00
17c9cedac1
Plane: send out HIL servo updates as soon as we can
...
this improves the servo responsiveness of HIL a lot
2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
56f574684d
Plane: fixed throttle failsafe with reversed throttle
2013-11-17 15:32:53 +11:00
231b5ab793
Plane: prevent too large combined pitch/roll angles
...
this reduces the roll limit by cos(pitch) and pitch minimum by
cos(roll). This prevents unreasonable attitudes in all stabilised
modes
Pair-Programmed-With: Paul Riseborough <p_riseborough@live.com.au>
2013-11-04 21:21:42 +11:00
035ac3800a
Plane: use G_Dt for acro angle integration
...
also cleanup some other uses of performance timing
2013-10-12 13:30:27 +11:00
536fbb4a30
Plane: if pilot gives aileron input then disable ground steering
...
otherwise it would be very tricky to do a low pass!
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
d32e58db84
Plane: split out the channel stick mixing
...
makes code a bit clearer
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
3be939eb03
Plane: give manual steering when still
...
useful for servo testing
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
d275f50539
Plane: added GROUND_STEER_ALT and GROUND_STEER_DPS
...
this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
081510d37a
Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter
...
this enables/disables the attitude locking in acro mode, allowing acro
to be a pure rate controller
2013-10-05 07:45:12 +10:00
996eda0080
Plane: Report MAV_STATE_ACTIVE if flying, MAV_STATE_STANDBY otherwise
...
(There are also various error states MAV_STATE_CRITICAL that are unchanged
by this check in).
The is_flying() check is similar to the code in suppress_throttle, but
I wanted to make it very optimistic on thinking we are flying - which is
not what you want for set_throttle...
(AC has similar MAV_STATE_ACTIVE vs MAV_STATE_STANDBY behavior now)
2013-09-21 21:57:07 +10:00
e455ee0a94
Plane: fixed throttle suppression for AUTO_FBW_STEER=1
2013-09-20 17:20:06 +10:00
1869cd52e1
Plane: fixed AUTO_FBW_STEER stick mixing
2013-09-20 17:20:06 +10:00
328e900364
Plane: changed TKOFF_THR_DELAY default to 2
...
this makes it safer for hand launch with pusher props
2013-09-19 21:42:21 +10:00
43cf0736a3
Plane: Auto Takeoff Check updates
...
Adds additional launch angle protection and protection against early
exit from auto causing unexpected motor start on re-entry
2013-09-19 21:37:31 +10:00
43ffe91546
Plane: added FS_ACTION of 2 for glide
...
this allows people without specified settings in their receiver for
failsafe to choose FBWA zero throttle glide on throttle failsafe. That
can be a better choice when flying at a R/C club field
2013-09-15 15:05:39 +10:00
cc6acac1dd
Plane: added AUTO_FBW_STEER option
...
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics
competition where students need to pilot the plane, but they still
need waypoint triggering of payloads
2013-09-13 14:38:09 +10:00
f6688582a6
Plane: added FENCE_ACTION=3 behaviour
...
this makes it safer to enable the geofence as a receiver failsafe
mode. It retains manual throttle control, so if it triggers on the
ground due to the receiver losing signal from the transmitter then the
throttle can be kept low, preventing an unexpected takeoff.

properly document
2013-07-22 13:28:11 +10:00
29c854e676
Plane: remove unused function
2013-07-22 12:50:02 +10:00

2013-07-15 11:12:24 +10:00
dc024d425a
Plane: re-do roll hanging in ACRO mode
...
this avoids the euler angle zeros of the previous method by using a
gyro integrator on the roll axis

this fixes issue #438
2013-07-13 21:45:58 +10:00
cc57bfcf12
Plane: fixed handling of deadzone in ACRO mode
...
RC_Channel norm_input() does not take account of the dead zone
2013-07-12 17:54:51 +10:00
fc67f51901
Plane: added ACRO_ROLL_RATE and ACRO_PITCH_RATE parameters
...
default to 180 degrees/second, which seems reasonable
2013-07-11 09:10:41 +10:00
608007361b
Plane: added initial implementation of ACRO mode
...
rate based control with attitude locking

...
prevents some code duplication
2013-07-10 14:04:22 +10:00
1355b6d89d
Plane: break-up scheduling into smaller pieces
...
ensure mavlink sends don't push us over a scheduling boundary
2013-07-05 18:05:27 +10:00
d30dd7c3f1
Plane: only run TECS when in an auto-throttle mode
...
this prevents integrator buildup in user controlled modes
2013-07-05 14:55:22 +10:00
a5bda3ffef
Plane: changed to using a "aircraft parameters" structure
...
this structure can be passed to libraries to give them easy access to
critical user parameters
2013-07-04 16:56:57 +10:00
d62636d309
Plane: added new TECS altitude controller
...
Includes improvements to takeoff/launch detect logic to support hand
launching for X-8 flight
2013-07-04 16:56:57 +10:00
75ef7c26e1
Plane: update takeoff course when conditions met
...
This allows for change of heading before the final takeoff conditions
are met
thanks to Greg Fletcher for suggesting this

Plane: added secondary rudder support
2013-06-29 17:31:03 +10:00

2013-06-24 13:06:54 +10:00
a1f64d606a

...
should now use rcmap for all inputs
2013-06-03 16:23:48 +10:00
fb9bf21522
Plane: allow channel mapping of first 4 channels
...
this makes it easier to support DSM and SBUS radios

...
use the new controllers, with auto parameter conversion
2013-05-31 14:06:56 +10:00
eba7d6da9a
Plane: removed the old crash_timer code
...
This code is less relevent with the new L1 navigation, and could cause
issues with the pilot not having control after a long dive.
Thanks to Soren for pointing out the issues
See issue #305
2013-05-28 11:19:28 +10:00
767d9d0eb5

the mixing was asymmetric. Many thanks to Soren Kuula for noticing this!
2013-05-27 08:24:35 +10:00
c81421e275
Plane: added MIXING_GAIN parameter
...
this allows for the full range of output on both channels, but can
saturate
