Jason Short 1efc9eac58 Arducopter: Adjust landing speed
removed commented out calc_loiter_pitch_roll calls
Changed updateRTL to use 1m be default instead of wp_radius to avoid poor loiter entry speed.

removed old Var

Jason Short cb1cdcd4a7 Arducopter: New Alt control code
Uses a new method to manage altitude changes. Alt hold controller was split into a hold and a rate controller just like navigation. Changing alt is done by specifying a climb rate.
Interactive alt hold is now simplified and is an 80cm climb or descent.

rmackay9 b691c3f658 ArduCopter.pde: added call to set_manual_rc_channel to allow pilot's channel 6 to control pitch.
This initialisation code should be moved to init_ardupilot and/or into the AP_Mount library.

Andreas M. Antonopoulos a976a59c88 AP_Limits: Configuration defaults moved to config.h. Fixed AP_LIMITS==DISABLED handling. 2012-07-16 11:46:43 -07:00
rmackay9 c495a5f36e ArduCopter: added enable_out_ch and output_ch calls for rc_camera_roll, pitch and yaw servos so they actually move 2012-07-15 16:38:28 +09:00
Andreas M. Antonopoulos c73f7ef3ab AP_Limits library, provides modular "limits" such as altitude and geo-fencing. 2012-07-14 19:26:17 -07:00

switched over to barometer.get_climb_rate() * 100
removed +home.alt calcs since home is always 0 altitude
2012-07-10 21:53:38 -07:00
Jason Short 3048d2f9b4 Arducopter: WP_radius
Switching to stored WP_radius in meters, just like Arduplane

Jason Short f019d41729 arducopter.pde
Timer was set =0 at initialization.
2012-07-09 13:13:32 -07:00
Jason Short 8ccda519fa Arducopter.pde:
Added note about -1 to disable feature
Set RTL_Atl by default after reaching home in case we're at the wrong alt.
increased speed of Yaw rotation for WPs
2012-07-03 17:21:46 -07:00
Jason Short e0b3309500 Yaw mode:
Improved hybrid Yaw mode:
- uses rate controller rather than as fast as possible
- waits 1.5 seconds before entering hold
- bounce free
2012-07-01 13:40:12 -07:00
Jason Short c5617eeeac Arducopter.pde_RTL:
added a new RTL function that goes into Loiter, first, checks if we have reached RTL_Altitude, then enters WP mode to come home.
Removes Approach mode. Uses Auto_Approach value to decide if we should land or descend to a certain altitude
2012-07-01 13:40:11 -07:00
Jason Short 2e8eee9306 Added code for self centering throttle - disabled by default. 2012-07-01 13:40:11 -07:00

Adam M Rivera dadc7d5a7d ArduCopter: Loiter Timer should have been set when the approach altitude was set. Previously, land had to be enabled before auto approach would work. 2012-06-28 20:34:53 -05:00

Added check for distance to Loiter WP before overriding a new Loiter position.
Moved calc_loiter_pitch_roll() to 50 hz.
removed the nav_bearing var - not used with new crosstrack.

rmackay9 c62cc4844e ArduCopter: updated firmware to simply 2.6 (i.e. removed Epsilon) ahead of the release 2012-06-15 00:42:59 +09:00
Jason Short c42f9ece43 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

rmackay9 72d76558a7 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

Jason Short 7c6f766251 Speed up automatic disarming to 25 seconds for safety.
renamed AUTO_ARMING_DELAY to AUTO_DISARMING_DELAY
2012-05-29 12:41:35 -07:00
Jason Short f491f5e9ca Removed references to a takeoff timer 2012-05-29 11:28:40 -07:00
Jason Short 08bf04dd08 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 09f4a16bfb changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 5754f97433 reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -07:00
