rmackay9 357d6c2d9b ArduCopter: bug fix for reversing tri servo
Extended AP_MotorsTri class to take in pointer to rc_tail servo (rc_7) and we use this servo's REV parameter to determine whether to reverse the output to the tail servo or not

Adam M Rivera 41702aca94 ArduCopter: Updated param name from auto_land_timer to loiter_timer, because it could really be used for more routines like auto-approach. Added timer before approach (20s). 2012-04-16 10:07:57 -05:00

Adam M Rivera 51b70e4d36 ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM. By default the declination will only be set by the automatic declination routine if the user has not saved a declination to the EEPROM. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00

rmackay9 9841cb0335 ArduCopter - small change to ensure both roll and pitch commands are zero before switching out of loiter_override (loiter override becomes true when roll+pitch command is greater than 5 degrees and switches back to false when both become zero)

Andrew Tridgell 2a03a0584f AP_Declination: disable library when AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION is not ENABLED
unfortunately this library was causing avrdude to fail to load the hex

Jason Short 486c56ce41 Consolidated Barometer pressure sensing to a single filter based on Randy's new filter class. 2012-03-08 23:13:04 -08:00
Jason Short 730476fdfd ACM -
Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- remove filtering for Nav_throttle
- added a way to lower the gain on nav_throttle for descents by / climb_rate error by 2 - seems to work OK and keeps copter from dropping like a rock when the Baro drifts quickly lower.
- removed old throttle hold set point code
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250

Jason Short a924c3685e Based on Jani's latest logs I've made two tweaks to alt hold.
The first is to remove the filter on the throttle output for alt_hold.

The second was to open up the constraint on climb rate. This is to deal with larger than expected disturbances causing altitude changes.

Andrew Tridgell e2bbc795ad ACM: use a NULL gps pointer in DCM init
current DCM API does need a GPS reference passed in, but it can be
NULL
2012-02-25 15:08:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 698749dd92 ACM: don't pass a gps pointer to DCM
after discussion with Randy, we don't want ArduCopter to fall back to
GPS for yaw when the compass becomes unhealthy. So we shouldn't pass
the gps object to the DCM code at all.
