c7d5f06b21 AP_Math: added quaternion helper functions and a test suite 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00

f70dfe440d Quaternion: fix the gyro bias in centripetal and remove smoothing
the centripetal code needs to take account of the current gyro
bias.

It turned out that the accel and gyro smoothing was causing
significant control lag, and we're better off just letting the
quaternion code handle it via its own smoothing parameters

47ddd4dfdd SITL: disable interrupts during register updates
this may prevent bogus mode channel reads

7256652de5 Quaternion: use GPS to correct for linear acceleration
this gives much better pitch estimates. We should do this with the
airspeed sensor if available.

c7ef72cf28 Quaternion: don't update if we have a very long deltat

74eef7018a Quaternion: added an AP_Quaternion library
this is for experimenting with the Madgwick quaternion system, to see
if it is more or less noise sensitive than DCM

367947fd33 HWSTATUS: if we don't know the voltage, report it as zero

3b1782f369 DCM: don't use the z accel sensor for drift correction
the z accel is the noisest, and seems to do more harm than good. Using
just x and y is sufficient for drift correction by assuming the vector
length

4031320f7c DCM: added a small amount of gyro and accel smoothing

cc8278c1ac DCM: got rid of _error_roll_pitch from object state
this can be a local error variable in common with the yaw code. This
saves 12 bytes in the object.
