Randy Mackay 0056bfadd7 Copter: rename ROLL_PITCH_LOITER
new name ROLL_PITCH_LOITER_INAV makes it more clear that it should only
be used with the new inertial nav loiter controllers
2013-01-25 23:27:31 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell d7409b6a25 HAL_PX4: startup in low priority to fix CLI

sleeping
2013-01-25 20:44:36 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7359348e2c HAL_PX4: added support for /fs/microsd/APM/nostart

Andrew Tridgell 8f2f4b1bc5 HAL_PX4: use write() to /dev/pwm_output for servo output

based IO firmware

2013-01-25 11:34:48 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell f9d43f4c3e HAL_PX4: prevent loop() overruns using hrt
this ensures if loop() takes more than 1 second, the main task gets
its priority dropped until loop() completes

Andrew Tridgell c9799fb2b7 HAL_PX4: writing more than 512 bytes at a time can cause IO errors
the vfat fs in NuttX is really very picky!
2013-01-23 16:54:44 +11:00
Randy Mackay 68fc9ac1d8 Copter: add "f" to end of float constants
This is a small performance improvement for the px4
2013-01-23 14:51:37 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 952df2fced HAL_PX4: new buffered storeage driver for microsd cards
this does all IO in the timer thread, avoids writes that don't change
data, and does all writes in multiples of 128 byte chunks. This should
be about as friendly to SD cards as we can get.

Andrew Tridgell f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers
this prevents output corruption by direct fd writes
2013-01-23 09:22:51 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a10727902 HAL_PX4: run timer thread as SCHED_FIFO
this ensures it never yields to the main thread, which would break our
locking assumptions
2013-01-23 09:21:50 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 930e79a9e1 HAL_PX4: fixed rcin->valid() for RC override input 2013-01-23 07:57:59 +11:00

2013-01-23 07:36:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6e8501603c HAL_PX4: avoid RCOutput ioctl unless values change
this lowers latency somewhat
2013-01-23 07:29:59 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 89cb3fbd61 HAL_PX4: fixed blocking IO in UART driver 2013-01-22 21:52:21 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte

Jonathan Challinger 6565d83e73 InertialNav: Fixed signs, remove body-frame rotation, apply correction at 100hz. 2013-01-22 18:37:45 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 546ed19ffc HAL_PX4: improved efficiency of serial writes
use buffer at a time writes when possible, and use O_NONBLOCKING to
avoid txspace()
2013-01-22 10:50:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 18cfd29f2f HAL_PX4: added a read buffer to the UART driver
this lowers the average cost of reading bytes by a large amount, and
prevents the GPS driver from chewing lots of time.

2013-01-21 22:04:17 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f60d657f72 AP_InertialSensor: added timer for accumulating samples for PX4

2013-01-21 21:51:32 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3d0cb755d2 AP_InertialSensor: user a timer to drive data collection on PX4
