2013-11-23 19:29:22 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 490a061c6f Plane: added HIL_ERR_LIMIT

Andrew Tridgell 5bf1463e7a Plane: added RALLY_LIMIT_KM
this will prevent an embarressing use of a rally point from the wrong
airfield
2013-10-06 14:51:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell 011915eb1c Plane: added error checking to rally load save
sanity check the rally points
2013-10-03 12:21:08 +10:00
Michael Day 497c95de8e Plane: Add support for rally points.
Added parameter RALLY_TOTAL.

Added handlers for new MAVLink messages RALLY_POINT and
RALLY_FETCH_POINT.

defines.h modified to make room in EEPROM to store rally points.

rally.pde added and is responsible for ensuring rally points get
stored in the correct spot in EEPROM.

Multiple Rally/RTL point support now done.  If rally points have
been defined, then when RTL mode is entered, the closest Rally
point is chosend and the plane loiters at that point.

Note only 10 rally points can be defined; this is to save space in
the APM's EEPROM.

Andrew Tridgell 74c8c8aafa Plane: auto-upgrade battery variables in EEPROM 2013-10-03 11:16:12 +09:00

Mike McCauley 3ddcdba659 Plane: Parameters BATTERY_MONITORING for Flymaple 2013-09-24 13:51:28 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell dd6a69f588 Plane: added WP_MAX_RADIUS parameter
useful when using AUTO_FBW_STEER for manual steering in competitions
2013-09-13 17:43:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell 8010d7fd78 Plane: update battery pin docs 2013-09-12 13:43:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0c8d56632e Plane: fixed SR0 and SR3 autodocs 2013-09-12 09:53:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 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.

Andrew Tridgell b8fa83ff54 Plane: change default slewrate to 100%/second 2013-07-22 12:50:02 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6e288551ab Plane: fixed reversion to pre-failsafe mode
if AUTO was entered using GCS, we need to switch back to the old mode,
not control channel
2013-07-22 12:50:02 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 74dabad1f3 Plane: added SKIP_GYRO_CAL parameter
useful for starting the sim at high altitudes, and for starting planes
without having to hold them still
