Robert Lefebvre 782ce54a5c TradHeli: Fix for yaw offset switching. Yaw Offset should switch on and off with the main motor, not waiting until the rotor has reached full speed. 2013-12-15 11:24:09 +09:00
Randy Mackay 4148c4e024 TradHeli: bug fix for main rotor ramp up
The main rotor ramp was being held back by the rotor speed estimate
instead of being allowed to jump up to the estimate if it's lower.

Also fixed some incorrect indentation

Rewrote tail and main rotor ramp up methods
Moved direct drive ESC speed control into rsc_control method
Pass in ch7 servo as servo_aux to TradHeli motors object constructor
split CH7_SETPOINT parameter into GYR_GAIN and DIRECTDRIVE parameters
replaced RSC_RATE with uint8_t RSC_RAMP_TIME parameter
rename GOV_SETPOINT parameter to RSC_SETPOINT
RSC_MODE parameter description updated to indicate it controls the
source of main rotor speed

Robert Lefebvre 9ac051c56d TradHeli: BugFix to ColYaw
Credit to Jolyon Saunders for finding this bug.

Robert Lefebvre 4426060ccc TradHeli: COLYAW not applied when the motor is not running 2013-11-15 22:58:06 +09:00
Robert Lefebvre 9ae66c1773 TradHeli: add support for drive tail rotors
Repurposed external gyro and made it multi-funcitonal.
required PWM on Ch8 to start the motor in RSC Mode moved up from 100 to 400. This is to facilitate two-stage switching of the motors with PWM>100 starting the tail motor, and PWM>400 starting the main motor.

Robert Lefebvre 0eb57bf93d ACM: TradHeli
Fix to make update_throttle_cruise work with stab_throttle scaling.

Robert Lefebvre a5c4e65cdf ACM: TradHeli
Fix for Rotor Speed Controller to switch on/off with Ch8 as opposed to the old way (throttle).

Robert Lefebvre 6b1fee767a ACM: TradHeli
Creating Stab_Collective Function to allow for different collective ranges between Stabilize and other modes.
This makes for a smoother collective action in Stabilize mode with manual throttle, while still allowing full collective travel in Acro and other modes.

Robert Lefebvre 4ffc5e211a Fixing Trad Heli Ext ESC Controller
-Added ramp-down rate instead of instantly setting ramp to zero when throttle is dropped to bottom. This is to allow "warm-restart" if shutdown was unintentional.
-Actual ESC still goes to zero while throttle is dropped to the bottom, only the ramp counter winds down slowly behind the scenes.
