Jason Short e31a1d969f Inertial Nav disabled by default 2012-06-13 22:37:52 -07:00
Jason Short c42f9ece43 Inertial Control 
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.
 2012-06-13 22:34:45 -07:00
rmackay9 65050775e1 ArduCopter: made Robert's new yaw method optional (off by default).

Jason Short c2d14a5cad RC_Channel fix for throttle output. 
throttle was outputting incorrectly and allowing the user to max out the throttle leaving nothing for attitude control
 2012-05-31 14:59:03 -07:00

Jason Short 7df1aa2914 Arducopter.pde : setting rtl_approach_alt above 1 would force auto landing even if auto-landing was disabled. 2012-05-23 22:00:56 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell d9457ecc38 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately 
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair
 2012-05-23 17:33:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 66544a5db2 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs

makes no sense

Robert Lefebvre c8fb9a6635 More CopterLEDS changes. 
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2.  Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2.  Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code.  Legacy users should see no difference.

rmackay9 f8210b164c ArduCopter - Parameters.h - changed initialisation order to remove compiler warning (have not changed enum values so shouldn't require eeprom format id update) 2012-04-09 17:37:06 +09:00
rmackay9 df85051574 ArduCopter - added dataflash logging of roll and pitch rate controllers 2012-04-08 10:19:20 +09:00

 2012-04-04 23:05:26 +09:00
rmackay9 1d086c83f0 ArduCopter - system.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of the move to use AP_Motors library. 2012-04-04 23:03:21 +09:00
rmackay9 4aa40bdf10 ArduCopter - setup.pde - changed cli for helicopter to call the new AP_Motors class's parameters instead of the global parameters.

 2012-04-04 23:02:29 +09:00
rmackay9 473126581d ArduCopter - radio.pde - changed motor initialisation to set update rate, frame orientation, min and max throttle to AP_Motors class. 
Note: perhaps the motors speed at least should be moved to a parameter within the motors class.
output_min function greatly simplified as this is handled by the AP_Motors class.
 2012-04-04 23:00:56 +09:00
rmackay9 905a445391 ArduCopter - motors.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" because we've moved to using the AP_Motors class. 
Simplified set_servos_4 function which was responsible for calling "output_motors_armed" or "output_motors_disarmed" as this determination as to whether the motors are armed or not is handled within the AP_Motors class.
 2012-04-04 22:58:42 +09:00
rmackay9 aa54458dcf ArduCopter - leds.pde - changed refrences to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" 2012-04-04 22:57:50 +09:00
rmackay9 7df17e9b3b ArduCopter - removed references to MOT_1 etc as these are now within the AP_Motors class (i.e. MOT_1 has become AP_MOTORS_MOT_1) 2012-04-04 22:56:07 +09:00
rmackay9 ee308ea06c ArduCopter - increased firmware version to 118. Removed nearly all heli parameters as these are all created by the AP_MotorHeli class now. 
Note: we cannot move the heli_servos to the AP_MotorHeli class yet because of a small issue in the parameters class.
 2012-04-04 22:55:07 +09:00
rmackay9 8402a3d837 ArduCopter - Log.pde - changed MOT output to dataflash to take values from AP_Motors class's motor_out array instead of the global motor_out array. 2012-04-04 22:53:21 +09:00
rmackay9 e5710958bc ArduCopter - GCS_Mavlink.pde - changed output to ground station to use new AP_Motor's class motors array inplace of the global "motor_out" array. 2012-04-04 22:52:26 +09:00
rmackay9 aa4085183c ArduCopter - Attitude.pde - moved heli_get_angle_boost from heli.pde (which will be removed) to Attitude.pde. In fact we should combine heli_get_angle_boost and the regular get_angle_boost. 2012-04-04 22:51:39 +09:00
rmackay9 54a0709759 ArduCopter - add includes for new AP_Motors classes. 
Remove global motor_filtered and motor_out arrays.
Removed all global heli variables.
replace "motor_armed" with "motors.armed()"
removed output to rc_4 for tri because this is now handled by AP_MotorsTri class
 2012-04-04 22:50:43 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell c0a54762c6 MAVLink: port the new adaptive flow control to ArduCopter 
This allows for arbitrary stream rates, and supports flow control if
you are using a 3DR radio
 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
rmackay9 75d7308fb4 ArduCopter - CH6 tuning - changed Roll/Pitch Rate D tuning to use the user supplied tuning range instead of the range / 100. 
also changed heli_ext_gyro_gain to make it use the tuning range directly.
 2012-03-31 09:28:25 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information 
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.

This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7634f541b9 ACM: use set_blocking_writes(false) when we arm motors 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes 
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient

As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0bc604f030 ACM: removed FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE 
we now have the EEPROM option COMPASS_AUTODEC instead
 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
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 0efb0e5b4d ArduCopter - added CH6_STABILIZE_KD tuning value 2012-03-29 21:09:41 +09:00

        #define CH6_YAW_RATE_KD 26

Andrew Tridgell 458d55e5bc MAVLink: constrain variable changes to the datatype range

- 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

Hi Pat,
This may have been my WIP for the Mavlink 1.0 conversion. I tried to
give Tridge a head start on it. I've made small updates to it in
parallel to the current Mavlink. You can delete it as he would have used
it by now if he felt it was helpful.

Andrew Tridgell 0248b48d30 allow MAG_ENABLE to be changed in flight 
this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
