Robert Lefebvre 3f0e8dd358 ACM: TradHeli 
Bringing in Low Pas Filter
Commented out because it does not build.
Needs updates to Low Pass Filter Lib
 2012-11-26 21:21:12 -05:00
Robert Lefebvre e8d619acad ACM: Begin creation of TradHeli rate control. 
May affect Multi-Rotors.
 2012-11-26 21:02:41 -05:00
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 95eeda7cf7 ACM: TradHeli 
Removing Angle Boost function.
Does not make sense for helis due to aerodynamics.  Can cause more problems than it solves.
 2012-11-26 18:58:21 -05:00
Robert Lefebvre 8056b78c55 ACM: TradHeli 
Remove Rate I-term reset when throttle stick is on the bottom.  This could be very bad for helis since it's plausible to use full downstick while flying.
There is obviously a risk here of building up a false I-term on the ground but this isn't a good solution for that anyway.
Also removed what appears to be some deadwood.

Jason Short 770956a3fd ACM : Made control_roll and pitch global for logging; made yaw towards waypoint use initial angle and not a recalculated angle to deal with wiggles as we approach WP 2012-08-16 15:39:50 -07:00
rmackay9 36f947acb9 ArduCopter: changed all "int" to "int16_t" and a few "long"s to "int32_t". 
Also moved "simple_counter" variable from global scope to the "update_simple_mode" function which is the only place that it's actually used.
 2012-08-16 20:04:46 +09:00
Jason Short a4bc5950cf ACM: Added a filtered version of Location for GPS lag. 
I did this because when you are close to a WP the Yaw angle can go a bit wacky as the location jumps around. The filtered loc is only used in the wp_distance calculation now.

This has the added benefit of saving 60 bytes and simplifying Mission Planner gui.
Moved some code from RC_Channel_aux to AP_Mount class
The servos get written by the update_mount_position() function, this simplifies main()
PS: The beauty of using libraries: I did not have to touch a single line of ArduPlane's code!
 2012-08-05 23:48:57 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas b8c7b8a786 RC_Channel: Allow each channel to know who they are, this simplifies the enabling and output function calls. 2012-08-05 23:08:31 +02:00

removed old Var
 2012-07-18 22:57:10 -07:00
Jason Short cb1cdcd4a7 Arducopter: New Alt control code 
Uses a new method to manage altitude changes. Alt hold controller was split into a hold and a rate controller just like navigation. Changing alt is done by specifying a climb rate.
Interactive alt hold is now simplified and is an 80cm climb or descent.
 2012-07-18 22:57:10 -07:00
Jason Short 5965632888 Arducopter: Flip mode 
Flip mode graduates to pre-compiled option

- waits 1.5 seconds before entering hold
- bounce free
 2012-07-01 13:40:12 -07:00
Jason Short c5617eeeac Arducopter.pde_RTL: 
added a new RTL function that goes into Loiter, first, checks if we have reached RTL_Altitude, then enters WP mode to come home.
Removes Approach mode. Uses Auto_Approach value to decide if we should land or descend to a certain altitude
 2012-07-01 13:40:11 -07:00

rmackay9 c62cc4844e ArduCopter: updated firmware to simply 2.6 (i.e. removed Epsilon) ahead of the release 2012-06-15 00:42:59 +09:00
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.

Jason Short 08bf04dd08 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 09f4a16bfb changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

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
