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.

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

rmackay9
ad9a8acbab ArduCopter - test.pde - changed references "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of move to AP_Motors library.
Change to ESC initialisation calls to use motors.throttle_pass_through method of AP_Motors class.
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

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
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

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
