c6f1d93849 ArduCopter: updated standard loiter pids. 
Loiter_P (speed from distance to target) = 0.2 (was 0.35)
Loiter_Rate_P (lean angle from desired acceleration) = 2.4 (was 2.5)
Loiter_Rate_I = unchanged at 0.08
Loiter_Rate_D = 0.40 (was 0.45)

a9610a0761 Stabilization patches 
removed Angle error limit for stabilization
constricted Iterm to +- 5° error and limited the implementation to when the quad is +- 5° from center
doubled the output limit for Rate controller.
increased default Rate_P gain to .18 with matching Rate_D of .004
Tested in the SIM and in backyard. dramatically increases performance and quad no longer overshoots and flips when pushed hard.

72d76558a7 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled. 
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

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.

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

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

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

9bff4e2c4c ACM: only call the fast loop if the imu has new data 
this prevents us spinning waiting for the sensors to gather some data

367947fd33 HWSTATUS: if we don't know the voltage, report it as zero 
this will tell us if board_voltage() is really working

64cc04ae09 ACM: adjust yaw drift correction constants 
this should give the compass a bit more authority

c8e9d57567 temp remove filter for quad motors during testing. It's unlikely this filter did anything at all to be honest. 2012-03-06 22:23:06 -08:00

730476fdfd ACM - 
Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- 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
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250
