Dr.-Ing. Amilcar Do Carmo Lucas f366095113 Copter: Use SI units conventions in parameter units
Follow the rules from:
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/units.html
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/outside.html
and
http://physics.nist.gov/cuu/Units/checklist.html
one further constrain is that only printable (7bit) ASCII characters are allowed

Randy Mackay 0e7f12049c Copter: fix esc calibration is safety switch has been disabled 2017-05-11 11:30:05 +09:00
Randy Mackay f9c8bb1b01 Copter: ensure esc calibration only occurs on next reboot
It was possible for a board with no safety switch attached to get stuck waiting for the user to press the non-existance switch.  Rebooting now resolves the problem because the ESC_CAL parameter is reset to zero regardless of whether the calibration completes or not.

2017-04-28 09:10:02 +09:00
Randy Mackay 65e97a9503 Copter: rtl initialises wp controller earlier
We need to initialise wp controller or the build_path could use the wrong speeds and accelerations when calculating the origin (aka stopping point)

Randy Mackay a342b73604 Copter: guided velocity contoller inits accel and jerk
In practice this has no functional impact because the guided_pos_control_start initialises these values (using AC_WPNav) and it is not currently possible for a user to get to the velocity controller without having first used the guided position controller

Andrew Tridgell 7efca1881c Copter: fixed a problem with initial parameter fetch
if the GCS connects before the motors have been allocated then it will
get an incorrect parameter count from the MAVLink param protocol. We
need to prevent the PARAM_REQUEST_LIST message from being replied to
until motors are allocated which is done as part of init_ardupilot
2017-02-15 17:16:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6b6d03eb8d Copter: fixed upgrade of parameters
now that we dynamically allocate many key objects in copter we need to

Randy Mackay 6726d94537 Copter: update notify during ESC calibration
The notify devices including the RGB were not being updated meaning the main LED was normally frozen or off during calibration.  The desired behaviour is that it flashes red, blue, yellow.
2017-01-27 12:14:56 +09:00
Randy Mackay a25f51c893 Copter: delay up to 2sec for first radio pulse
Pixracer boards can take 1 second (or possibly longer) to start reading RC input.  This ensure we see the user's high throttle to indicate the user wants to perform the ESC calibration

Peter Barker ac980fdd47 Copter: use compass_checks from AP_Arming
User-visible changes:
 - checks will fail if calibration is in progress
 - PX4FMU_V1 will now have COMPASS_OFFSETS_MAX of 600, not 500
 - if the primary compass is not set to be used then compass checks will always pass
2017-01-17 11:45:08 +09:00
Peter Barker f3a31b988a Copter: use ins_checks from AP_Arming
Functionality changes:
 - gyros and accels only have to be consistent in last 10 seconds to pass
 - ins.use_accel() is honoured when checking for consistency
 - ins.use_gyro() is honoured when checking for consistency
 - threshold is trippled rather than doubled for accel cal checks
