thanks Justin!
 2012-03-13 13:27:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9a6adb9990 DCM: adjust yaw kp constant down to 0.4 
this makes the time constant for compass errors closely match the
timing of the older releases - about 10 seconds for a 1 radian change
in heading
 2012-03-12 17:49:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell aa408655f8 Compass: fixed the order of rotations in the compass driver

 2012-03-11 20:59:47 +11:00
Adam M Rivera c390db5d92 AP_Declination: Added method set_initial_location 
This will set the declination based on lat/lon if the user has
not yet saved one to the EEPROM, OR if they have specified via the
config parameter that they want it to overwrite the declination every
3D fix.

Andrew Tridgell a20f57c59e Compass: don't save the orientation to EEPROM 
there is no point in saving this, the value is only configurable at
compile time for now, and is always set
 2012-03-11 15:37:07 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell cc1961b1e8 Math: any euler angle with pitch > 90 is invalid 
both DCM and quaternion always return pitch in the range -90 to 90
 2012-03-11 15:37:07 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 85c3c1d2ea Math: added vector3.rotate() and matrix3.rotation() methods 
these operate on a "enum Rotation" which defines a set of standard
rotations. These are much faster than our previous method, plus use
less memory
 2012-03-11 15:37:07 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a30b03cd0a SITL: lower the noise and drift levels for general autotest usage 2012-03-10 10:34:34 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell fd74414884 Quaternion: go back to the full update_MARG() 
the separate drift controller is too erratic on yaw hold to be usable
at the moment
 2012-03-10 10:34:34 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1002bbcbfe SITL: cleanup the gyro drift calculations 
use units that are more easily understood

to run at a different rate to the accel correction
 2012-03-10 10:34:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f4b1dae7cf IMU: added get_gyro_drift_rate() interface 
this just calls down to the InertialSensor layer
 2012-03-10 10:34:33 +11:00

gyro being used
 2012-03-10 10:34:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9e07fa3af6 DCM: removed the limit on linear acceleration 
we get linear accelerations of more than 1g when turning corners

Andrew Tridgell 2b6fae6e16 ADC: removed the ADC level accel smoothing 
the quaternion code does a better job of handling this noise than this
filter does
 2012-03-10 10:34:32 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 404a4e4896 ADC: use floats for ADC averaging 
this costs almost nothing and improved accel/gyro calibration
 2012-03-10 10:34:32 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4c6afa36cb DCM: removed update_DCM_fast 
this combines the functionality of the 'fast' DCM with the normal one,
and also speeds up both the yaw drift correction and the matrix update
code
 2012-03-10 10:34:31 +11:00

 2012-03-10 10:34:31 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d3dc5bd751 AP_Math: better way of handling safe_sqrt() 
better to test the result, than predict it
 2012-03-10 10:34:31 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b273df0725 SITL: avoid parent pid code on cygwin 
this causes problems on windows

Andrew Tridgell f2e6714598 AP_Math: added quaternion helper functions and a test suite 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f71311fdc0 Quaternion: fix the gyro bias in centripetal and remove smoothing 
the centripetal code needs to take account of the current gyro
bias.

It turned out that the accel and gyro smoothing was causing
significant control lag, and we're better off just letting the
quaternion code handle it via its own smoothing parameters
 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 76736792f8 SITL: disable interrupts during register updates 
this may prevent bogus mode channel reads
 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e445a455d0 Quaternion: use GPS to correct for linear acceleration 
this gives much better pitch estimates. We should do this with the
airspeed sensor if available.
 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1ea1b500a6 Quaternion: don't update if we have a very long deltat

Andrew Tridgell fb23c617fa Quaternion: added an AP_Quaternion library 
this is for experimenting with the Madgwick quaternion system, to see
if it is more or less noise sensitive than DCM
 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a05eeab55e SITL: reduce the simulated compass offsets 
this was causing us problems in getting DCM right
 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00

 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 61ebcfe9fe DCM: fixed the averaging of accel values for update_DCM_fast()

 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell de32c3bc31 AP_Math: added a .zero() method to Vector3f 2012-03-10 10:34:28 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 79b8ddc236 DCM: added a small amount of accel smoothing to update_DCM_fast() 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 55413bfcc1 DCM: don't use the z accel sensor for drift correction 
the z accel is the noisest, and seems to do more harm than good. Using
just x and y is sufficient for drift correction by assuming the vector
length
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a78b00513b DCM: added a small amount of gyro and accel smoothing 
possibly not needed, but convenient to be able to test with different
values
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 82032b17a9 DCM: added reporting interfaces for DCM state 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00

this can be a local error variable in common with the yaw code. This
saves 12 bytes in the object.

Jason Short 13e9608fb8 Consolidated Barometer pressure sensing to a single filter based on Randy's new filter class. 2012-03-08 23:13:04 -08:00
Jason Short 34cf1e8fb3 Updated on Barometer - increased the Temp filtering and decreased the pressure filtering to and get less temp noise, faster response from pressure. I'm filtering the Climb rate differently now, so this higher pressure noise should not hurt the derivative calcs at all now. 2012-03-06 20:55:35 -08:00
rmackay9 6c1299fe7e AP_RC - removed unused library 2012-03-04 18:21:52 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell f1a389fe19 AP_Param: ensure we can't have duplicate keys in Parameters.h 
this is O(n^2), but only at startup, and takes less than 1ms to run.
It catches a very nasty coding error
 2012-03-02 15:48:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1476f044e6 I2C: added lockup_count() interface

Pat Hickey 42078f2794 AP_Param: Make nested group recursion disableable by macro 
* Eliminates recursive calls inside AP_Param.
  This is important to Pat @ Galois, but not the project in general.
  Recursion depth on these functions is bounded structurally using
  existing nested group constructors (can't create loops in finite space)
  and checked at init time
 2012-02-28 16:28:27 -08:00

Andrew Tridgell 701da6c30f AP_Param: fixed v.load() on a sub-element of a AP_Vector3f 
this isn't actually used at the moment in APM, but we should get it
right in case someone does try to load a single element of a vector
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell ac44b73951 AP_Param: fixed setting of CAM_P_G in ArduCopter 
the variable CAM_P_G has the same prefix as the CAM_P group. We want
to allow for parameters having a common prefix with a group, so we
need to keep searching after we've found a group that matches the
prefix

Andrew Tridgell bd2776aedd Compass: use constructor to set initial values for _learn and _use_for_yaw 
this ensures they are set if you have MAG_ENABLE==0
 2012-02-25 17:36:31 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 56bb74ef36 DCM: disable compass null offsets when setting initial yaw 
we need to ensure the compass null offsets code doesn't see a sudden
yaw change, or it will change the offsets by a large amount very
suddenly
 2012-02-25 16:02:24 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f50f4357ca Compass: catch the case of a user enabling a compass mid-flight 
if a compass has not been initialised at startup we can't enable it
mid-flight, as we don't have the orientation
 2012-02-25 14:51:09 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3abe035557 DCM: use the new use_for_yaw() compass method 2012-02-25 14:51:09 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c3319afadd Compass: added COMPASS_LEARN and COMPASS_USE parameters 
these allow you to control if the compass should be used for yaw and
if it should learn its offsets. This is useful for locking in compass
offsets once they are confirmed to be good, and for learning offsets
without using them in flights.

The default is to behave the same as previously, which is
COMPASS_LEARN=1 and COMPASS_USE=1
 2012-02-25 14:51:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 051bd78b37 AP_Param: added some comments on AP_Vector3f handling 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3cf0eebac8 DCM: don't reset _have_initial_yaw for GPS heading unless very slow 
wait till we reach 1m/s before we reset _have_initial_yaw. This
prevents us continually resetting the DCM matrix if our ground speed
is close to 3m/s.
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 007a6b8958 AP_Param: added special handling for Vector3f 
We would like to be able to use Vector3f as a parameter while exposing
the individual elements of the vector as MAVLink parameters. This
change to AP_Param makes that possible, by giving AP_Vector3f a dual
personality
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1d95137b71 SITL: added -C option to desktop mode 
this allows running APM to stdout, which is useful for test sketches
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f221bd13ab libs: removed unused library GPS_IMU 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell c63ca9c697 DCM: tidy up use of error_course and in_motion 
in_motion is not a good name now it is also used for the compass

The error_course and heading component values don't need to be part of
the DCM object, they can be on the stack to reduce the memory usage a bit
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d5b619218c DCM: use rotation_matrix_from_euler() to calculate initial yaw 
When we first get a compass reading or we first start motion we need
to setup the DCM matrix with the right yaw. This uses
rotation_matrix_from_euler() to get a DCM matrix corresponding to our
current roll/pitch, but with the correct yaw
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 48cad8bc25 DCM: use rotation_matrix_from_euler() in matrix reset 
this makes the code a bit easier to read
 2012-02-24 11:54:11 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5009679617 DCM: use calculate_euler_angles() to get eulers from DCM 
this makes the code a bit easier to understand
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell df6013616e AP_Math: added rotmat <-> euler functions 
these will make the dcm matrix manipulation easier to understand
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 50f85835bd Compass: ensure we don't produce NAN values for compass heading 
this leaves the previous heading values alone if we are at a pitch of
exactly 90 or -90, at which point we can't compute a meaningful
heading
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8190204287 AP_Math: added safe_sqrt() function 
this function will never return NAN. It will return zero for negative
numbers.
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0acea11152 DCM: tidy up the nan checking in DCM 
use is_nan() on the matrix rather than just on c.x, and add
safe_asin() to the (unused) OUTPUTMODE==2 code.
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b4c8d6491a DCM: added matrix recovery on reset 
when we get a bad DCM error we can recover a matrix corresponding to
the current attitude, making it more likely that the aircraft will be
able to recover
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 1a32ececb4 AP_Math: added a safe_asin() function 
this adds range checking to asin()
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7dd909a16b AP_Math: added is_nan() methods to vector3f and matrix3f 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Jason Short 2a4b7facaa added set integrator 2012-02-23 09:38:08 -08:00
Andrew Tridgell 8707965c15 DCM: changed the sense of floating point range comparison 
This allows us to detect NaN, otherwise NaN values were considered 
'in range'
 2012-02-23 11:41:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9caa4aeb44 DCM: range check the matrix before calculating pitch 
The asin() in the pitch calculation can only take values between -1
and 1. This change ensures that the value is in range, and if it isn't
then we force a normalization. If that fails we reset the matrix
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 13693e1a04 DCM: reset more values on renorm blowup 
when DCM blows up, we need to reset a lot more variables to ensure
that any NaN values don't persist
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5cfe1ad5dc DCM: remove the taylor expansion optimisation for renormalisation 
The sqrt() costs about 44usec on a 2560, which is small enough for us
not to worry about the speed.

This also changes the range of values where we declare a blowup to
much less likely, which means we can cope with larger delta_t glitches
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f30c721886 AP_Param: added ParamToken type for variable list traversal 2012-02-19 17:05:28 +11:00
Jason Short 669e8e34ea added a limit to range output 2012-02-18 21:08:17 -08:00
Randy Mackay 0b369cf78b Optflow - added reference to FastSerial to resolve compile error on Arduino 1.0. 
also removed reference to DCM (no longer required) and removed some old code.
 2012-02-18 18:09:40 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 2472f0a2f3 SITL: increase the amount of noise in the simulated ADC 
this increases the noise to 2 bits, which actually can have the effect
of improving accuracy, as it leads to better averaging
 2012-02-18 19:27:15 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9602b1f91b DCM: only add in centripetal accel if we have GPS lock 
if we don't have a GPS or the GPS doesn't have a good lock then we
can't rely on the ground speed for adjusting the acceleration vector
 2012-02-18 19:27:15 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 371a91cfcf IMU: move _sensor_cal to general IMU class 
this makes it available both in shim and INS subclasses
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2b8f0c3a48 AP_Param: moved AP_Vector3f and AP_Matrix3f declarations to AP_Math.h

Andrew Tridgell 70a135c47c AP_Param: fixed copy-assignment operators for AP_Param vectors 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e656928c01 AP_Param: added a set_and_save_ifchanged() method 
this can be used to avoid the scan() in more frequenctly saved
variables, such as the MAVLink stream rates in APM
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6f080742b8 AP_Param: added an initialised() method 
this will be used by the compass code
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
justinbeech 5255512bf9 Found free extra 256 bytes of RAM eliminate _clz use from libgcc 
Believe it or not, changing / 2^31 to >>31 saved 256 bytes in the "d" segment.

The reason is that GCC version prior to 4.3.5 does not have a count_leading_zeros (clz) assembler macro, so it uses a 256 byte lookup table called _clz
The _clz table gets pulled in if you do 64 bit division.
This tiny change is the only place that we do long long division.
Changing to a shift saves 256 bytes of ram.
 2012-02-17 09:46:05 +00:00
Jason Short 560985b509 made I term return in same pattern as D term 2012-02-16 22:09:22 -08:00
Andrew Tridgell 3fbb5a2d6c ADC: on channel overflow we should not zero last_ch6_micros 
this happens every 64 seconds because of unused channels on the
ADC. Zeroing this creates a bad delta_t value for the DCM code.
 2012-02-16 17:48:36 +11:00

if we get a FPE then log a message and exit
 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c39914e734 DCM: added a SITL_debug() for DCM normalisation errors 
I have seen normalisation errors during simulation runs, but have not
yet tracked down the cause. This log message may help track things
down.
 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7355f5613c added SITL_debug() macro 
this can be used to print a message into the logs in the SITL
simulator. This will be used for critical conditions.
 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 6c20ff9492 AP_Param: allow dumping of AP_Vector3f 
this means the 'show' command in the CLI shows the compass offsets now
 2012-02-14 08:34:50 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4ec3857476 GPS: change back to 4Hz for MTK GPS 
this will hopefully fix the NO_GPS problems that have been regularly

Andrew Tridgell 16a5b5c3ee added AP_Param::show_all() 
this moves the logic into common code
 2012-02-13 16:22:52 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ee2cb32a44 change back to 256 max variables in _var_info[] 
this keeps the header to 24 bits, and allows the token to be 16
bits. If we need more variables we can put them in a nested group.
 2012-02-13 16:22:52 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6cf7015859 added indexes to group info structures 2012-02-13 16:22:52 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7621b96a52 AP_Param: added group idx, and change packing of header elements 
adding a idx element to the GroupInfo will make it less likely that a
developer will change the IDs of group elements, and make it easier to
see that these IDs are important for identifying a variable in EEPROM

The header packing has changed to make it 24 bits on all platforms,
which allows us to lower the EEPROM variable max size to 1024 bytes
again
 2012-02-13 16:22:52 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 711cee9dfa fixed support for AP_PARAM_SPARE

Doug Weibel e109992c12 Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets 
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI.  Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer.  If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values.  I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

Andrew Tridgell 817e7442bd baro: fixed an integer overflow issue at high altitudes 
the averaging array was using 16 bit numbers, but we are storing
numbers with 19 significant bits. That caused overflow at high
altitude, and some very interesting altitude graphs!

Andrew Tridgell f4490b62c7 DCM: prevent a segmentation fault when compass is not enabled 
when compass is disabled _compass is NULL
 2012-01-13 15:48:07 +11:00
Doug Weibel 622217357c Bug fix for compass. 
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start.  This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets.  Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug?  The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix.  This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge. 

If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all.  Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large.  Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.

To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm.  Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples.  The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.
