rmackay9 4bca609b9f AP_InertialSensor_MPU6000: replaced _cs_pin parameter with #define and saved 1 byte of memory
Updated ArduCopter, ArduPlane and example sketches in AP_InertialSensor, AP_IMU and AP_AHRS libraries because they no longer need to pass in cs_pin to the constructor

AP_Airspeed

Andrew Tridgell 7a49515ee3 APM: fixed roll in landing approach 2012-09-12 11:53:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 77926a6965 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

Andrew Tridgell 0a9070e4fe APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d08bd4214b APM: added support for MAV_CMD_PREFLIGHT_REBOOT_SHUTDOWN
this allows for remote reboot of APM
2012-09-10 11:42:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 966c1988c3 APM: preparing for 2.61 release 2012-09-08 18:36:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4219cb55ce APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places
this applies the wind constraint
2012-09-08 11:37:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b2a74951d1 APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling
2012-09-08 10:07:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a71cee4579 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

Andrew Tridgell 0be8349678 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX
2012-08-30 20:15:42 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7ab7770c3d APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

Andrew Tridgell 3f54b83238 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell ac2ad44c3c APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

Andrew Tridgell 517e6b2b9d APM: prepare for ArduPlane 2.60 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d091311196 APM: removed factor of 0.5 in non-airspeed takeoff pitch
this limited the pitch far below the specified target pitch
2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 56ada1a69c APM: added RSSI to RC_CHANNELS_RAW as well
and prevent double read
2012-08-22 13:58:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e74dab122a APM: added RECEIVER_RSSI_PIN option
this allows for the receiver RSSI to be sent over MAVLink

Thanks to Burt Green for the suggestion

Andrew Tridgell 5d29d5e5a1 APM: removed DMP support from ArduPlane
Without centripetal correction the DMP code will almost certainly
crash a plane
2012-08-22 11:46:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell bd6581c523 AHRS: removed Quaternion build support from APM/ACM/rover 2012-08-22 10:42:21 +10:00
rmackay9 e5d8efdb7e ArduPlane: replaced many "int" with "int16_t", "long" with "int32_t" 2012-08-18 18:26:13 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 2fb8a13ac6 APM: added parameter FBWB_ELEV_REV
this fixes issue 343
2012-08-17 15:04:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20be77ab32 APM: when land_complete is true, use land_pitch
this gives a flare on final landing
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f4023d1b44 AP_Airspeed: remove airspeed filter and run at 10Hz
this saves on the filter memory, and gives just as good a result
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8c3b6f471f APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message
this will be used for failsafe processing
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f45f232f APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 98d5a49717 APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9d9c7b0455 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available
2012-08-11 12:01:08 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas 9a8fd4738e Add an optional second mount to ArduPlane and ArduCopter 2012-08-08 23:22:24 +02:00
