Andrew Tridgell 57ac39649a TimerProcess: added suspend_timer()/resume_timer()
this will be used to avoid races in driver initialisation

rmackay9 3b2d203f0f AP_AHRS: updated default AHRS_YAW_P to 0.2 (was 0.4)
This reduces the compass's default authority over the yaw direction by half

Andrew Tridgell 8f2cecae4d MAVLink: re-generated with new pygen
this moves the enums to make them less order sensitive

Andrew Tridgell 3177f57d48 build: cope with Arduino 1.0 in command line build
this should autodetect 1.0 versus older builds

Andrew Tridgell 532ac607b2 sitl: support MAVLink 1.0 builds 2012-04-24 22:24:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fef4134702 MAVLink: removed the cpp part of the library
this was preventing building MAVLink 1.0 with the arduino GUI as we
can't set cpp defines
2012-04-24 22:24:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9bf8d60dae MAVLink: one more define for MAVLink 1.0 compat 2012-04-24 19:54:20 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fd9d2f856e MAVLink: re-add the XML message definitions
these are a very useful reference for the current headers in the code
2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a54cd57568 MAVLink: imported new mavlink header updates
this fixes the camera control code which was broken by a previous
import

Andrew Tridgell bff8fc8947 APM_RC: added OutputCh_current() method
this allows logging of the actual servo output values. The radio_out
method previously used doesn't take account of the various override
mechanisms available via waypoints

Andrew Tridgell 6d837891b0 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.

Andrew Tridgell 398a608b83 DCM: drop the 'drop z' method
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

  http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:Comment:834373

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.

rmackay9 c62ce95768 AP_Motors - allow tail servo to be reversed. Closes ArduCopter issue #228 2012-04-21 23:07:57 +09:00
rmackay9 346ca5c865 DataFlash_APM2 - moved CS_inactive call (which disables the dataflash) from the beginning to the end of all methods. This means the dataflash does not monopolize the SPI bus.
Also formatting changes to use tab instead of space. Sorry, should have done this as a separate check-in to the above changes.

rmackay9 577f18a09c AP_OpticalFlow - updated test sketch to allow testing of APM2 version 2012-04-21 20:11:18 +09:00
rmackay9 e9fd7c955d AP_OpticalFlow - added support for optical flow for APM2 2012-04-21 20:10:35 +09:00
rmackay9 026cd4e64f AP_OpticalFlow - moved most pin definitions into .cpp file 2012-04-21 20:09:15 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell a9de75156b AHRS: added AHRS_YAW_P parameter
this allows users to change the yaw gain in DCM
2012-04-16 20:55:13 +10:00
analoguedevices ce5d71c08c added missing #include 2012-04-09 14:32:54 +00:00
rmackay9 4dac4c4c11 AP_AHRS - changed parameter order to remove compiler warning 2012-04-09 17:37:11 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell 7921d33c40 MAVLink: imported new mavlink headers
this adds local and remote radio noise levels
2012-04-08 12:22:17 +10:00
rmackay9 1b4ac37e66 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed stability patch issue in which it would not limit a motor's output unless an opposite motor had been defined. This would only have affected Y6 frames. 2012-04-07 12:16:12 +09:00
rmackay9 e63e858b64 AP_MotorsOcta - V Frame - test order fix spotted by David Wiens 2012-04-07 08:11:28 +09:00
rmackay9 d0cbd577cd AP_Motors - fixed last "shadowing" compiler warning caused by badly named parameter in auto_armed method. 2012-04-05 00:28:04 +09:00
rmackay9 c27b83c8a8 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed another compiler error regarding shadowing a variable. Fixed by removing those the angle and direction arrays which weren't even used 2012-04-05 00:24:56 +09:00
rmackay9 e9f0103063 AP_MotorsHeli - fixed compiler warning re move_swash function declared with int parameters in .h file but actually using int16_t in .cpp file. They're the same in arduino but perhaps the build checker is a little more strict that Arduino. 2012-04-05 00:06:33 +09:00
rmackay9 40e5a15452 AP_Motors - fix compiler warning re shadowing a variable caused by badly named parameter in armed function.
Another compiler warning fixed in AP_MotorsMatrix.cpp caused by declaring "i" twice.
2012-04-04 23:59:51 +09:00
rmackay9 71ad185238 ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code:
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
     2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
     3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)

Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.

Andrew Tridgell 5ce5f3d176 MAVLink: import change to txbuf as a percentage 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8a215c8b55 MAVLink: imported new headers, with RADIO packet 2012-04-01 21:44:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 08b66e18b7 FastSerial: added set_blocking_writes() interface
this allows us to put a serial port into non-blocking mode, so that
writes that don't fit in the transmit buffer are dropped. This will be
used in flight to prevent stray printf() calls from causing large time
delays in the code

Andrew Tridgell c2ff66c9cd examples: fixed build of some examples with new AP_Declination code 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 825340d53d Compass: added COMPASS_AUTODEC option
when this is 1 (which is the default), we will get the declination
automatically via the AP_Declination library

when it is 0 we will use the value configured by the user
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e4e052ff91 AP_Declination: save some more memory by putting the declination keys in progmem
there was a comment saying this was too slow, but it actually costs
about 30 usec extra, which is trivial given the full auto declination
call costs 680 usec and its only called once per boot
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell edb627a5c1 AP_Declination: added timing information to declination test 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 01c4cde14f AP_Declination: fixed build under SITL 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 9c414e9573 AP_Declination_test: Updated test with better print messages. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera cff189e911 AP_Declination: Update LUT based on the changes that I made in the LUT generation code. This LUT is the final version that has no truncation. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 380b9ece44 AP_Declination: Updated comments to reflect new LUT size. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00
