2013-05-25 19:15:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c81421e275 Plane: added MIXING_GAIN parameter

this groups the parameters more logically
2013-05-05 21:51:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0d97f417ec Plane: enable compass on all boards by default
if not present, then mag init will fail and it will disable
2013-05-02 15:01:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell de3fcbc413 Plane: removed the MANUAL_LEVEL option
levelling on every startup is far too error prone. This was just
another parameter that everyone changed.
2013-04-29 14:19:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3d7a4d0e6e Plane: added ELEVON_OUTPUT option
this is like the vtail mixer, but for elevons
2013-04-29 12:13:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0b8c2da4df Plane: support 12 output channels on PX4 2013-04-25 20:10:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 994d8e354a Plane: allow for negative WP_LOITER_RAD for conter-clockwise loiter
this follows the same convention as missions
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 78538d0543 Plane: removed old HDNG2RLL PID control
not used with L1
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
priseborough 70a186464b Plane: added LEVEL_ROLL_LIMIT parameter
this replaces both TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD and RUDDER_STEER, allowing users to
instead select a roll limit for takeoff and landing
2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

2013-04-05 15:22:11 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2506c216dd Plane: added a second type of stick mixing
this changes STICK_MIXING from a boolean to a tri-state. With
STICK_MIXING=1 it now uses FBW style mixing. With STICK_MIXING=2 it
uses the old style of direct stick mixing.
