...
this structure can be passed to libraries to give them easy access to
critical user parameters
2013-07-04 16:56:57 +10:00
d62636d309
Plane: added new TECS altitude controller

this gives us more accurate task scheduling in ArduPlane, plus better
monitoring of task timing (via SCHED_DEBUG)
2013-06-04 13:34:58 +10:00
27bc0cdc2c
Plane: rename old channel_* globals
...
prevent the old "g." names from being used
2013-06-03 16:37:51 +10:00
fb9bf21522

dd633fcf3f
Plane: make voltage and battery capacity failsafe settable at runtime
...
this also fixes issue #292
2013-05-22 20:33:57 +10:00
4e2b88f6e6
Plane: added ATT_CONTROLLER option to select attitude controller
...
set to 1 for the new APM_Control library
2013-05-05 21:51:09 +10:00
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
3d7a4d0e6e
Plane: added ELEVON_OUTPUT option
...
this is like the vtail mixer, but for elevons
2013-04-29 12:13:59 +10:00
0b8c2da4df
Plane: support 12 output channels on PX4
2013-04-25 20:10:53 +10:00
78538d0543
Plane: removed old HDNG2RLL PID control
...
not used with L1
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
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
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

2013-04-12 12:48:09 +10:00
406921faf1
Plane: added VTAIL_OUTPUT option
...
this allows for software vtail mixing
2013-04-05 15:22:11 +11:00
dfb14d760b
Plane: added HIL_SERVOS option
...
this allows for real servo output in HIL
2013-03-30 14:38:43 +11:00
7db7d7db77
Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
...
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter
This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
f077f54e6a
Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option
...
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.
2013-03-27 10:27:14 +11:00
0a385cc0ff
Plane: added TKOFF_THR_MINACC option
...
this is used for triggering auto takeoff with a hand launched plane
2013-03-09 14:41:04 +11:00
9697ff5d6d
Plane: Added extra parameter to specify at what speed in auto-takeoff throttle should engage

ArduPlane: fixes to use CONFIG_HAL_BOARD instead of CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE
2012-12-20 14:51:37 +11:00
92cd631ce5
Plane: added THR_PASS_STAB parameter
...
this allows direct passthru of throttle in STABILIZE and FBWA, which
is useful for nitro planes wher you have a throttle cut switch that
drops the throttle below normal minimum.
2012-11-26 23:33:05 +11:00

other small changes including renaming of functions and parameters.
2012-11-07 19:21:15 +09:00
8652bfee8d
APM: added RSSI_PIN option for receiver RSSI

2012-10-13 20:51:41 +09:00
6bae5ecd51
APM: added THR_SUPP_MAN option
...
this allows for manual throttle control during auto throttle
suppression. This is useful for keeping a petrol engine idling before
takeoff
2012-09-22 20:17:06 +10:00
cebb67e1df
APM: removed the unused sonar code
...
when we start supporting a sonar we'll add a AP_Sonar library, like
AP_Airspeed
2012-09-19 19:35:22 +10:00
2324997e16
APM: added ALT_OFFSET parameter
...
useful to adjust for barometric pressure changes during a long flight
2012-09-19 16:23:25 +10:00
5c3595e0dc
APM: fixed throttle nudging
...
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.
This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging
2012-09-09 19:39:04 +10:00
164c60d25f
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
96ea350143
APM: added XTRK_MIN_DIST option

APM: added new TELEM_DELAY parameter
...
number of seconds to delay telemetry
2012-08-30 08:59:39 +10:00
fce01464b1
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
2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
c9cf483822
APM: added XTRK_USE_WIND parameter
...
when enabled this will use the wind estimation code to adjust the
navigation bearing, allowing the navigation code to cope with much
higher levels of wind while using a compass
2012-08-25 17:49:26 +10:00
d445482ace

AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE
...
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

Update battery monitoring code for ArduPlane
...
Fixes compatibility for APM2. Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code: We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos. These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere). Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs. The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.

APM: added RST_SWITCH_CH parameter
...
This is useful for switching back to the mode indicated by the control
switch after a failsafe or fence breach. I was just changing modes
each time, but it is far more elegant to have a spring loaded switch
for "I am ready to take control again", rather than continually
changing modes.

Minimum ground speed patch from Claudio Natoli. Thanks Claudio!
