2013-05-25 19:15:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c81421e275 Plane: added MIXING_GAIN parameter
this allows for the full range of output on both channels, but can
saturate

Andrew Tridgell 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
Paul Riseborough 663951d9a7 Plane: rename APM_Control parameters
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

Andrew Tridgell 71f6287388 Plane: fixed spelling 2013-04-06 17:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 993154ea59 Plane: expand the VTAIL_OUTPUT docs for APM1 2013-04-05 16:38:46 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 406921faf1 Plane: added VTAIL_OUTPUT option
this allows for software vtail mixing
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.

Andrew Tridgell 624ebced38 Plane: document INVERTEDFLT_CH 2013-04-01 22:17:04 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell dfb14d760b Plane: added HIL_SERVOS option
this allows for real servo output in HIL
2013-03-30 14:38:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 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

Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell 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
Michael Warren 9697ff5d6d Plane: Added extra parameter to specify at what speed in auto-takeoff throttle should engage
This adds TKOFF_THR_MINSPD in m/s
2013-03-09 14:19:48 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e0e22b63a7 Plane: removed INPUT_VOLTS parameter
no longer needed
2013-03-08 10:01:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5f4c5f8201 Plane: update SERIAL0_BAUD parameter description 2013-02-22 08:39:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 86f667f6cc Plane: added new SERIAL0_BAUD parameter
this is useful on PX4

Andrew Tridgell b6295c12e1 Plane: fixes for new AP_Relay interface 2013-01-02 10:18:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 85e4f67e68 Plane: added a note about the dangers of the FS_GCS_ENABL option 2012-12-25 21:18:39 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell feca411943 Plane: added new TRAINING mode
this mode gives manual control when the roll or pitch is within the
set limits (the same limits as FBW mode), and prevents the pilot from
flying beyond those limits, essentially a "attitude limited manual"
mode

Andrew Tridgell 24e1af1c82 Plane: fixed sensors and attitude HIL
we now use the Stub version of the InertialSensor driver. In sensors
HIL we can now correctly drive the AHRS code.

Andrew Tridgell 845dd88091 Plane: make THR_SLEWRATE docs clearer 2012-11-28 11:41:39 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 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.

Andrew Tridgell 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
Andrew Tridgell cebb67e1df APM: removed the unused sonar code
when we start supporting a sonar we'll add a AP_Sonar library, like
AP_Airspeed
