 2013-11-23 19:29:22 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 490a061c6f Plane: added HIL_ERR_LIMIT 
this allows DCM to recover if HIL attitude drifts too far from true attitude
 2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2af69b7131 Plane: make batter failsafe docs clearer 2013-11-09 18:14:02 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 5adf4e1706 Plane: improve THROTTLE_NUDGE docs 2013-10-14 15:40:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bf1463e7a Plane: added RALLY_LIMIT_KM 
this will prevent an embarressing use of a rally point from the wrong
airfield
 2013-10-06 14:51:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d275f50539 Plane: added GROUND_STEER_ALT and GROUND_STEER_DPS 
this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes
 2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 081510d37a Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter 
this enables/disables the attitude locking in acro mode, allowing acro
to be a pure rate controller
 2013-10-05 07:45:12 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 011915eb1c Plane: added error checking to rally load save 
sanity check the rally points
 2013-10-03 12:21:08 +10:00
Michael Day 497c95de8e Plane: Add support for rally points. 
Added parameter RALLY_TOTAL.

Added handlers for new MAVLink messages RALLY_POINT and
RALLY_FETCH_POINT.

defines.h modified to make room in EEPROM to store rally points.

rally.pde added and is responsible for ensuring rally points get
stored in the correct spot in EEPROM.

Multiple Rally/RTL point support now done.  If rally points have
been defined, then when RTL mode is entered, the closest Rally
point is chosend and the plane loiters at that point.

Note only 10 rally points can be defined; this is to save space in
the APM's EEPROM.
 2013-10-03 12:21:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 74c8c8aafa Plane: auto-upgrade battery variables in EEPROM 2013-10-03 11:16:12 +09:00
Randy Mackay c64d444b5a Plane: integrate BattMonitor 2013-10-03 11:16:08 +09:00
Mike McCauley 3ddcdba659 Plane: Parameters BATTERY_MONITORING for Flymaple 2013-09-24 13:51:28 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 328e900364 Plane: changed TKOFF_THR_DELAY default to 2 
this makes it safer for hand launch with pusher props
 2013-09-19 21:42:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 43ffe91546 Plane: added FS_ACTION of 2 for glide 
this allows people without specified settings in their receiver for
failsafe to choose FBWA zero throttle glide on throttle failsafe. That
can be a better choice when flying at a R/C club field
 2013-09-15 15:05:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd6a69f588 Plane: added WP_MAX_RADIUS parameter 
useful when using AUTO_FBW_STEER for manual steering in competitions
 2013-09-13 17:43:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cc6acac1dd Plane: added AUTO_FBW_STEER option 
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics
competition where students need to pilot the plane, but they still
need waypoint triggering of payloads
 2013-09-13 14:38:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8010d7fd78 Plane: update battery pin docs 2013-09-12 13:43:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0c8d56632e Plane: fixed SR0 and SR3 autodocs 2013-09-12 09:53:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f6688582a6 Plane: added FENCE_ACTION=3 behaviour 
this makes it safer to enable the geofence as a receiver failsafe
mode. It retains manual throttle control, so if it triggers on the
ground due to the receiver losing signal from the transmitter then the
throttle can be kept low, preventing an unexpected takeoff.
 2013-09-08 07:31:10 +10:00
Craig3DRobotics 630095adaa Revert "Copter: Corrected SR0 & SR3 parameter descriptions"

not control channel
 2013-07-22 12:50:02 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 74dabad1f3 Plane: added SKIP_GYRO_CAL parameter

without having to hold them still
 2013-07-22 12:50:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9bbe6c1967 Plane: update to new license boilerplate for GPLv3 
we had LGPLv2 in some places, despite the fw being GPLv3
 2013-07-22 12:50:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 53b1b9b575 Plane: added note on type of airspeed in docs 2013-07-22 12:50:01 +10:00

 2013-07-12 11:56:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 11a4628409 Plane: added ACRO mode to mode choices 2013-07-11 09:10:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fc67f51901 Plane: added ACRO_ROLL_RATE and ACRO_PITCH_RATE parameters 
default to 180 degrees/second, which seems reasonable
 2013-07-11 09:10:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2005d5642a Plane: fixed a documentation string

monitoring of task timing (via SCHED_DEBUG)
 2013-06-04 13:34:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 27bc0cdc2c Plane: rename old channel_* globals

 2013-06-03 16:23:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cd55ed45e2 Plane: removed the old roll/pitch/yaw PID controllers 
use the new controllers, with auto parameter conversion
 2013-05-31 14:06:56 +10:00

this ensures compatibility with existing configs
 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
 2013-05-25 18:28:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd633fcf3f Plane: make voltage and battery capacity failsafe settable at runtime 
this also fixes issue #292
 2013-05-22 20:33:57 +10:00
Randy Mackay 4c08e32bf6 Plane: param update for AP_Baro 2013-05-21 14:22:23 +09:00
Randy Mackay 84909ee56a Plane: add parameter description for LOG_BITMASK 2013-05-21 11:22:11 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell e87a6d5564 Plane: added links to new APM controller docs 2013-05-05 21:51:09 +10:00
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

 2013-04-12 12:48:09 +10:00
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.
 2013-04-02 08:52:56 +11:00
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
 2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
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
 2013-01-13 07:39:40 +11:00
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
 2012-12-20 22:41:58 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 678947c65d Plane: more fixes for SITL and new AP_Param startup 2012-12-20 14:52:29 +11:00
Pat Hickey f8dec9ae4a ArduPlane: fixes to use CONFIG_HAL_BOARD instead of CONFIG_APM_HARDWARE 2012-12-20 14:51:37 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 898aa0b260 Plane: fixed spelling error 2012-12-04 11:38:29 +11:00
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.
 2012-12-03 23:26:39 +11:00
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.
 2012-11-26 23:33:05 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 84300c85d6 APM: make it possible to run the CLI on any serial port 2012-11-21 21:41:34 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8f108e2eb3 APM: added AMP_OFFSET option 
thanks to Alexey Kozin!
