Andrew Tridgell ea1a4bc176 Plane: improve px4_mixer handling of servo trim/min/max 2017-08-01 08:25:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cff692ca48 Plane: implement MANUAL_RCMASK 
this replaces the functionality of the old "with input"
aileron/elevator functions, but in a much more flexible way. It means
that people who want to fly in MANAUL mode will have the ability to
have full control of trims and mixing using transmitter mixers if they
need that functionality
 2017-08-01 08:25:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fedd2c558c Plane: added AETR log message 
this makes debugging mixers much easier
 2017-08-01 08:25:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5d91e29cea Plane: fixed px4_mixer for new function based mixing 
this fixes the OVERRIDE_CHAN functionality to work correctly with the
new function based mixing code

It isn't a perfect match for ArduPilot mixing, but it is very close
for the key control surfaces, including mixed surfaces
 2017-08-01 08:25:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0266168e69 Plane: removed old elevon and vtail mixers 
now only use the function based mixing, and auto-convert on startup
 2017-08-01 08:25:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 178e7eca54 Plane: always setup target airspeed 
this sets up a target airspeed even when flying without an airspeed
sensor. This is needed for quadplanes without airspeed sensors where
we use synthetic airspeed during the transition in TECS
 2017-07-31 09:55:44 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 909f109b3f Plane: don't start a transition while disarmed 
this can caused flooding of the GCS console while disarmed in FBWA
mode

Patrick José Pereira 60834e9af0 Plane: Allow a second activation of parachute 
The hardware can fail in the first activation,
this patch allow a second chance to active the parachute successfully.

Andrew Tridgell 2cb511c049 Plane: deprecate old aileron_with_input and elevator_with_input 
these have very rarely been used and don't work well with new trimming
mechanisms. Now treat them as ordinary ailerons/elevators
 2017-07-03 11:17:42 +10:00

Michael du Breuil 92cdb54176 Plane: Fix a fly away when aborting a landing 
DO_LAND_START -> LAND waypoints in sequence would cause a perpetual abort state
due to the sticky nature of the abort states. If we restart a landing on
purpose while doing an abort, then we can move onto trying to land again.

Dr.-Ing. Amilcar Do Carmo Lucas 14b214eb9b Plane: remove FS parameters default values macros. 
They just add an un-necessary level of indirection in the code. The parameters are run-time configurable now.
 2017-06-07 17:46:39 +10:00
Michael du Breuil 87c076da4d ArduPlane: Fix missing break in GCS_MAVLink

Andrew Tridgell 92f88e9b33 Plane: fixed climb rate for quadplanes in CRUISE 
the high loop rate of quadplanes led to less than 1cm/loop change in
height, which got truncated to zero. Adjusting height at 10Hz fixes
that.

Thanks to Marco for reporting this!
 2017-05-10 08:03:23 +10:00

André Kjellstrup 21b8d3cb3d Plane: Removed scary autotakeoff message. 
This message does not provide anything useful, but is rather scary to
get moments before launch.
If it's somehow meant to provide useful information, or an action "Timer
interrupted AUTO" should be replaced by something else.
 2017-05-04 22:37:32 -07:00

tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
 2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fedabd1ace Plane: added logging of quadplane desired yaw 
makes analysis of takeoffs easier
 2017-04-24 16:52:16 +10:00

this follows the implementation from copter. Thanks to Leonard for the
suggestion
 2017-04-24 16:52:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 516bf26719 Plane: fixed QRTL change when coming from loiter 
the nav controller can think we have already reached the loiter target
if we were last in a LOITER when we switch to RTL. In that case it
would switch to QRTL immediately

found by Leonard (thanks!)

Andrew Tridgell 8e3f8f47c8 Plane: tilt motors fast in final stages of quadplane transition 
when transition of tilt quadplane has reached the stage where the tilted
motors are used solely for fwd thrust and rear motors are off we should
move the tilt to full forward rapidly
 2017-04-19 09:08:14 +10:00
Tom Pittenger 5b47927937 Plane: pre-launch flaps incorrectly always disabled 
Pre-launch flaps are always disabled by checking current state against zero (which it always will be) instead of the param which is what it was supposed to be checking.

default to quad with a warning. This prevents users getting stuck
without being able to set Q_ENABLE=1

thanks to Leonard for noticing

Andrew Tridgell e3a8d477f5 Plane: improve tiltrotor transition strategy 
avoid running forward motors at high throttle when transitioning to a
VTOL mode
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3f7e7d456f Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller 
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2db8589f49 Plane: smarter Z controller initialisation for quadplanes 
this is more generic than the previous one used only for the full
position controller
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell dd4f56dd98 Plane: added PIQ messages for quadplane PIDs 
keep them separate from fixed wing PIDs, so we can watch the
interaction between the PIDs in transitions

Randy Mackay c0f155fd27 Plane: use only downward facing rangefinder 2017-02-27 15:18:25 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 4ff5bf5af5 Plane: zero integrators and set throttle mix 
this zeros fixed wing integrators during TRANSITION_AIRSPEED_WAIT and
uses a zero throttle mix during TRANSITION_TIMER. This should allow
the fixed wing controller more time to adapt to forward flight
 2017-02-26 09:20:51 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c061d5615b Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang 
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.

It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bb25eb194 Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT 
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ea5186340b Plane: added Q_TILT_RATE_UP and Q_TILT_RATE_DN as separate parameters 
allow control of tilt rate separately for UP and DOWN

always allow at least 90 degrees/second for switching to MANUAL
 2017-02-25 17:53:26 +11:00
Tom Pittenger 4ccd59f394 Plane: allow exiting loiter_to_alt in cases where you get stuck 
- check for scenarios where updrafts can keep you from loitering down indefinitely.

Andrew Tridgell 07ab04897d Plane: reset roll/pitch integrators while tailsitter active 
this prevents integrator buildup while flying in hover
 2017-02-18 22:23:58 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b3380ecfa7 Plane: support twin-engine planes 
with differential thrust for yaw
 2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e8b11924f8 Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code 
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover

Michael du Breuil 29b16dbafd Plane: Refactor to request relative altitudes from AHRS 
Removes the need for plane to do the math for finding the relative height.

Also caches the value at the same time we update current_loc, which is a
non behaviour change as that was the only time you could see a change in
the relative height propegate through the system anyways
 2017-02-13 09:23:14 +11:00

transition
 2017-01-25 19:01:15 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0d4405106f Plane: removed forcing of trim for motors in quadplane
