rmackay9 bb05dab924 AP_Mount: addition of Amilcar's mount_type
set_roi_cmd modified to take a Location.  I know the intention was for set_roi_cmd to interpret the MAVLink command directly but unfortunately in arduCopter missions are only made up of waypoints (which are Locations).

Jonathan Challinger 9cd98e79dd AHRS: normalise GA_b before computing error vector only if too large
When GA_b is small the direction of the vector is unreliable, so
normalising can exacerbate the error in the direction

Andrew Tridgell 5f5ab9c07c AHRS: if we don't have gps correction enabled, zero the yaw correction 2012-07-20 17:21:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c937738732 AHRS: allow the gps/accelerometers to control yaw when rolled
this solves a problem with yaw estimation when at high roll angles,
when the compass code becomes ineffective

Amilcar Lucas 3de23220ed RC_Channel parameters: Fix a typo 2012-07-18 22:39:49 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 22d2f9ea15 Support up to 7 aux servo outputs 2012-07-18 21:58:22 +02:00
rmackay9 e61cf0e1f9 AP_Mount: added set_manual_rc_channel and set_manual_rc_channel_function to allow input of pitch, roll and yaw controls from a regular RC_Channel (i.e. not RC_Channel_aux)
For now, angles red in are always of the range -45 deg ~ 45 deg which is consistent with the existing arducopter implementation but should be improved to scale the pilot's input to the mount's actual range.

Michael Oborne 9e4d118fdb Airspeed Library - fix param names.
The Group definition give the start of the param name.
This way we can maintain multiple instances if required of the same library as options.
2012-07-16 21:48:47 +08:00
Andrew Tridgell feb456de56 Airspeed: Added AP_Airspeed sensor library

rmackay9 acef75319c AP_MotorsMatrix: small bug fix to limit checking on remove_motor call. Fix thanks to Michael Peschel! 2012-07-16 00:38:58 +09:00
rmackay9 669ffb5ef8 RC_Channel_aux: added enable_out method to help stop servos from moving before the mount has initialised.
changed parameter names of "update_aux_servo_function" to make it more clear that any 4 servos can be passed in (not just servos 5~8).
Also allowed NULL servos to be passed in as parameters because we only need 3 in ArduCopter.
2012-07-15 16:28:53 +09:00
rmackay9 5616b1769b AP_Camera: changed "int" to "int16_t" and "long" to "int32_t" here and there. 2012-07-15 16:26:12 +09:00

Robert Lefebvre ed235a3924 Change to prevent Tricopter servos from going hard-over during Disarmed state.
Believe this was an oversight when the change to AP_Motors went in.
2012-07-13 23:12:26 -04:00
Robert Lefebvre 8ce9aae2f7 Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input".
Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying.  This could probably become a parameter.

Andrew Tridgell e1725e9ea5 AP_Param: added some docs on the eeprom header format 2012-07-10 14:03:49 +10:00
Craig Elder 6d3fdfc03a DataFlash: The current method for checking if chip erase worked is producing false positives. We are forcing the block erase until we have a deterministic test method. 2012-07-09 15:23:35 -07:00

Andrew Tridgell f6d7d1bc59 APM: changed PID library to do automatic deltat calculation
this fixes a problem with the HDNG2RLL PID, which was using the wrong
time base and prevents similar bugs from happening in the future
2012-07-06 19:59:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f501503eb0 AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging
this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 520d762382 Filter: split the DerivativeFilter steps into update() and slope()
this allows us to apply new data at a different rate than we calculate
the slope.
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3c7e521f70 AP_Baro: update MS5611 test to use baro library altitude 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 302696951a AHRS: make the yaw independent drift correction optional and disable
the new correction algorithm copes poorly with gyro drift, leading to
signification attitude errors in the face of drift
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8c5ef3e60f AHRS: only enable barometer for AHRS if it is smooth enough
if we used less than 5 samples to compute the pressure then don't use
it for climb rate

Andrew Tridgell 75470dc912 Filter: cope with non-uniform time steps in the DerivativeFilter
this helps with the barometer a lot, as the timing is quite variable
2012-07-05 13:00:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f03ba86d9d SITL: add some minimal noise when motors are off

Andrew Tridgell 2cd6da2539 AHRS: only use GPS for yaw when compass is not being used
this avoids having two competing controllers

Andrew Tridgell adfa97b6f8 AHRS: enable barometer for vertical velocity
this re-enables the barometer for vertical velocity information
for drift correction, now that we have a better filter
on the climb rate

Andrew Tridgell c35a2e999b SITL: added SIM_GPS_DELAY parameter
this allows a delay to be added to the gps data to test the impact on
AHRS/DCM
2012-07-04 21:05:22 +10:00
rmackay9 faeda3713e AP_AHRS: removed DCM_test example sketch
No longer required because it doesn't compile and is redundant anyway because the AP_AHRS_DCM class is tested in the AHRS_Test example sketch.
2012-07-04 18:22:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 3849ca8b5c AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on
accurate yaw. This means we should get accurate roll/pitch correction
even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)

Andrew Tridgell dd24330645 DataFlash: fallback to BlockErase if ChipErase fails
The errata on the APM2 dataflash chip says that ChipErase may not work
on some chips
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd200cba31 Math: added location functions to math library
these do common calculations on struct Location
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1314e4f872 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable
this is to make it easier for Craig and Alan to tune
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 060cbe2030 AP_Mount: removed unused enum 2012-07-03 10:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 99b11e4f19 Mount: enable mount control via eeprom parameters
this enables MNT_* parameter control of the camera mount code. It also
fixes the conversion of calculated angles between degrees and
integers, and fixes stabilised mount control when yaw control is not
available.
2012-07-03 10:21:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 057eb5e6f6 Baro: average over all pressure/temperature samples on MS5611
this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings

This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer
2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f70cd71791 Baro: fixed build of MS5611 test code 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 769011e947 AnalogSource: added some example code 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fdcc3e8f0 SITL: added support for new analog source
removed analogRead() to prevent people using it
2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c8befe4536 AnalogSource: make the Arduino AnalogSource interrupt driven
this fixes several problems with reading analog sources:

 - we were getting poor values because we didn't wait long enough for
   an analog source to settle

 - we wasted a lot of CPU cycles waiting for conversions

 - we were not taking averages over many samples, which we did with
   the old AP_ADC driver on the APM1
2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 136c03c3c0 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro()
this makes it more useful for navigation controllers

Andrew Tridgell ed691fc465 SITL: added SITL class for controlling simulation
this holds mavlink settable parameters for controlling sensor noise
levels
2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 16c55c64d4 AHRS: don't add the P terms in _omega
this can lead feedback via the _P_gain()
2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37fc6c46b9 AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.

It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.
2012-06-28 11:12:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 58c4d458dc AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.
2012-06-28 11:09:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fd241692d0 AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm
we need to work out why Craigs quad flipped today before we enable
this new drift correction
2012-06-27 18:16:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a6543f1e84 SITL: removed an unused variable 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bccfbd94c Barometer: fixed airstart for APM
we need to re-load the ground pressure and temperature from eeprom on

2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e044a560b AHRS: include P term in omega
thanks to Jon for suggesting this
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37e2f2ee2c AHRS: implement spin rate limits
this follows the method that Bill developed in his fastRotations
paper. We've demonstrated that this is indeed needed in APM, as we
were able to produce the 'dizzy' effects in both the ArduPlane and
ArduCopter simulator
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e4a245179c AHRS: cope with copters with no compass
if a copter doesn't have a compass, we can't use the GPS for gyro
drift correction
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f4faf941e2 GPS: test the more modern MTK16 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 27761737ce SITL: fixed GPS heading in simulated UBlox
longitude scale does not apply to velocity->heading conversions
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b811653800 SITL: changes UBlox simulation to 5Hz
this matches the real UBlox driver
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e4d28b12e5 Compass: remove the need to call calculate() on the compass object
the new AHRS code doesn't use calculate() and the compass.heading
attribute. Instead it works on the raw magnetometer vector. This
change removes the internal calculate state from the compass object
and instead adds calculate_heading() for use by older code that
doesn't go via AHRS.

This significantly reduces the calculation involved in compass updates

The null offsets enable/disable code is also removed, as it is not
needed now that compass offsets are not linked to the AHRS state.
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3a41ad8e7c AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.

The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c387edd74c Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 06c8763881 Filter: added 5 point average float filter 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger d230690b7b AHRS: brought DCM more inline with Bill's implementation
omega_I applied continuously. _ki larger. Stop integrating when _omega.length()>20

The key change was the scaling of ge to ensure the error is not
quadratic
2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d4c8041c51 AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system
This makes 3 major changes:

 1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
 constant

 2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings

 3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
 to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses

Andrew Tridgell 70f18289c5 GPS: fixed auto-config of UBlox setup with no UBX messages
if a UBlox is configured for NMEA only, with no UBX messages at all
then it would never trigger the GPS_AUTO detection. This adds a UBX
config message to the init strings that enables the NAV_SOL message

Andrew Tridgell a8bfc5d8e9 GPS: re-open the serial port with a 256 byte serial receive buffer
this ensures all GPS parsers have a 256 byte buffer available
2012-06-08 16:42:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 296e651b30 GPS: fixed the UBLOX parser to handle unknown messages
the parser was broken in several ways:

 1) when it received an unknown message it didn't update the ck_a and ck_b fields, so it
    thought the message had a bad checksum, which meant it got out of protocol sync

 2) the read() method would return false if the last message from the GPS was of an unknown type. 
    So we relied on the last msg always being one that we understand and want

 3) the parser considered any valid UBLOX message to be 'new data', whereas we only actually get 
    a new fix when we get box a new position and velned message

 4) the total message size per update is more than 128 bytes, but the serial port was opened 
    with only a 128 byte buffer, so we got corruption regularly
