Randy Mackay 4c40b44563 Copter: limit max ahrs trim to 10degrees
Limit is applied as trims from accelerometer calibration are copied to
the ahrs object.

Randy Mackay 5a3c7b2d35 Copter: use scaled throttle for accel-throttle's I term
Accel throttle's I term is taken from scaled manual throttle

Randy Mackay f4e1424bd1 ArduCopter: bug fix to ppm encoder failsafe
A new radio frame could arrive just as the frame time vs current time
check was being executed causing a false positive

Randy Mackay defeb76e47 Copter: update firmware version to 2.9 ahead of release 2013-01-17 12:50:49 +09:00
Randy Mackay 570624f5c8 Copter: RTL bug fix to initial step is always a climb and not a descent
Also bug fix to hold yaw on take-off
2013-01-15 12:13:04 +09:00
Randy Mackay 03733e284c Copter: bug fix to altitude check of verify takeoff
set_next_WP function was not setting the alt_change_flag properly

Randy Mackay c74821078b Copter: update firmware version to rc5 2013-01-14 14:28:18 +09:00
Randy Mackay aa8e5b0aef Copter: constrain auto roll and pitch to 45 degrees 2013-01-14 14:26:26 +09:00
Randy Mackay e362844532 Copter: added CH7 switch to enabling/disable the sonar in flight
This indirectly switches surface tracking on/off which is useful to
avoid tracking the tops of uneven objects when far above the ground

Randy Mackay bd05ea84cc Copter: constrain loiter so that it never commands more than 45 degrees of lean in lat or lon directions 2013-01-14 13:30:25 +09:00
Randy Mackay 0830eaf363 Copter: added experimental LOITER_REPOSITIONING #define to config.h
APM_Config.h should be used to overriding the standard parameters but
they still require a definition in config.h or they will be undefined
when built by the mission planner.
2013-01-14 13:07:52 +09:00
Randy Mackay 381bd28518 Copter: relax altitude check in verify_takeoff
Previously we checked if the alt > target_alt but because there is
little to no overshoot with the new accel based alt controller this
check was failing for some users.

Randy Mackay 36f15c9555 ArduCopter: move setting of land's yaw mode to the do_land function 2013-01-12 14:49:26 +09:00
Randy Mackay 05e59f6f4d ArduCopter: bug fix to LAND flight mode not actually landing if initiated from failsafe
An hidden bit of failsafe functionality in the set_mode function was
switching the throttle mode back to THROTTLE_AUTO instead of
THROTTLE_LAND
2013-01-12 14:48:41 +09:00
Randy Mackay a18892229c ArduCopter: smooth throttle when switching from manual throttle to alt hold
new set_accel_throttle_I_from_pilot_throttle function copies the
difference between the pilot's throttle and hover throttle to the
accelerometer based throttle controller's I term.
2013-01-12 12:20:37 +09:00
Randy Mackay cad9533398 ArduCopter: replace FS_THR_RTL_MIN_DISTANCE with wp_radius
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters.  Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).

Randy Mackay f3550801d1 ArduCopter: disable ITERM logging by default
This message takes 1ms to write and we are running over our limits on
some loops.

Andrew Tridgell 49a5b664cc Copter: move read_AHRS() before run_rate_controllers()
this ensures the rate controllers use the latest data

rmackay9 4d21571d92 ArduCopter: changed alt hold to use the sonar if enabled and healthy 2013-01-10 21:43:13 +09:00
rmackay9 b58a89e71e ArduCopter: added get_throttle_althold_with_slew to allow slower altitude target changes
Improved surface tracking by using slewed althold controller
Reduced sonar mode filter to just 3 elements to reduce lag but at the possible consequence of allowing sonar noise to creep through for people with margin sonar set-ups.

Andrew Tridgell 578b1b68ad Copter: remove GPS_STATUS message
this message is huge and slow, and is pointless as we have
num_satellites in GPS_RAW_INT
2013-01-05 20:54:57 +11:00
rmackay9 152ae7d737 ArduCopter: save 10bytes by replacing multiple static instances of log_counter with a single global variable called pid_log_counter
pid_log_counter is used to limit the rate at which we log PID controller values

Robert Lefebvre cbbba3a359 TradHeli: Fixing bug that causes Alt_Hold mode to use the Stab_Throttle scaling. It should not have this scaling, it should have access to full swashplate range. 2013-01-03 15:19:38 -05:00
rmackay9 6f0868a9f8 ArduCopter: increase throttle rate P to 6.0 (was 1.0) and alt hold P to 2.0 (was 1.0) 2012-12-31 14:42:13 +09:00

rmackay9 bc4cd41a33 ArduCopter: added ERR dataflash message
Failsafe events changed to errors so they are more obvious.
Errors recorded to dataflash for failure to init compass and optical flow sensor.
Errors recorded for pwm failure.
Resolved a compile error when dataflash logging is disabled.
