Andrew Tridgell c8b6be6736 AP_Motors: fixed scaling of servo outputs
thanks to bnsgeyer for noicing this in issue #6977

this will break existing dual-heli setups, but there are so few people
flying them so far that I think it is a worthwhile change

Andrew Tridgell bdc4320fe8 AP_Motors: added MOT_BOOST_SCALE

generated from the booster and how much from the main multicopter
motors

Jacob Walser 507b461388 AP_Motors: Initialize throttle range directly
This was causing SITL to hang at boot when motors object is statically allocated.
2017-02-28 22:34:35 -08:00
Lucas De Marchi ade1876318 AP_Motors: tie esc scaling with set_throttle_range()
We need to update the esc scaling from inside the Motors library, that
has access to the MOT_PWM_[MIN|MAX] values. Otherwise even though the
AP_Motors library honors the value for calculations, the RCOutput
drivers that need the scaling to set the real HW scaling will not work.
Right now it scales the value using the throttle_channel's min/max, even
though AP_Motors may be passing values in other range.

Lucas De Marchi ae53920e5b build: don't build examples with old build system
We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file.  Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.

Andrew Tridgell 66c4995c9d AP_Motors: added get_desired_spool_state() 2016-08-04 09:43:40 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 11975223dd AP_Motors: added H_RSC_POWER_NEGC and H_RSC_SLEWRATE
this gives more control over throttle for petrol
helis. H_RSC_POWER_NEGC allows for a asymmetric V-curve, which allows
for less power being put into the head when landing or when sitting on
the ground. That can lead to significantly less vibration and chance
of ground oscillation. A heli not being flown with aerobatics does not
need to use high throttle at negative collective pitch.

The H_RSC_SLEWRATE allows for a maximum throttle slew rate to be
set. Some petrol motors can cut if the throttle is moved too
quickly. We had this happen at a height of 6m when switching from
ALT_HOLD to STABILIZE mode. It also lowers the chance of the blades
skewing in their holders with the sudden change of power when the heli
is disarmed. In general it is a bad idea to do instantaneous large
movements of a IC engine throttle.
