Andrew Tridgell d8a7618e15 Plane: update use of AC_Loiter controller for quadplane 
this changes the way the loiter controller is initialised for QLOITER,
after discussions with Leonard.

The way we were doing it could cause a sudden acceleration demand when
switching into QLOITER.

This also changes the default loiter parameters to reduce the maximum
acceleration that will be applied in QLOITER. Many thanks to Leonard for
the advice

Andrew Tridgell d07f8aa42b Plane: fixed a bug in transition to QSTABILIZE for tailsitters

throttle for 2s in transition from FBWA to QSTABILIZE

use twice transition time for pitch envelope to reduce QLOITER
transition harshness
 2017-11-05 21:35:32 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9c8cd6c1cc Plane: added Q_TRANS_DECEL

for transitions to QLOITER

new FW to VTOL transition state
 2017-10-30 16:30:38 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell af893ddde7 Plane: implement Q_OPTIONS 
this allows for NAV_TAKEOFF to be treated as NAV_VTOL_TAKEOFF in
quadplanes, and for level flight to be maintained during quadplane
transitions

needed for qgc to setup for quadplanes
 2017-10-20 15:41:06 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0aed5a9a57 Plane: prevent controller windup on ground 
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes

Andrew Tridgell 35c1a732a6 Plane: allow takeoff in guided then fw loiter 
this allows for quadplane takeoff in GUIDED with Q_GUIDED_MODE=0. The
takeoff will be VTOL, but subsequent guided points will be fixed wing
 2017-09-18 10:21:53 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell b1f1ace736 Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors 
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
 2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00

adds Q_TAILSIT_VHGAIN and Q_TAILSIT_VFGAIN, allowing for thust
vectoring in both fixed wing and hover
 2017-04-11 17:34:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 664e41cec6 Plane: bring in demanded climb rate over 1 second

this will allow for more quadplane motors class types
 2017-03-25 16:22:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell af97a3974b Plane: initialise target height correctly on quadplane transition 
this fixes a bug where a plane in QSTABILIZE would drop suddenly if
switched to FBWA when the target altitude had not been initialised
 2017-03-22 21:34:40 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell bb158a437e Plane: handle bad Q_FRAME_CLASS 
default to quad with a warning. This prevents users getting stuck
without being able to set Q_ENABLE=1

thanks to Leonard for noticing
 2017-03-18 22:10:20 +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 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
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

skyscraper 7f29903287 ArduPlane: Fix up after refactoring RC_Channel class 
Further to refactor of RC_Channel class which included
adding get_xx set_xx methods, change reads and writes to the public members
to calls to  get and set functionsss

old public member(int16_t)   get function -> int16_t     set function (int16_t)
(expression where c is an object of type RC_Channel)
c.radio_in                     c.get_radio_in()           c.set_radio_in(v)
c.control_in                   c.get_control_in()         c.set_control_in(v)
c.servo_out                    c.get_servo_out()          c.set_servo_out(v)
c.pwm_out                      c.get_pwm_out()            // use existing
c.radio_out                    c.get_radio_out()          c.set_radio_out(v)
c.radio_max                    c.get_radio_max()          c.set_radio_max(v)
c.radio_min                    c.get_radio_min()          c.set_radio_min(v)
c.radio_trim                   c.get_radio_trim()         c.set_radio_trim(v);

c.min_max_configured() // return true if min and max are configured

Because data members of RC_Channels are now private and so cannot be written directly
 some overloads are provided in the Plane classes to provide the old functionality

new overload Plane::stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel)
which forwards to the previously existing
void stick_mix_channel(RC_Channel *channel, int16_t &servo_out);

new overload Plane::channel_output_mixer(Rc_Channel* , RC_Channel*)const
which forwards to
(uint8_t mixing_type, int16_t & chan1, int16_t & chan2)const;

Rename functions

 RC_Channel_aux::set_radio_trim(Aux_servo_function_t function)
    to RC_Channel_aux::set_trim_to_radio_in_for(Aux_servo_function_t function)

 RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)
    to RC_Channel_aux::set_servo_out_for(Aux_servo_function_t function, int16_t value)

 Rationale:

        RC_Channel is a complicated class, which combines
        several functionalities dealing with stick inputs
        in pwm and logical units, logical and actual actuator
        outputs, unit conversion etc, etc
        The intent of this PR is to clarify existing use of
        the class. At the basic level it should now be possible
        to grep all places where private variable is set by
        searching for the set_xx function.

        (The wider purpose is to provide a more generic and
        logically simpler method of output mixing. This is a small step)
