Andrew Tridgell f6688582a6 Plane: added FENCE_ACTION=3 behaviour
this makes it safer to enable the geofence as a receiver failsafe
mode. It retains manual throttle control, so if it triggers on the
ground due to the receiver losing signal from the transmitter then the
throttle can be kept low, preventing an unexpected takeoff.

Andrew Tridgell d9bcfd913a Plane: reset attitude integrators on mode change 2013-06-01 22:29:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell eba7d6da9a Plane: removed the old crash_timer code
This code is less relevent with the new L1 navigation, and could cause
issues with the pilot not having control after a long dive.

Thanks to Soren for pointing out the issues

See issue #305

Andrew Tridgell fdd509a7c1 Plane: move baro init earlier in startup
this ensures it is initialised when CLI takeover by MP happens

Thanks to Prof Avi Levi for reporting this bug
2013-05-06 10:57:57 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4e2b88f6e6 Plane: added ATT_CONTROLLER option to select attitude controller
set to 1 for the new APM_Control library
2013-05-05 21:51:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5ba171af9a Plane: fixed mavlink levelling
this was broken by a recent commit (after 2.72 was released)

Andrew Tridgell de3fcbc413 Plane: removed the MANUAL_LEVEL option
levelling on every startup is far too error prone. This was just
another parameter that everyone changed.

minor code size savings

Andrew Tridgell 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight
is also _much_ better with sensors HIL.

Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Andrew Tridgell dfb14d760b Plane: added HIL_SERVOS option
this allows for real servo output in HIL

Andrew Tridgell 7db7d7db77 Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter

This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change

Andrew Tridgell 87c6545ac6 Plane: don't trigger GCS failsafe if GCS never connected
The we have never received a heartbeat message from the GCS then don't
use the lack of heartbeat to trigger a failsafe event

failsafe phase
