rmackay9 6ca8fda76d ArduCopter.pde: added call to set_manual_rc_channel to allow pilot's channel 6 to control pitch. 
This initialisation code should be moved to init_ardupilot and/or into the AP_Mount library.
 2012-07-18 23:49:09 +09:00

 2012-07-15 16:36:05 +09:00
rmackay9 46a44a6b1b ArduCopter: added definition for yaw channels. 
APM1 uses channel 11 for camera's yaw servo, APM2 uses channel 8.  This should allow all frame types except octacopters to potentially use a 3 axis camera mount.

Jason Short 6dc1e02f76 Inertial Control 
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.
 2012-06-13 22:34:45 -07:00
rmackay9 3618ac62e0 ArduCopter: made Robert's new yaw method optional (off by default).
