ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code:
...
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)
Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.

MAVLink: port the new adaptive flow control to ArduCopter
...
This allows for arbitrary stream rates, and supports flow control if
you are using a 3DR radio

MAVLink: allow for find grained stream rate control
...
streams can now be requested at any multiple of 20ms. So if you ask
for a stream at 7Hz then you will get it at close to 7Hz.

ArduCopter - CH6 tuning - changed Roll/Pitch Rate D tuning to use the user supplied tuning range instead of the range / 100.
...
also changed heli_ext_gyro_gain to make it use the tuning range directly.

MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information
...
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.
This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

FastSerial: added set_blocking_writes() interface
...
this allows us to put a serial port into non-blocking mode, so that
writes that don't fit in the transmit buffer are dropped. This will be
used in flight to prevent stray printf() calls from causing large time
delays in the code

MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes
...
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient
As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile

AP_Declination: save some more memory by putting the declination keys in progmem

there was a comment saying this was too slow, but it actually costs
about 30 usec extra, which is trivial given the full auto declination
call costs 680 usec and its only called once per boot

ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM. By default the declination will only be set by the automatic declination routine if the user has not saved a declination to the EEPROM.

AP_Declination: Found 7 of the 22 failure points and fixed them. The issue with those 7 was the way I originally packed the value array. The last delta values on some rows were getting truncated. The new number of failures is down to 15 - WIP.

AP_Declination: The exception signs unpacking logic was incorrect. I was shifting a 1 value left y%8 which would have needed a the signs to be packed right to left. My packed signs byte was packed left to right (left most being the 0 position) so I needed to reverse the shifting.
2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
f66c6e16e4
AP_Declination: In order for the bitwise & operation to work, negative signs need to be represented by 1s instead of 0s. Changed so that negative signs are represented by a 1 in the packed signs array. Updated lookup logic to reflect this change.

AHRS: fixed error_yaw reporting with 2 MAVLink connections
...
when a user first connects with USB, and later switches to the
telemetry port without restarting we were getting zero for error_yaw
in the logs, as AHRS.get_error_yaw() was being called twice.
This ensures we give the last value after the counter is reset
