RALLY_FETCH_POINT.

defines.h modified to make room in EEPROM to store rally points.

rally.pde added and is responsible for ensuring rally points get
stored in the correct spot in EEPROM.

Multiple Rally/RTL point support now done.  If rally points have
been defined, then when RTL mode is entered, the closest Rally
point is chosend and the plane loiters at that point.

Note only 10 rally points can be defined; this is to save space in
the APM's EEPROM.

Kevin Hester 996eda0080 Plane: Report MAV_STATE_ACTIVE if flying, MAV_STATE_STANDBY otherwise 
(There are also various error states MAV_STATE_CRITICAL that are unchanged
by this check in).

The is_flying() check is similar to the code in suppress_throttle, but
I wanted to make it very optimistic on thinking we are flying - which is
not what you want for set_throttle...

(AC has similar MAV_STATE_ACTIVE vs MAV_STATE_STANDBY behavior now)

Andrew Tridgell 43ffe91546 Plane: added FS_ACTION of 2 for glide 
this allows people without specified settings in their receiver for
failsafe to choose FBWA zero throttle glide on throttle failsafe. That
can be a better choice when flying at a R/C club field
 2013-09-15 15:05:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd6a69f588 Plane: added WP_MAX_RADIUS parameter 
useful when using AUTO_FBW_STEER for manual steering in competitions
 2013-09-13 17:43:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cc6acac1dd Plane: added AUTO_FBW_STEER option 
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics
competition where students need to pilot the plane, but they still
need waypoint triggering of payloads
 2013-09-13 14:38:09 +10:00

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.

 2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE 
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight

 2013-04-12 17:44:40 +10:00
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 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.

Andrew Tridgell f077f54e6a Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option 
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.

in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!
 2012-09-11 16:39:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e672628ea APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag 
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
 2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c9a299665c APM: added speed scaling to wheeled steering

Andrew Tridgell feb3fe77ce APM: simplify radio_trim code 
this removes the duplicate code. Throttle trim is not changed.
 2012-09-09 19:39:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5c3595e0dc APM: fixed throttle nudging 
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

Andrew Tridgell 68705fe7e6 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane 
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

 2012-08-28 20:09:10 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell e2b8817a89 APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach 
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.
 2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fce01464b1 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter 
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell d13d117e61 APM: removed reset_I() and instead auto-reset integrator in PID library 
this prevents us resetting key integrators on waypoint change, while
still preventing old integrators being used when a PID starts to be
used again
 2012-08-28 20:18:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dcbd0fbd44 APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress 
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

element
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f1d5645b APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS 
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bdc7d41be INS: disable INS AP_Param table when not on APM1 hardware

Andrew Tridgell 0ffc89d512 APM: support the MISSION_WRITE_PARTIAL_LIST command 
this allows missions to be partially updated in flight
 2012-08-09 17:13:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dc47074dbd MAVLink: removed the need for Mavlink_compat.h 
we have now fully transitioned to MAVLink 1.0, so we no longer need
the compatibility layer and the old names in the code
 2012-08-09 12:22:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a7b298bbc MAVLink: moved mavlink variables back to library 
these were moved to the main sketches to allow for compile time
selection of MAVLink 0.9 vs 1.0. We no longer support 0.9, so we can
move it back, which simplifies some test sketches
 2012-08-09 12:06:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5498d347f3 APM: Added RST_MISSION_CH option 
this allows a pilot to reset the mission using a transmitter
switch. Very useful for repeating a mission during testing
 2012-08-09 10:33:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e2c8ec2c9e APM: removed THROTTLE_REVERSE option 
Better to use RC3_REV
 2012-08-09 10:04:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e133900c68 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option 
this replaces the compile time option. Disabling during long distance
flights when the transmitter may be out of range is useful.

Amilcar Lucas 82b82283be ATmega1280 does not have enough memory for mount support so disable AUTO GPS support, to allow mount support to fit. 
This should almost have no side effects, because the most users use MTK anyways.
If the user defined a GPS protocol, than we will NOT overwrite it
 2012-08-04 16:32:20 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell 301ab00c5b APM: added control switch debouncer 
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

calculation

Jonathan Challinger d9d055ef78 APM: Removed incorrect nav_gain_scaler from nav_roll calculation. 
nav_gain_scaler was originally added due to a perceived improvement in
loiter performance, but is incorrect for navigation. Turn rate is a
function of airspeed and bank angle, ground speed has no effect on
that.

Pat Hickey 1c00d1ffe3 ArduPlane: Fix effect of ELEVON_REVERSE 
* Previously, the ELEVON_REVERSE parameter was equivelant in function to the
  ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE parameter. These parameter values are found in
  g.reverse_elevons and g.reverse_ch1_elevon, and used to map to the radio_out
  channels in ArduPlane/Attitude.pde
* It seems the author's intent was for ELEVON_REVERSE to change the sign for
  the combination of pitch & roll into ch1 & ch2, as there are already
  parameters which change just the sign of ch1 and just the sign of ch2.
* Discovered this bug because I happened to build an elevon airframe which was
  not possible to setup with the existing ELEVON_ and RCn_REV parameters.
* This will break existing elevon setups if the user used ELEVON_REVERSE
  instead of ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE, since they were previously interchangable.

aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair

Andrew Tridgell b3aa704c49 AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE 
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 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

send it if that information changes.

This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes 
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems

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

Andrew Tridgell 0248b48d30 allow MAG_ENABLE to be changed in flight 
this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
flight. Without this we would use a fixed yaw once the compass is
disabled

This also makes sure we don't pass the compass to DCM till we have
done a read. This ensures we have a good compass fix for the initial
DCM heading

Andrew Tridgell c14097ffa1 APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor 
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.

This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.
 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c662140a2b APM: report the nav_bearing as hold_course when enabled 
this gives a more accurate view of the navigation code, as when

 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 330ff5dc8b APM: added some comments related to hold_course 
hold_course is either -1 (for disabled) or a course to hold for
takeoff/landing. This makes the code a bit clearer.

It also resets hold_course in all non-auto modes, to ensure it isn't
used
 2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 11835508a7 when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM 
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.

This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.

This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'

Doug Weibel ed9f7cb1b6 Update battery monitoring code for ArduCopter 
Fixes compatibility for APM2.  Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code:  We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos.  These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere).  Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs.  The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.

Doug Weibel e22a83eec0 Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets 
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI.  Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer.  If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values.  I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

Doug Weibel 9846822748 Bug fix for compass. 
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start.  This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets.  Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug?  The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix.  This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge. 

If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all.  Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large.  Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.

To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm.  Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples.  The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.
