Andrew Tridgell 8610d9a8ea Plane: added GLIDE_SLOPE_MIN parameter
this is used to prevent slow glide slopes being used for small

altitude with terrain changes
2014-08-04 21:02:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b64ab07ca4 Plane: added STAB_PITCH_DN_CD parameter
this adds some down trim when at throttle levels below the trim
throttle in FBWA mode.

defaults to 200 centi-degrees. I may adjust based on flight tests

Randy Mackay fdaf3fc177 Plane: add AP_Mission object to parameter list 2014-03-19 12:10:54 +09:00
Randy Mackay a76e2ab02e Plane: reserve NavEKF slot in param list even when not used
Although this wasn't a problem immediatley, if someone had added a
parameter after k_param_NavEKF it's position in eeprom could have moved
as AP_AHRS_NAVEKF_AVAILABLE was enabled/disabled
2014-02-21 13:53:05 +09:00

this generalises the gcs object usage
2013-11-23 19:29:22 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 490a061c6f Plane: added HIL_ERR_LIMIT

2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bf1463e7a Plane: added RALLY_LIMIT_KM
this will prevent an embarressing use of a rally point from the wrong
airfield
2013-10-06 14:51:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d275f50539 Plane: added GROUND_STEER_ALT and GROUND_STEER_DPS
this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 081510d37a Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter
this enables/disables the attitude locking in acro mode, allowing acro
to be a pure rate controller
2013-10-05 07:45:12 +10:00
Michael Day 497c95de8e Plane: Add support for rally points.
Added parameter RALLY_TOTAL.

Added handlers for new MAVLink messages RALLY_POINT and
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.

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 accfd46633 Plane: update for new APM_Control API 2013-08-14 14:57:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 233b033e8c Plane: removed old speed/altitude control algorithms
Use TECS only. This makes the code a lot simpler and easier to
properly document
2013-07-22 13:28:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 74dabad1f3 Plane: added SKIP_GYRO_CAL parameter
useful for starting the sim at high altitudes, and for starting planes
without having to hold them still
2013-07-22 12:50:01 +10:00
