Andrew Tridgell ec70042d25 APM_Control: raise default IMAX to 3000
on the first flight users often need more I gain to overcome poor
choices for the P gain
2015-02-19 16:15:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3b6c732b3b APM_Control: changed default I gain for roll/pitch controllers to non-zero
too many people are still not tuning. At least this will give them a
chance to get their aircraft back in a cross-wind
2014-11-13 22:13:25 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8f3dad0d1c APM_Control: increase available range for roll and pitch 2014-08-16 18:07:22 +10:00

2014-04-21 07:13:06 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b4c5f31b17 APM_Control: reduce the number of parameter saves in autotune
don't save a parameter unless it has changed by 0.1%

Andrew Tridgell 50fc75917e APM_Control: first version of APM_Control autotuning
this adds autotune to the roll/pitch controllers using a very simple
mechanism. The plan is that this provides a framework which Paul and
Jon will build upon.

Don Gagne 1db3c6e688 AP_Arming: param doc fixes
These were confusing the parser, or just incorrect
2014-01-10 10:40:53 +09:00
Don Gagne e68cf2d1c5 Plane: Fix parameter documentation
Fixes some problems with incorrect docs which would in turn generate
bad amp.pdef.xml files for ground stations.
