Holger Steinhaus abad58874c AP_GPS: enable GNSS modules handled by PX4 firmware via GPS_TYPE 
GNSS modules handled by PX4 drivers are not auto-detectable, some are not even
connected to a UART port. The activation is therefore controlled by GPS_TYPE
only. Baud rate and port settings (if applicable) have to be handled by the PX4
firmware.

Jonathan Challinger cc955b738b AP_NavEKF: Clean up flight detector logic 2014-11-14 10:34:49 +11:00
priseborough 5359da9c68 AP_NavEKF : Improved Magnetometer Error Handling 
(Plane Only) If the yaw and GPS heading disagree by more than 45 degrees on takeoff, then the magnetometer is declared as failed. The heading is then reset based on the difference between GPS ground track and stgate velocity vector.
Magnetometer fusion uses corrected data and bias states are initialised to zero. This allows the compass to be switched in flight.
For persistent compass errors that trigger a timeout, the compass is not permanently failed, however for non-forward fly vehicles the compass weighting is reduced.

John Williams ae87399919 HAL_Linux: Basic Zynq Linux platform support 
Preliminary support for Zynq/Linux on the 'ZyboPilot' HW platform.

see https://github.com/trjw/ZyboPilot-bsp for the PetaLinux / Vivado project
files.

At this stage CPPM/Pulse in and PWM out work, and in CLI mode the passthru
test works correctly.

The platform has passed minimal smoke testing in HIL mode.

ZYNQ IS NOT FLIGHT TESTED YET!  FLY THIS PLATFORM AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Andrew Tridgell d404cc6542 AP_Baro: add set_external_temperature() 
this allows the use of an external temperature sensor for calibration

The get_calibration_temperature() is used to choose either an external
temperature or an internal one. If an internal one is used then it is
clamped at no higher than 25 degrees C, to prevent hot electronics
on startup affecting altitude scaling and EAS2TAS

priseborough d6508acfa5 AP_TECS : Prevent throttle undershoot after climb 
If the plane was unable to achieve the climb and got significantly below the internal TECS demanded climb profile, the the PD term would be a large value at the top of climb, and would take some time to reduce due to the rate limiter. This meant that the integrator state could be pushed to a very low value and effectively cause the throttle to sit on the lower limit for longer than desired after levelling out.

Andrew Tridgell 4ad643b233 AP_AHRS: use a common function for updating the CD values 
this ensures the wrapping of yaw is consistent between the 3 use cases
 2014-10-15 13:18:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell eec5cd5add AP_AHRS: restore DCM attitude before update() 
The DCM drift correction code uses the current attitude to calculate
error values to update its gyro drift correction. If we were using EKF
then without this patch the DCM code running as an alternative AHRS
source would be using the EKF attitude for calculating the error
value, leading to very bad gyro drift estimation
 2014-10-15 11:15:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 63c06ea2af AP_AHRS: fixed calls to DCM in parent class 
use_compass() and reset() are common to AP_AHRS_DCM and
AP_AHRS_NavEKF. As AP_AHRS_NavEKF is a child of AP_AHRS_DCM, when we
call use_compass() from within AP_AHRS_DCM we actually end up calling
AP_AHRS_NavEKF::use_compass().

This has the effect of disabling the compass in DCM when EKF is active
and EKF has decided not to use the compass. That means that the DCM
yaw (and in fact the whole attitude) can get badly off while EKF is
enabled, making DCM an ineffective fallback if EKF fails.

The fix is to call the specific class versions of use_compass() and
reset()

Randy Mackay 85fb4b122a MotorsMatrix: _min_throttle interpreted as 0 ~ 1000 range for throttle_lower flag 
Also trigger throttle_upper flag when throttle in reaches 1000
 2014-10-04 23:49:14 +09:00
Randy Mackay 91e5201439 Tri: _min_throttle interpreted as 0~1000 range for throttle_lower flag 
limit.throttle_lower flag becomes true when the throttle passed into the
motors lib (which is in the 0 ~ 1000 range) is below _min throttle.
This makes the interpretation of the THR_MIN parameter consistent
between the main code (which uses 0 ~ 1000 range) and the motors lib
(which previously used the RC3_MIN ~ RC3_MAX range).
The remaining problem however is that the output of the motors continues
to use THR_MIN as if it were a pwm.  I don't believe this is a dangerous
problem however.

priseborough 8aa267f75f AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of GPS glitch offset 
The GPS glitch offset was being zeroed during position resets. This caused the filter to reject subsequent GPS measurements if the GPS error persisted long enough to invoke a timeout and a position reset.

priseborough b61a6c64d7 AP_NavEKF : Reduce weighting on GPS when not enough satellites 
GPS measurement variance is doubled if only 5 satellites, and quadrupled if 4 or less.
The GPS glitch rejection thresholds remain the same
This will reduce the impact of GPS glitches on attitude.

priseborough f99f5759f5 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in GPS innovation variance growth calculation 
The uncertainty in acceleration is currently only scaled using horizontal accelerations, however during vertical plane aerobatics and high g pullups, misalignment in angles can cause significant horizontal acceleration error.
The scaling now uses the 3D acceleration vector length to better work during vertical plane high g maneouvres.
This error was found during flight testing with 8g pullups

priseborough f0ee11e951 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position, height and velocity states 
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS or baro, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS or baro measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected. This is particularly a problem if IMU saturation or timeout has occurred because the previous states could be out by a large amount
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s.
