Jason Short e31a1d969f Inertial Nav disabled by default 2012-06-13 22:37:52 -07:00
Jason Short c42f9ece43 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

rmackay9 65050775e1 ArduCopter: made Robert's new yaw method optional (off by default).

rmackay9 72d76558a7 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.
2012-06-03 23:48:45 +09:00

2012-06-03 16:58:19 +09:00
rmackay9 2a216ce900 ArduCopter: fixed print_latlon bug in which it would print negative lat/lon numbers incorrectly (i.e. -1234567890 would be printed as -124.xxx). 2012-06-02 12:51:12 +09:00
Jason Short c2d14a5cad RC_Channel fix for throttle output.
throttle was outputting incorrectly and allowing the user to max out the throttle leaving nothing for attitude control

Jason Short 15774366ba Failsafe: Looking for takeoff_complete now vs unreliable GPS 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 08bf04dd08 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 09f4a16bfb changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

Jason Short 5754f97433 reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -07:00
Jason Short 7df1aa2914 Arducopter.pde : setting rtl_approach_alt above 1 would force auto landing even if auto-landing was disabled. 2012-05-23 22:00:56 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell d9457ecc38 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair
2012-05-23 17:33:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 66544a5db2 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs
