rmackay9 3618ac62e0 ArduCopter: made Robert's new yaw method optional (off by default).
Add this line to APM_Config.h to enable Robert's yaw
#define ALTERNATIVE_YAW_MODE ENABLED

Jason Short ee78818f5a Raised the Max throttle to 1000, min to 200. Worked good in SIM with Tridge's motor safety patch. 2012-06-12 13:58:49 -07:00
rmackay9 1b9ed1444e ArduCopter: updated standard loiter pids.
Loiter_P (speed from distance to target) = 0.2 (was 0.35)
Loiter_Rate_P (lean angle from desired acceleration) = 2.4 (was 2.5)
Loiter_Rate_I = unchanged at 0.08
Loiter_Rate_D = 0.40 (was 0.45)

Jason Short 71111a5816 Stabilization patches
removed Angle error limit for stabilization
constricted Iterm to +- 5° error and limited the implementation to when the quad is +- 5° from center
doubled the output limit for Rate controller.
increased default Rate_P gain to .18 with matching Rate_D of .004
Tested in the SIM and in backyard. dramatically increases performance and quad no longer overshoots and flips when pushed hard.

Robert Lefebvre a9349a6e87 More CopterLEDS changes.
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2.  Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2.  Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code.  Legacy users should see no difference.

Andrew Tridgell 58f539ca35 ACM: removed FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE

2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 0727955fe3 ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM. By default the declination will only be set by the automatic declination routine if the user has not saved a declination to the EEPROM. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00

Jason Short 43b3e1ccd1 ACM -
Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- remove filtering for Nav_throttle
- added a way to lower the gain on nav_throttle for descents by / climb_rate error by 2 - seems to work OK and keeps copter from dropping like a rock when the Baro drifts quickly lower.
- removed old throttle hold set point code
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250
