Paul Riseborough 40cc5a5006 ArduPlane: Improve EKF failsafe in VTOL modes
Replicates Copter behaviour with a three step process if the EKF sustains a loss of navigation as detected by high GPS innovation test ratios:

1) Attempts a yaw reset using the GSF estimate if available
2) Attempts a lane switch
3) Falls back to a non-position mode

useful for quadplane testing
2019-11-17 20:10:54 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e5bad28f1d Plane: added Q_ASSIST_ALT parameter

aircraft that is flying badly in fixed wing mode

Andrew Tridgell 2b6210d594 Plane: use WP height for height above ground in vtol landing
this allows for landings above or below the takeoff height without
requiring the use of terrain data. It allows both the use of vfwd
motor for holding against wind, and the correct height for land final
descent rate

2019-03-05 10:13:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 136e10a781 Plane: handle VTOL landing with incorrect height
if landing above expected height then run landing detector to allow a
switch from LAND_DESCEND to LAND_FINAL

this prevents the plane sitting on the ground until the battery runs
out

engaging the VTOL attitude controller

Randy Mackay a0a9a68fbc Plane: quadplane smoothing gain replaced by Q_A_INPUT_TC
Q_A_INPUT_TC parameter allows this to be tuned and a single value (which defaults to a value between the two previously used values) is used for all modes
2018-03-16 13:50:57 +09:00

for transitions to QLOITER
2017-11-05 20:44:42 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 21164ef409 Plane: added tailsitter surface speed scaling
added scaling of control surfaces by throttle when in hover. This helps
the controller remain stable over a wide range of throttle levels, such
as when descending or rapidly climbing
2017-11-05 17:05:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 552faa8f67 Plane: smoother tailsitter transitions

new FW to VTOL transition state
2017-10-30 16:30:38 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell af893ddde7 Plane: implement Q_OPTIONS
this allows for NAV_TAKEOFF to be treated as NAV_VTOL_TAKEOFF in
quadplanes, and for level flight to be maintained during quadplane
transitions
2017-10-30 16:30:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8178ab4037 Plane: make mav_type in HEARTBEAT configurable
needed for qgc to setup for quadplanes

maximum pitch to prevent a sudden decelleration
2017-09-09 08:14:09 +10:00

thanks to Marco for finding this issue
2017-09-07 07:22:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6eaad59115 Plane: improve vectored tailsitter takeoff
this gives extra pitch input when taking off a vectored tailsitter,
allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff

thanks to Leonard for the idea!
2017-05-07 09:10:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b1f1ace736 Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d9c3e3d93 Plane: added EKF yaw reset handling to quadplane
this follows the implementation from copter. Thanks to Leonard for the
suggestion
2017-04-24 16:52:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 88e02c7b35 Plane: log the throttle mix for quadplane copter control 2017-04-19 09:08:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 642a6acfcb Plane: support thrust vectoring in tailsitters
adds Q_TAILSIT_VHGAIN and Q_TAILSIT_VFGAIN, allowing for thust
vectoring in both fixed wing and hover
2017-04-11 17:34:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 664e41cec6 Plane: bring in demanded climb rate over 1 second
when we engage the Z controller in quadplane we bring in the climb
rate slowly to prevent a sudden change in motor demand
2017-04-09 16:45:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 36d8f730e1 Plane: setup better defaults for tailsitters 2017-04-04 10:15:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5d06e4238f Plane: make the quadplane motors var_info dynamic
this will allow for more quadplane motors class types
2017-03-25 16:22:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e3a8d477f5 Plane: improve tiltrotor transition strategy
avoid running forward motors at high throttle when transitioning to a
VTOL mode
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3f7e7d456f Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2db8589f49 Plane: smarter Z controller initialisation for quadplanes
this is more generic than the previous one used only for the full
position controller
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c061d5615b Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.

It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.
2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bb25eb194 Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes
2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ea5186340b Plane: added Q_TILT_RATE_UP and Q_TILT_RATE_DN as separate parameters

always allow at least 90 degrees/second for switching to MANUAL
2017-02-25 17:53:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e8b11924f8 Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover
2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c787f4c56f Plane: initial support for tailsitter transitions 2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00

once the tilt is fully fwd then force transition as done at any
airspeed
2017-01-25 19:01:15 +11:00

Randy Mackay c6dec5c3f6 Plane: quad plane uses consolidated multicopter classes 2016-12-31 10:55:23 +09:00
Mathieu OTHACEHE 152edf7189 Global: remove mode line from headers
Using a global .dir-locals.el file is a better alternative than
reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.
2016-10-24 09:42:01 -02:00
Randy Mackay 574976a3b7 Plane: include AP_Proximity in quadplane 2016-10-13 20:21:07 +09:00

Q_GUIDED_MODE=1.

we need a settable mix_max for some vehicles
2016-09-21 12:23:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3d0516fd57 Plane: added Q_ASSIST_ANGLE
this automatically provides quadplane assistance if the angular error
is over the given value for 1 second while flying faster than
Q_ASSIST_SPEED
2016-08-30 08:35:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b29b609bcc Plane: added AFS support for quadplanes 2016-08-16 12:56:12 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 76b6cbbda1 Plane: prevent motor startup on reboot in quadplanes
we need to prevent RC overrides within px4io from running
2016-08-16 12:53:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 63317e9430 Plane: added throttle suppression for quadplanes
this tries to prevent motor start when on ground. Motors instead go
into spin_when_armed state
2016-08-04 09:43:40 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell f65b46385c Plane: added engine cut on land final in quadplane 2016-07-25 15:46:17 +10:00
