Andrew Tridgell c7d5f06b21 AP_Math: added quaternion helper functions and a test suite 2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f70dfe440d Quaternion: fix the gyro bias in centripetal and remove smoothing
the centripetal code needs to take account of the current gyro
bias.

It turned out that the accel and gyro smoothing was causing
significant control lag, and we're better off just letting the
quaternion code handle it via its own smoothing parameters

Andrew Tridgell 47ddd4dfdd SITL: disable interrupts during register updates
this may prevent bogus mode channel reads
2012-03-10 10:34:30 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7256652de5 Quaternion: use GPS to correct for linear acceleration

Andrew Tridgell 3b1782f369 DCM: don't use the z accel sensor for drift correction
the z accel is the noisest, and seems to do more harm than good. Using
just x and y is sufficient for drift correction by assuming the vector
length
2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4031320f7c DCM: added a small amount of gyro and accel smoothing
