Andrew Tridgell 66544a5db2 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs
we no longer do page based erase, so printing a + every 128 pages
makes no sense

Robert Lefebvre c5f7b2fff2 Fixed Syntax error. 2012-05-15 12:35:35 -04:00
Robert Lefebvre c8fb9a6635 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.

Adam M Rivera 41702aca94 ArduCopter: Updated param name from auto_land_timer to loiter_timer, because it could really be used for more routines like auto-approach. Added timer before approach (20s). 2012-04-16 10:07:57 -05:00
Adam M Rivera a366bb2f81 Parameters: Changed rtl_approach_alt to float to support more granular altitudes 2012-04-16 10:06:29 -05:00

Adam M Rivera a24b7bcf14 ArduCopter: Added check to g.rtl_approach_alt, which if greater than zero will initiate an approach to the target alt rather than land. 2012-04-15 16:54:43 -05:00

rmackay9 f8210b164c ArduCopter - Parameters.h - changed initialisation order to remove compiler warning (have not changed enum values so shouldn't require eeprom format id update) 2012-04-09 17:37:06 +09:00
rmackay9 df85051574 ArduCopter - added dataflash logging of roll and pitch rate controllers 2012-04-08 10:19:20 +09:00
rmackay9 998058ec07 ArduCopter - removed unused motor pde files including heli.pde, motors_hexa.pde, motors_octa.pde, motors_octa_quad.pde, motors_tri.pde and motors_y6.pde 2012-04-04 23:06:12 +09:00
rmackay9 ad9a8acbab ArduCopter - test.pde - changed references "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of move to AP_Motors library.
Change to ESC initialisation calls to use motors.throttle_pass_through method of AP_Motors class.
2012-04-04 23:05:26 +09:00
rmackay9 1d086c83f0 ArduCopter - system.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of the move to use AP_Motors library. 2012-04-04 23:03:21 +09:00
rmackay9 4aa40bdf10 ArduCopter - setup.pde - changed cli for helicopter to call the new AP_Motors class's parameters instead of the global parameters.
changed init_esc to call the AP_Motor's class's "throttle_pass_through" function.
2012-04-04 23:02:29 +09:00
rmackay9 473126581d ArduCopter - radio.pde - changed motor initialisation to set update rate, frame orientation, min and max throttle to AP_Motors class.
Note: perhaps the motors speed at least should be moved to a parameter within the motors class.
output_min function greatly simplified as this is handled by the AP_Motors class.
2012-04-04 23:00:56 +09:00
rmackay9 905a445391 ArduCopter - motors.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" because we've moved to using the AP_Motors class.
Simplified set_servos_4 function which was responsible for calling "output_motors_armed" or "output_motors_disarmed" as this determination as to whether the motors are armed or not is handled within the AP_Motors class.
2012-04-04 22:58:42 +09:00
rmackay9 aa54458dcf ArduCopter - leds.pde - changed refrences to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" 2012-04-04 22:57:50 +09:00
rmackay9 7df17e9b3b ArduCopter - removed references to MOT_1 etc as these are now within the AP_Motors class (i.e. MOT_1 has become AP_MOTORS_MOT_1) 2012-04-04 22:56:07 +09:00
rmackay9 ee308ea06c ArduCopter - increased firmware version to 118. Removed nearly all heli parameters as these are all created by the AP_MotorHeli class now.
Note: we cannot move the heli_servos to the AP_MotorHeli class yet because of a small issue in the parameters class.
2012-04-04 22:55:07 +09:00
rmackay9 8402a3d837 ArduCopter - Log.pde - changed MOT output to dataflash to take values from AP_Motors class's motor_out array instead of the global motor_out array. 2012-04-04 22:53:21 +09:00
rmackay9 e5710958bc ArduCopter - GCS_Mavlink.pde - changed output to ground station to use new AP_Motor's class motors array inplace of the global "motor_out" array. 2012-04-04 22:52:26 +09:00
rmackay9 aa4085183c ArduCopter - Attitude.pde - moved heli_get_angle_boost from heli.pde (which will be removed) to Attitude.pde. In fact we should combine heli_get_angle_boost and the regular get_angle_boost. 2012-04-04 22:51:39 +09:00
rmackay9 54a0709759 ArduCopter - add includes for new AP_Motors classes.
Remove global motor_filtered and motor_out arrays.
Removed all global heli variables.
replace "motor_armed" with "motors.armed()"
removed output to rc_4 for tri because this is now handled by AP_MotorsTri class
2012-04-04 22:50:43 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell c0a54762c6 MAVLink: port the new adaptive flow control to ArduCopter
This allows for arbitrary stream rates, and supports flow control if
you are using a 3DR radio
2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
rmackay9 75d7308fb4 ArduCopter - CH6 tuning - changed Roll/Pitch Rate D tuning to use the user supplied tuning range instead of the range / 100.
also changed heli_ext_gyro_gain to make it use the tuning range directly.
2012-03-31 09:28:25 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.

This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates
2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7634f541b9 ACM: use set_blocking_writes(false) when we arm motors 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient

As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile
2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0bc604f030 ACM: removed FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE
we now have the EEPROM option COMPASS_AUTODEC instead
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 51b70e4d36 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
rmackay9 0efb0e5b4d ArduCopter - added CH6_STABILIZE_KD tuning value 2012-03-29 21:09:41 +09:00

#define CH6_YAW_KI 24
        #define CH6_ACRO_KP 25
        #define CH6_YAW_RATE_KD 26
        #define CH6_LOITER_KI 27

Jason Short 730476fdfd 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
