the same function so as to avoid interfering with each other
 2013-05-17 14:42:28 +09:00

APM_Config.h has been added
 2013-05-17 12:19:07 +09:00
Randy Mackay 6a173eb7ad Copter: remove unused dump_state function 
Feel free to add this back in when doing debug.  Let's not have too much
debug permanently in the code because it makes it harder to read.

Randy Mackay b3bca271d4 Copter: rename verify_must to verify_nav_command 
Perhaps easier to understand if we use the "nav" and "conditional"
command labels
 2013-05-10 12:06:29 +09:00
Randy Mackay b65d714675 Copter: set yaw-mode in do_loiter mission command 2013-05-10 10:51:46 +09:00
Randy Mackay 98732ae4e8 Copter: remove redundant init of controllers when auto is started 
individual do_* commands are responsible for setting roll-pitch, yaw and
throttle modes.  Removing this redundant setting of the controllers
removes the short period (10th second max) where loiter and waypoint
controller's desired roll and pitch were used even before the
controllers have been run once.
 2013-05-10 10:51:13 +09:00
Randy Mackay 870b9b0fbb Copter: only run nav controllers when auto-armed

throttle being raised
 2013-05-10 10:46:17 +09:00

controller are first engaged
 2013-05-09 18:32:02 +09:00
Randy Mackay d0fb332e9f Copter: init_rc_out in cli's compassmot setup 
Bug fix to allow cli's compass motor compensation to be run from the

Randy Mackay 1cfd5900a8 Copter: add support for H-quad frame 
H-quads are like X quads but the motors spin in the opposite direction.
Having the motors reversed seems to help with yaw authority because of
the slight flex in bodies
 2013-05-03 23:13:40 +09:00
Randy Mackay 647a93e78e Copter: remove jerk when entering RTL or AUTO 
Loiter target position was not being initialised properly.

Randy Mackay 74dca6da22 Copter: move update_commands to run_autopilot fn 
update_commands was being run in the medium_loop counter but it is
easier to understand the flow of the code if it is consolidated along
with other autopilot calls.
 2013-04-24 20:59:49 +09:00

home when RTLing.
Replaces YAW_OVR_BEHAVE which had a very similar purpose.  Almost nobody
ever knew about or used this parameter.

change

Randy Mackay d1344e8c39 Copter: remove #define for CROSSTRACK_GAIN 
Note: the cross track is still calculated inside the inertial nav based
loiter and wp controls but it's no longer requires a tunable parameter
 2013-03-17 16:56:18 +09:00
Randy Mackay 1b6fcad90a Copter: remove tilt compensation parameter 
Note: this idea of feed forward tilt compensation is being incorporated

Randy Mackay 61e29173e3 Copter: remove unused crosstrack variables and parameters 
Cross track is still calculated internally to the wpnav controller so we

 2013-02-23 13:14:15 +09:00
Jason Short 7d5b975da2 AC: Flip code fix 
Flight tested it today and made some flips. Throttle adjusted in Manual throttle modes. Not tested in AP throttle modes such as alt hold.

Includes changes required on ArduCopter and ArduPlane side as well
 2013-01-26 17:04:12 +09:00
Randy Mackay 0056bfadd7 Copter: rename ROLL_PITCH_LOITER 
new name ROLL_PITCH_LOITER_INAV makes it more clear that it should only
be used with the new inertial nav loiter controllers
 2013-01-25 23:27:31 +09:00

Also bug fix to hold yaw on take-off
 2013-01-15 12:17:52 +09:00
Randy Mackay 2dab40abeb Copter: bug fix to altitude check of verify takeoff 
set_next_WP function was not setting the alt_change_flag properly

Randy Mackay 8bbc93bb04 Copter: added CH7 switch to enabling/disable the sonar in flight 
This indirectly switches surface tracking on/off which is useful to
avoid tracking the tops of uneven objects when far above the ground
 2013-01-14 14:00:08 +09:00
Randy Mackay df2137ed72 Copter: constrain loiter so that it never commands more than 45 degrees of lean in lat or lon directions 2013-01-14 13:34:19 +09:00
Randy Mackay fef7569dee Copter: added experimental LOITER_REPOSITIONING #define to config.h 
APM_Config.h should be used to overriding the standard parameters but
they still require a definition in config.h or they will be undefined
when built by the mission planner.
 2013-01-14 13:34:14 +09:00
Randy Mackay 76f032160c Copter: relax altitude check in verify_takeoff

little to no overshoot with the new accel based alt controller this
check was failing for some users.
 2013-01-14 13:34:06 +09:00
Randy Mackay 8ac95d6034 ArduCopter: updated release notes for 2.9-rc4 2013-01-13 20:01:13 +11:00

Randy Mackay 08dc730d40 ArduCopter: bug fix to LAND flight mode not actually landing if initiated from failsafe 
An hidden bit of failsafe functionality in the set_mode function was
switching the throttle mode back to THROTTLE_AUTO instead of
THROTTLE_LAND
 2013-01-13 20:01:03 +11:00
Randy Mackay 175f69a64f ArduCopter: smooth throttle when switching from manual throttle to alt hold 
new set_accel_throttle_I_from_pilot_throttle function copies the
difference between the pilot's throttle and hover throttle to the
accelerometer based throttle controller's I term.
 2013-01-13 20:00:59 +11:00
Randy Mackay 9ad6f711f8 ArduCopter: replace FS_THR_RTL_MIN_DISTANCE with wp_radius 
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters.  Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).
 2013-01-13 20:00:47 +11:00
Randy Mackay 19abdc3cd3 ArduCopter: update release notes for rc3 2013-01-13 20:00:43 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell b0c710b67f Copter: move read_AHRS() before run_rate_controllers() 
this ensures the rate controllers use the latest data
 2013-01-13 20:00:14 +11:00
rmackay9 f25f1cb3bf ArduCopter: changed alt hold to use the sonar if enabled and healthy 2013-01-13 19:56:19 +11:00
rmackay9 21b6c78d12 ArduCopter: added get_throttle_althold_with_slew to allow slower altitude target changes 
Improved surface tracking by using slewed althold controller
Reduced sonar mode filter to just 3 elements to reduce lag but at the possible consequence of allowing sonar noise to creep through for people with margin sonar set-ups.
 2013-01-13 19:51:47 +11:00
Pat Hickey 164246c7d8 ArduCopter: better instructons for setup_motors cli test

Pat Hickey d7eeeab79e ArduCopter: fix new style Log.pde build for PX4. 
randy - you should please review these changes to make sure you wanted
to have the int16_t type in all of these structs, or how you want to
convert all these other integer types to int16_t if you do need it that
way.
 2013-01-12 13:11:25 -08:00
Randy Mackay 87627d883b ArduCopter: use new logging method for remaining packet types 
Additional changes include renaming RAW dataflash type to IMU
 2013-01-13 00:17:44 +09:00
Randy Mackay 177da0ca74 ArduCopter: fixed minor bug in logging of parameter changes to dataflash 
It is questionable whether we should even bother writing these to the
dataflash as there is no way to recognise which parameter has been
affectded
 2013-01-13 00:15:34 +09:00
Randy Mackay b4bbae56c6 ArduCopter: reduce redundant event logging 
We now only write state changes to the dataflash log when they have
changed.
Also replaced <tab> with <space> in AP_State.pde
 2013-01-13 00:13:10 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell af478d52bc Copter: use the new logging methods for 2 packet types 
the rest still need to be converted

Pat Hickey 0ff6ed12b1 ArduCopter Makefile: Don't include targets.mk directly (included by apm.mk) 2013-01-09 13:15:38 -08:00
James Bielman 7374e5d84e ArduCopter: Use 16-bit arithmetic when comparing event tick counters. 
- On the ARM, once the tick counter wrapped, we stopped running events
  because the wraparound case wasn't being handled correctly.  Make
  sure the comparison is 16 bits to prevent this.
 2013-01-09 11:19:52 -08:00
James Bielman 7827a4a54a ArduCopter: Add AP_HAL_SMACCM support. 
- Added default configuration to "config.h".

 2013-01-09 11:19:51 -08:00
James Bielman ab37f833db MS5611: Fix CONFIG_MS5611_SERIAL definitions. 
- Make sure the values are defined as integers.  We were always using
  SPI rather than using I2C when desired.
 2013-01-09 11:19:51 -08:00
Andrew Tridgell e575c5eba0 Copter: read baro at 50Hz 2013-01-09 23:46:05 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell d952ccf968 Copter: added main_loop_ready() function 
this tells us when the main loop is ready to run. MAVLink won't send a
message if the main loop could run.
 2013-01-07 11:07:34 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b079a96eaf Copter: removed GPS_STATUS message 
this message is huge, and completely pointless now that we have
num_satellites in GPS_RAW_INT
 2013-01-05 20:39:31 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c48714be16 Copter: enabled PX4 sensors 2013-01-05 20:39:31 +11:00
