Andrew Tridgell fe964fcda0 PID: change to float input/output
this makes the PID library a bit more flexible for smaller range
numbers. Note that this library is used on ArduPlane and Rover, not
Copter

Andrew Tridgell 1121254606 AP_InertialSensor: added filter frequency support to PX4 driver 2013-02-07 11:20:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5643c371b9 AP_InertialSensor: removed unused new_data_available() and temperature() APIs 2013-02-07 10:23:37 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7b1245937c AP_InertialSensor: always sample at 200Hz in MPU6000
this changes the sampling to 200Hz regardless of requested rate, and
it is downsampled inside num_samples_available() using a shift. This
gives better noise resistance in ArduPlane.

This patch also makes it possible to update the filter frequency while
running, which is very useful for bench testing with a vibration
source

Jochen Tuchbreiter c5f19f5df8 Plane: Implement issue 80: counterclockwise loiter
- libraries/AP_Common/AP_Common.h: Use bit 2 of Location.options to store
  loiter direction
- ArduPlane/defines.h: New bitmask MASK_OPTIONS_LOITER_DIRECTION for struct
  Location bit 2
- ArduPlane/ArduPlane.pde: New variable loiter_direction
- ArduPlane/GCS_Mavlink.pde: For mavlink loiter-commands use sign of param3 to

  correctly
- ArduPlane/commands_logic.pde: Set loiter_direction on all loiter-actions
  as well as RTL/instant loiter

Andrew Tridgell db8da71f65 Revert "AP_HAL_AVR: Improved AVRTimer micros() and millis()"
This reverts commit 527dcdf3b9.

This was causing the MPU6000 startup code to fail, due to time running
backwards.

John Arne Birkeland 527dcdf3b9 AP_HAL_AVR: Improved AVRTimer micros() and millis()
- More efficient code by using 16-bit timer
- micros() now has proper 1 us resolution and less overhead
- millis() has less overhead
- removed unneeded/unwanted initializatin of timers in AVRTimer::init()

Andrew Tridgell d7409b6a25 HAL_PX4: startup in low priority to fix CLI
this ensures that tight sensor loops in setup() can run without
sleeping
2013-01-25 20:44:36 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7359348e2c HAL_PX4: added support for /fs/microsd/APM/nostart
prevents APM startup

Andrew Tridgell 8f2f4b1bc5 HAL_PX4: use write() to /dev/pwm_output for servo output
this lowest the cost of PWM output a lot, but relies on the new I2C
based IO firmware

Andrew Tridgell 9b4c75c66b RC_Channel: don't change trim if radio in is zero 2013-01-25 20:44:36 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f9d43f4c3e HAL_PX4: prevent loop() overruns using hrt
this ensures if loop() takes more than 1 second, the main task gets
its priority dropped until loop() completes

Andrew Tridgell c9799fb2b7 HAL_PX4: writing more than 512 bytes at a time can cause IO errors
the vfat fs in NuttX is really very picky!
2013-01-23 16:54:44 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 952df2fced HAL_PX4: new buffered storeage driver for microsd cards
this does all IO in the timer thread, avoids writes that don't change
data, and does all writes in multiples of 128 byte chunks. This should
be about as friendly to SD cards as we can get.
2013-01-23 16:37:40 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f72b532405 HAL_PX4: ensure all writes go via buffers
this prevents output corruption by direct fd writes
2013-01-23 09:22:51 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a10727902 HAL_PX4: run timer thread as SCHED_FIFO
this ensures it never yields to the main thread, which would break our
locking assumptions

Andrew Tridgell 6e8501603c HAL_PX4: avoid RCOutput ioctl unless values change
this lowers latency somewhat

Andrew Tridgell 89cb3fbd61 HAL_PX4: fixed blocking IO in UART driver 2013-01-22 21:52:21 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 6ffa18fa61 HAL_PX4: rewrite UART driver to be much more efficient
this does the IO in the timer thread, and uses buffers in the main
task to avoid system call costs in the flight code.

The cost of PX4 read and write system calls is quite high - about 10
to 15 usec. We can't afford to pay that per byte
