Xichen Shi 8c46fced16 APM: Added functionality to use differential spoilers in elevon mode
spoiler 1 and 2 are connected to 2 auxiliary channels, functions are
set to 16 on left wing and 17 om right wing respectively. Worked in
FBW + mode (auto etc.). No manual mode supported yet (need more
channels in my case).

Andrew Tridgell 5f3ffe4839 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!
2012-09-11 16:39:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e672628ea APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c9a299665c APM: added speed scaling to wheeled steering

Andrew Tridgell e2779523ea APM: fixed fetch of relative altitude waypoints
when we fetch relative altitude waypoints from APM to a file, we need
to preserve the altitude
2012-09-10 09:40:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell feb3fe77ce APM: simplify radio_trim code
this removes the duplicate code. Throttle trim is not changed.
2012-09-09 19:39:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5c3595e0dc APM: fixed throttle nudging
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

Andrew Tridgell 164c60d25f APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling
2012-09-08 10:07:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 130b26e1f9 APM: support DO_SET_SERVO command 2012-09-08 10:06:53 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell a446a7a9ed APM: allow serial buffer size to be configured
very useful for packet forwarding setups
2012-09-08 10:06:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b2ad55773 APM: added forwarding of unknown MAVLink types 2012-09-08 10:06:15 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 68705fe7e6 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

Andrew Tridgell 83153eebd4 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX
2012-08-30 20:15:42 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell f6c3197cd2 APM: added new TELEM_DELAY parameter
number of seconds to delay telemetry
2012-08-30 08:59:39 +10:00
Craig Elder 4ad516c445 Arducopter: increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Arduplane:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Ardurover:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
2012-08-28 20:09:10 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell e2b8817a89 APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.
2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fce01464b1 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell d13d117e61 APM: removed reset_I() and instead auto-reset integrator in PID library
this prevents us resetting key integrators on waypoint change, while
still preventing old integrators being used when a PID starts to be
used again
2012-08-28 20:18:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dcbd0fbd44 APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

rmackay9 360c1198a6 ArduPlane: more "int" to "int16_t" and added cast to (int) in printf statements.
Also modified dump_log function's last_log_num to be int16_t which matches return type from DataFlash's find_last_log method.
2012-08-18 18:55:14 +09:00
rmackay9 6d489947cf ArduPlane: replaced many "int" with "int16_t", "long" with "int32_t" 2012-08-18 18:26:13 +09:00

Andrew Tridgell d27e51f20a APM: allow telemetry send during parameter and waypoint fetch
this slows down telemetry by a factor of 4 during parameter or
waypoint transmit. That ensures that mode changes and gps position are
still updated during a long parameter fetch
2012-08-16 10:50:12 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ed064b2506 MAVLink: enable fetching of single parameters
this makes it possible for the GCS to fetch a single parameter by
name, which is useful for parameters that change in flight
2012-08-16 10:14:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c960db7af5 APM: allow for separate calibration of airspeed/barometer
this is useful just before takeoff, to account for temperature changes
2012-08-15 19:49:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ad73c229ab APM: added LAND_FLARE_ALT and LAND_FLARE_SEC

2012-08-15 16:28:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ffbd229841 APM: use AHRS position for geo-fence
this allows it to take account of dead-reckoning
2012-08-15 14:31:10 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell df3c8a5bc0 APM: when land_complete is true, use land_pitch
this gives a flare on final landing
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d7fcbd14b APM: reload airspeed and throttle after landing
this allows for restarting a mission after landing with reasonable
airspeed values
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 47be6d8ad1 AP_Airspeed: remove airspeed filter and run at 10Hz
this saves on the filter memory, and gives just as good a result
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e26e8b3b67 APM: added RDRSTEER_ PID for steering on ground

reported, but the flight mode is not changed
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8cb55eb75a APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message
this will be used for failsafe processing
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0584017aff APM: expose change_command() and geofence_breached() to libraries
this makes a failsafe library easier

Andrew Tridgell 2865434d02 APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5631b90222 APM: interpret zero lat/lng as being current location
this makes it easy to have a "loiter in current position" mission
element
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f1d5645b APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bdc7d41be INS: disable INS AP_Param table when not on APM1 hardware
this could cause overwriting of memory with default values

Andrew Tridgell c31eef59ae Mavlink: log wind estimation result 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9b09d2c93 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available
2012-08-11 12:01:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9fea3e3ac1 APM: pass airspeed sensor to AHRS 2012-08-11 08:57:44 +10:00

this allows missions to be partially updated in flight
2012-08-09 17:13:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dc47074dbd MAVLink: removed the need for Mavlink_compat.h
we have now fully transitioned to MAVLink 1.0, so we no longer need
the compatibility layer and the old names in the code
2012-08-09 12:22:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a7b298bbc MAVLink: moved mavlink variables back to library
these were moved to the main sketches to allow for compile time
selection of MAVLink 0.9 vs 1.0. We no longer support 0.9, so we can
move it back, which simplifies some test sketches
2012-08-09 12:06:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5498d347f3 APM: Added RST_MISSION_CH option
this allows a pilot to reset the mission using a transmitter
switch. Very useful for repeating a mission during testing
2012-08-09 10:33:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e2c8ec2c9e APM: removed THROTTLE_REVERSE option
Better to use RC3_REV
2012-08-09 10:04:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e133900c68 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option
this replaces the compile time option. Disabling during long distance
flights when the transmitter may be out of range is useful.
2012-08-09 08:53:29 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas d34549f386 Add an optional second mount to ArduPlane and ArduCopter 2012-08-08 23:22:24 +02:00

Andrew Tridgell 2114acddf1 APM: fixed default flap speed
the default of 255 translates to -1 as a AP_Int8, so use zero to mean
no flaps
2012-08-08 13:04:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bfd1200d6 APM: change variables to use _cm, _cd and _ms suffix for units
this makes it less likely that we mix up units
2012-08-08 12:12:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a823c9ceae APM: removed cli slider and dipswitch options
use mavlink/eeprom for all config
2012-08-08 12:12:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 12cd6b68ff AP_Param: update ArduPlane core for new AP_Param interface 2012-08-08 12:11:57 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger 7815e3d810 APM: fixed rounding of altitude
the cast was rounding to the nearest meter
2012-08-08 12:07:35 +10:00

Amilcar Lucas b8c7b8a786 RC_Channel: Allow each channel to know who they are, this simplifies the enabling and output function calls. 2012-08-05 23:08:31 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 9c1ac2d9e6 More work on ch9, 10 and 11 2012-08-04 19:44:41 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 95f2af6d2d Implement set ROI 2012-08-04 18:44:29 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 4ba847c449 The mount type must be updated periodically 2012-08-04 18:44:08 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas bbc4bdb729 More flexible RC support 2012-08-04 18:39:20 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 50b5d33745 Enable camera triggering by default 2012-08-04 16:32:47 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 82b82283be ATmega1280 does not have enough memory for mount support so disable AUTO GPS support, to allow mount support to fit.
This should almost have no side effects, because the most users use MTK anyways.
If the user defined a GPS protocol, than we will NOT overwrite it
2012-08-04 16:32:20 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell 301ab00c5b APM: added control switch debouncer
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

Andrew Tridgell 6bcfe913f7 APM: added a SCALING_SPEED parameter
this allows users to adjust the base speed used for scaling roll/pitch
PIDs. This can be used to make PIDs work for both airspeed and
non-airspeed control
2012-07-26 11:30:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3c2fc72654 APM: fixed HIL build 2012-07-26 10:09:07 +10:00

the SET_ROI commands are not supported yet
2012-07-26 10:03:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e697e4abd APM: switch back to old nav_roll calculation
the old nav_roll will be used for the 2.50 release to prevent the need
for re-tuning. For the release after that we will use the new
calculation
2012-07-26 10:03:36 +10:00
