priseborough 5532750a99 AP_AHRS: Add public method to inhibit GPS useage when using EKF 
This provides the calling vehicle software the abiity to request the EKF to not use GPS.
An integer is returned that indicates the type of operation available:
0 = request rejected (request will only be accepted if the EKF is in static mode, eg pre-armed)
1 = request accepted, attitude, vertical velocity and position estimates available
2 = request accepted, attitude, height rate, height, horizontal velocity and relative position estimates available

Andrew Tridgell 270bac4472 AP_AHRS: make get_position() const 
This allows use from within AP_Mission
 2014-10-20 08:36:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4ad643b233 AP_AHRS: use a common function for updating the CD values 
this ensures the wrapping of yaw is consistent between the 3 use cases
 2014-10-15 13:18:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell eec5cd5add AP_AHRS: restore DCM attitude before update() 
The DCM drift correction code uses the current attitude to calculate
error values to update its gyro drift correction. If we were using EKF
then without this patch the DCM code running as an alternative AHRS
source would be using the EKF attitude for calculating the error
value, leading to very bad gyro drift estimation
 2014-10-15 11:15:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 63c06ea2af AP_AHRS: fixed calls to DCM in parent class 
use_compass() and reset() are common to AP_AHRS_DCM and
AP_AHRS_NavEKF. As AP_AHRS_NavEKF is a child of AP_AHRS_DCM, when we
call use_compass() from within AP_AHRS_DCM we actually end up calling
AP_AHRS_NavEKF::use_compass().

This has the effect of disabling the compass in DCM when EKF is active
and EKF has decided not to use the compass. That means that the DCM
yaw (and in fact the whole attitude) can get badly off while EKF is
enabled, making DCM an ineffective fallback if EKF fails.

The fix is to call the specific class versions of use_compass() and
reset()
 2014-10-15 10:12:50 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 809b6cc855 AP_AHRS: added get_yaw_rate_earth()

 2014-10-07 07:17:46 +11:00
Randy Mackay 85eee31510 AHRS: rename ekfNotStarted method to initialised 
Also created default implementation in AP_AHRS class so AP_AHRS_DCM does
not need to implement it.

accelerometer sensor changing.
 2014-02-27 16:28:37 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b53496d470 AP_AHRS: choose the best accelerometer at each drift correction step 
this greatly reduces the impact of aliasing on accelerometers by
choosing the accelerometer that produces the smallest error term in
DCM. The difference can be quite dramatic on the Pixhawk.
 2014-02-27 09:41:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 0b45d2bc06 AP_AHRS: removed the AHRS_GPS_DELAY parameter

out to be useful, so this simplifies the code in preparation for
adding the anti-aliasing handling with multiple accelerometers

this should fix the DCM renorm errors in autotest, probably caused by
bad climb rates
 2012-08-18 13:54:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9cc967508 AHRS: force an extra read of the compass on startup 
the first read from the compass can be bad. This ensures we have a
good value when getting the initial AHRS yaw.

Thanks to Randy and Jason for the bug report!

Andrew Tridgell 73dcbc24c3 Quaternion: we no longer support acceleration in the GPS driver 
remove the linear acceleration compensation code
 2012-08-15 20:07:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b4b7997b6 AHRS: added ahrs.yaw_initialised() 
this allows the high level code to know if the AHRS driver has a
reliable yaw estimate
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 48e275e22d AHRS: avoid a compiler bug in quaternion code 
Having _wind in the AP_AHRS class causes a register allocation error
when building the Quaternion code with some versions of avr-gcc. Quite
bizarre.

Andrew Tridgell 19a5d11669 AHRS: use airspeed for wind in forward flight 
when not turning we can use the airspeed sensor directly to calculate
the wind speed.
 2012-08-12 10:54:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f5b7ae213c AHRS: added AHRS_GPS_USE parameter 
this allows for the GPS to be disables for position updates, which
allows for testing dead-reckoning
 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 779dacfd24 AHRS: added wind estimation code 
this allows us to estimate the wind while we have GPS lock, then use
that estimate in the long term dead reckoning
 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell af4071894e AHRS: added long-term dead-reckoning 
this uses airspeed (if available) or last GPS ground speed to update
our position estimate in AHRS
 2012-08-11 12:00:31 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f95b06a880 AHRS: make airspeed sensor available to AHRS 
this will be used for long term dead-reckoning

rmackay9 468170b589 AP_AHRS_DCM: moved var_info to belong to AP_AHRS_DCM instead of AP_AHRS 2012-07-28 14:16:15 +09:00
Jonathan Challinger 9cd98e79dd AHRS: normalise GA_b before computing error vector only if too large 
When GA_b is small the direction of the vector is unreliable, so
normalising can exacerbate the error in the direction
 2012-07-23 17:16:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5f5ab9c07c AHRS: if we don't have gps correction enabled, zero the yaw correction 2012-07-20 17:21:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c937738732 AHRS: allow the gps/accelerometers to control yaw when rolled 
this solves a problem with yaw estimation when at high roll angles,
when the compass code becomes ineffective

Andrew Tridgell 0f9fb2c64b AHRS: added AHRS_GPS_GAIN parameter 
this allows control of how much GPS velocity information is used in
doing centripetal correction in DCM
 2012-07-10 16:22:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 302696951a AHRS: make the yaw independent drift correction optional and disable 
the new correction algorithm copes poorly with gyro drift, leading to
signification attitude errors in the face of drift
 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8c5ef3e60f AHRS: only enable barometer for AHRS if it is smooth enough 
if we used less than 5 samples to compute the pressure then don't use
it for climb rate
 2012-07-05 16:29:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2cd6da2539 AHRS: only use GPS for yaw when compass is not being used 
this avoids having two competing controllers
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell adfa97b6f8 AHRS: enable barometer for vertical velocity 
this re-enables the barometer for vertical velocity information
for drift correction, now that we have a better filter
on the climb rate
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
rmackay9 faeda3713e AP_AHRS: removed DCM_test example sketch 
No longer required because it doesn't compile and is redundant anyway because the AP_AHRS_DCM class is tested in the AHRS_Test example sketch.
 2012-07-04 18:22:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 3849ca8b5c AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw 
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on
accurate yaw. This means we should get accurate roll/pitch correction
even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)
 2012-07-04 17:00:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1314e4f872 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable 
this is to make it easier for Craig and Alan to tune
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 136c03c3c0 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro() 
this makes it more useful for navigation controllers
 2012-06-29 21:54:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 16c55c64d4 AHRS: don't add the P terms in _omega 
this can lead feedback via the _P_gain()
 2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37fc6c46b9 AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration 
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.

It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.

Andrew Tridgell 58c4d458dc AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code 
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.
 2012-06-28 11:09:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fd241692d0 AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm 
we need to work out why Craigs quad flipped today before we enable
this new drift correction
 2012-06-27 18:16:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e044a560b AHRS: include P term in omega 
thanks to Jon for suggesting this
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37e2f2ee2c AHRS: implement spin rate limits 
this follows the method that Bill developed in his fastRotations
paper. We've demonstrated that this is indeed needed in APM, as we
were able to produce the 'dizzy' effects in both the ArduPlane and
ArduCopter simulator
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e4a245179c AHRS: cope with copters with no compass 
if a copter doesn't have a compass, we can't use the GPS for gyro
drift correction
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3a41ad8e7c AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer 
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.

The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger d230690b7b AHRS: brought DCM more inline with Bill's implementation 
omega_I applied continuously. _ki larger. Stop integrating when _omega.length()>20

The key change was the scaling of ge to ensure the error is not
quadratic
 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d4c8041c51 AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system 
This makes 3 major changes:

 1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
 constant

 2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings

 3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
 to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses

Andrew Tridgell f274df454a DCM: fixed a bug when using GPS for yaw correction 
When using GPS for yaw correction we need to apply the x and y omegaI
corrections from the _omega_I_sum in the period before we get to the
minimum ground speed for GPS yaw correction. Otherwise we get a large
sudden omega_I change on takeoff.

rmackay9 6e1798b104 AP_AHRS: updated default AHRS_YAW_P to 0.2 (was 0.4)

Andrew Tridgell 2a3af369b6 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds 
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.
 2012-04-23 12:13:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f27d85cb8d DCM: drop the 'drop z' method 
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

  http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:Comment:834373

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.
