Andrew Tridgell 6a769b728e Plane: fixed yaw on the ground when rudder disarming in AUTO
when a quadplane touches down in an auto throttle mode the pilot may
use rudder to disarm. The check for rudder disarm was only active in
modes without auto-throttle. This expands it to all modes if the
throttle has hit the lower limit

Andrew Tridgell f1f6c34132 Plane: added a value for RTL_AUTOLAND to disable arming check
set RTL_AUTOLAND=3 to get go-around but not RTL DO_LAND_START usage

Andrew Tridgell 727e066fa9 Plane: prevent rapid RTL/AUTO switching on fence breach
don't switch back to RTL if already in a DO_LAND_START sequence

Andrew Tridgell 04f464772b Plane: when shutting down motors force outputs to minimum
this fixes issue #20354 where a long spool time can lead to motors
running without control for an extended period of time.

Tim Tuxworth 6e915df31b Plane: Display Fence Breach message in GCS
Send a "Geofence breach" message to the Ground Control Station. Without this when the fence is breached and if anything happens as a result, such as RTL, it will happen silently.

Andrew Tridgell 8b7366d619 Plane: adjust throttle mix for auto landing
use mix-max during landing approach and initial descent, use min in
land final. As discussed with Leonard

Andrew Tridgell 6e3a2663bf Plane: check that RTL_AUTOLAND is set if using DO_LAND_START 2022-03-18 14:23:23 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 14571ee24b Plane: added airspeed based pitch limit check
prevent using too much pitch when at low airspeed, which can lead to
severe instability in SLT quadplanes
2022-03-16 08:12:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d7052b4d5a Plane: added an arming check for Q_ASSIST_SPEED
Q_ASSIST should really be enabled for all non-tailsitter
quadplanes. This arming check will help users remember to configure it

Andrew Tridgell 0bab0dc26c Plane: use set_lean_angle_max_cd()
allows for a wider range of Q_TRANS_DECEL while landing on the desired
landing point

Andrew Tridgell 6839533e5d Plane: improvements to POSITION1 controller
this improves 4 things in the POSITION1 controller based on logs from
4.2.0beta2. The changes are designed to increase the tolerance to
an incorrect value for Q_TRANS_DECEL, reducing landing overshoot

1) we fix the initialisation of the acceleration. The
   init_xy_controller() function assumes zero accel, so we need to
   call set_accel_desired_xy_cmss() just after that init to get the
   correct accel. Thanks to Leonard for this fix

2) if we decel more than expected due to too low Q_TRANS_DECEL we
   need to reduce the target speed, rather than putting the nose down

3) lower the default Q_P_JERK_XY to a value more appropriate for most
   quadplanes (Leonard suggested a value of 2)

4) fixed the pitch envelope from Q_BACKTRANS_MS to start after the
   airbrake phase is complete

Andrew Tridgell 965a571063 Plane: fixed pitch envelope after AIRBRAKE
we need to setup last_fw_mode_ms and last_fw_nav_pitch_cd when we
enter POSITION1 mode so that the expanding envelope pitch limit from
Q_BACKTRANS_MS is applied correctly

Andrew Tridgell e0e60c8654 Plane: disallow mavlink disarm while flying
this relies on is_flying(), and we will need to watch for reports of
the heuristics failing

Andrew Tridgell 1d2a64951c Plane: use pos control for most of LAND_FINAL
this gives more accurate landing with some velocity drift

Andrew Tridgell c41a3af59d Plane: wait till motors are fully up before takeoff in guided mode
this allows for guided mode takeoff in tilt-rotors. Otherwise motors
till be pointing forward and takeoff will go very badly

Andrew Tridgell 32404f5aa5 Plane: cope with high angle error in airbrake state
if we are flying too far off the target vector then exit airbrake
state. This prevents flying for a long distance away from the landing
point in airbrake mode

Andrew Tridgell 948ae05922 Plane: setup target accel in POSITION1 state 2022-03-10 07:36:01 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 395cf1b6dd Plane: allow for a trans decel margin
so if we are behind the velocity curve we are less likely to overshoot
landing

Andrew Tridgell d0ce3c8774 Plane: fix NAV_CONTROLLER_OUTPUT in Q modes
Q modes don't always use wp_nav, but do use pos_control

AUTO and QRTL setup the plane navigation as well, so can use the L1
data

Andrew Tridgell 38662b98d8 Plane: added Q_LAND_ALTCHG parameter
this is the threshold height change over 4 seconds for a landing to be
detected. It can be raised if landing detection is very slow

Peter Barker 13fa1e30ad ArduPlane: rename and make enum RC_Channel::ControlType
Type:: is too generic; get_type should probably be get_control_type

Andrew Tridgell 1bdc9b5bf8 Plane: fixed in_vtol logic so QRTL can AIRBRAKE 2022-02-16 07:43:01 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell aab6c94936 Plane: don't weathervane in AIRBRAKE state
this prevents unwanted VTOL motor throttle while trying to slow
down. In this stage the slaving of yaw rate to fixed wing roll control
is sufficient
2022-02-16 07:43:01 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2846f87eeb Plane: reduce height gain in auto landing for tiltrotors
avoid running the motors while tilted past the tilt max if we are in
AIRBRAKE state. This stops a large amount of forward thrust from the
tilted motors while trying to slow down, while still maintaining
attitude control
