Tom Pittenger ebec68c55b Plane: param desc to increase THR_MIN range to include negative thrust 2016-02-10 22:18:07 -08:00
Tom Pittenger a920b7322d Plane: more desc for param USE_REV_THRUST 2016-02-10 22:04:50 -08:00
Tom Pittenger 2e92089ce6 Plane: Reverse Thrust
Reverse thrust for controlled landings, even with much steeper approach slopes. This is achieved by allowing throttle demand to go negative to maintain a target airspeed. A Pre-Flare stage was added, triggered by an altitude, to allow for a slower airspeed just before land. That lower airspeed can be near stall.
new params LAND_PF_ALT, LAND_PF_SEC, LAND_PF_ARSPD, USE_REV_THRUST

Tom Pittenger 7cde90553d Plane: new param CRASH_ACC_THRESH
@Description: X-Axis deceleration threshold to notify the crash detector that there was a possible impact which helps disarm the motor quickly after a crash. This value should be much higher than normal negative x-axis forces during normal flight, check flight log files to determine the average IMU.x values for your aircraft and motor type. Higher value means less sensative (triggers on higher impact). For electric planes that don't vibrate much during fight a value of 25 is good (that's about 2.5G). For petrol/nitro planes you'll want a higher value. Set to 0 to disable the collision detector.

Lucas De Marchi a6fd94c6fe ArduPlane: fix wrong printf format for 32 bits
"micros() - before" doesn't return a long value. Use "%u".

Lucas De Marchi 20c6ffc5e3 Replace use of UARTDriver::printf_P() with UARTDriver::printf()
This also starts to show warnings on places that were already using
wrong printf format strings.

Lucas De Marchi 6f4904189b Replace use of println_P() with println() 2015-10-30 14:35:22 +09:00
Lucas De Marchi 831d8acca5 Remove use of PROGMEM
Now variables don't have to be declared with PROGMEM anymore, so remove
them. This was automated with:

    git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/ PROGMEM / /g'
    git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/PROGMEM//g'

The 2 commands were done so we don't leave behind spurious spaces.

AVR-specific places were not changed.

Lucas De Marchi 2c38e31c93 Remove use of PSTR
The PSTR is already define as a NOP for all supported platforms. It's
only needed for AVR so here we remove all the uses throughout the
codebase.

This was automated with a simple python script so it also converts
places which spans to multiple lines, removing the matching parentheses.

AVR-specific places were not changed.

it should be a values list

Tom Pittenger 25da4ec0ea Plane: added flight stage FLIGHT_LAND_ABORT and abort mechanism
- enabled via new param LAND_ABORT_THR default is 0 (disabled)
- Triggered via 95% throttle during landing, a landing abort will take place.
- This copies all takeoff params for right now, we can make this better later if needed
- added mission item command to NAV_LAND which is the abort takeoff altitude. If 0 then use last takeoff if available, else use 30m
- hold heading, just like takeoff, until altitude is reached
- pitch is constrained to takeoff pitch, or else 10deg if not available
- After abort altitude is reached, the normal landing restart happens (DO_LAND_START or decrement mission)
- restart landing by jumping to DO_LAND_START or decrement mission on mode change

Stewart Loving-Gibbard 722dd29370 Plane: Moving to RSSI library for reading various kinds of RSSI, with the possibility of adding more.
* Retains ability to read from Analog Pin
* Adds ability to read RSSI from PWM channel value as is done in OpenLRSng, EazyUHF, and various other LRS.
* Handles any type of RSSI that provides RSSI values inverted - i.e. when the low value is the best signal and the high value is the worst signal.
* Has different key names from all existing RSSI parameters to provide for a clean break and easier distinguishing.
* Existing parameters are marked as obsolete
