- add COL2_MIN/MID/MAX parameters that control limits of rear swashplate
- output collective_mid correctly for rear swashplate when servo is in manual mode
We need to update the esc scaling from inside the Motors library, that
has access to the MOT_PWM_[MIN|MAX] values. Otherwise even though the
AP_Motors library honors the value for calculations, the RCOutput
drivers that need the scaling to set the real HW scaling will not work.
Right now it scales the value using the throttle_channel's min/max, even
though AP_Motors may be passing values in other range.
Octa-H is like an Quad-X but with each side having two additional motors placed between the front an back motors.
Octa-H is quite different from Quad-H.
AP_MOTORS_x_FRAME definitions moved to motor_frame_type enum
init function and now accepts frame-class and type to perform initial motor setup
set_frame_class_and_type allows real-time changing of motor setup
initialised_ok flag and accessor records whether setup was successful
We currently check examples are buildable with waf which doesn't need
the libraries to be specified in a make.inc file. Having the makefiles
there is misleading since people try to build and realize the build is
broken.
this gives more control over throttle for petrol
helis. H_RSC_POWER_NEGC allows for a asymmetric V-curve, which allows
for less power being put into the head when landing or when sitting on
the ground. That can lead to significantly less vibration and chance
of ground oscillation. A heli not being flown with aerobatics does not
need to use high throttle at negative collective pitch.
The H_RSC_SLEWRATE allows for a maximum throttle slew rate to be
set. Some petrol motors can cut if the throttle is moved too
quickly. We had this happen at a height of 6m when switching from
ALT_HOLD to STABILIZE mode. It also lowers the chance of the blades
skewing in their holders with the sudden change of power when the heli
is disarmed. In general it is a bad idea to do instantaneous large
movements of a IC engine throttle.
