rmackay9 9750c14325 ArduCopter: RTL clean-up and slightly improved landing sensor
Consolidated RTL state to be captured by rtl_state variable.
Combined update_RTL_Nav and verify_RTL functions which performed the same function but one was for missions, the other for the RTL flight mode.
Renamed some RTL parameters and global variables to have RTL at the front.
Landing detector now checks accel-throttle's I term and/or a very low throttle value

rmackay9 9447d08fdd ArduCopter: increase CONTROL_SWITCH_COUNTER so that flight mode switch must be changed for at least 1/10th of a second 2012-12-06 10:31:46 +09:00
rmackay9 eb3ad15843 ArduCopter: allow INERTIAL_NAV to be enabled separately for horizontal and vertical position 2012-12-06 10:31:41 +09:00
rmackay9 450b6e13a4 ArduCopter: switch on INS in APM_Config.h (i.e. on by default for users uploading through Arduino IDE) 2012-12-06 10:31:36 +09:00
rmackay9 8a0faebb21 ArduCopter: pass linear altitude error to throttle rate controllers.
Previously the requested rate used the square root of the altitude error.

Scale pilot's desired vertical rate and acceleration based on ACCELERATION_MAX_Z and VELOCITY_MAX_Z #defines

rmackay9 1285198b71 ArduCopter: added back in angle boost and recombined for heli and multicopter 2012-12-06 10:30:55 +09:00
rmackay9 c1ce0ae752 ArduCopter: first merge of leonard's accel based altitude controller plus other changes from Randy
Changes include:
New low-level get_throttle_accel function takes target acceleration and compares vs earth-frame Z accelerometer values to produce output to motors.
Higher level throttle controllers modified to call new get_throttle_accel controller
Throttle_rate_stabilized controller added which maintains a desired climb/descent rate
Throttle_land controller added - descends using normal auto throttle controller to 10m then descends at 50cm/s
Multiple throttle modes added including landing mode
Land flight mode no longer needs GPS
Throttle cruise maintenance moved to update_throttle_cruise function

Bringing in Low Pas Filter
Commented out because it does not build.

Robert Lefebvre ca23a7ba76 ACM: TradHeli
Creating Stab_Collective Function to allow for different collective ranges between Stabilize and other modes.
This makes for a smoother collective action in Stabilize mode with manual throttle, while still allowing full collective travel in Acro and other modes.

2012-11-26 19:03:28 -05:00
Robert Lefebvre 311d190494 ACM: TradHeli
Removing Angle Boost function.
Does not make sense for helis due to aerodynamics.  Can cause more problems than it solves.
2012-11-26 18:58:21 -05:00
Robert Lefebvre 6056d4fb7b ACM: TradHeli
Remove Rate I-term reset when throttle stick is on the bottom.  This could be very bad for helis since it's plausible to use full downstick while flying.
There is obviously a risk here of building up a false I-term on the ground but this isn't a good solution for that anyway.
Also removed what appears to be some deadwood.
