Tom Pittenger 6746b4227a Plane: handle large negative baro offsets (corner case) to self-trigger a land-abort go-around
new param: LAND_ABORT_DEG
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is higher than the intended slope path. Steeper slopes can result in crashes so this allows the option to remember the baro offset and self-abort the landing and come around for a another landing with the correct baro offset applied for a perfect slope. An auto-abort go-around will only happen once, next attempt will not auto-abort again. This operation happens entirely automatically in AUTO mode. This value is the delta degrees threshold to trigger the go-around. Example: if set to 5 deg and the mission planned slope is 15 deg then if the new slope is 21 then it will go-around. Set to 0 to disable. Requires LAND_SLOPE_RCALC > 0.

Tom Pittenger 034cd2413e Plane: re-calc landing glide slope to gracefully handle baro offset during long flights
New param: LAND_SLOPE_RCALC
@Description: This parameter is used when using a rangefinder during landing for altitude correction from baro drift (RNGFND_LANDING=1) and the altitude correction indicates your altitude is lower than the intended slope path. This value is the threshold of the correction to re-calculate the landing approach slope. Set to zero to keep the original slope all the way down and any detected baro drift will be corrected by pitching/throttling up to snap back to resume the original slope path. Otherwise, when a rangefinder altitude correction exceeds this threshold it will trigger a slope re-calculate to give a shallower slope. This also smoothes out the approach when flying over objects such as trees. Recommend a value of 2m.

default value is 2 (so, enabled by default)

Tom Pittenger 2ba9a04bf5 Plane: smooth-out the end of takeoff pitch by reducing takeoff pitch min via TKOFF_PLIM_SEC
@Description: This parameter reduces the pitch minimum limit of an auto-takeoff just a few seconds before it reaches the target altitude. This reduces overshoot by allowing the flight controller to start leveling off a few seconds before reaching the target height. When set to zero, the mission pitch min is enforced all the way to and through the target altitude, otherwise the pitch min slowly reduces to zero in the final segment. This is the pitch_min, not the demand. The flight controller should still be commanding to gain altitude to finish the takeoff but with this param it is not forcing it higher than it wants to be.

Tom Pittenger 0b26a34f22 Plane: new param LAND_THEN_NEUTRL

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 20c6ffc5e3 Replace use of UARTDriver::printf_P() with UARTDriver::printf()

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.
