Andrew Tridgell 3fbb5a2d6c ADC: on channel overflow we should not zero last_ch6_micros
this happens every 64 seconds because of unused channels on the
ADC. Zeroing this creates a bad delta_t value for the DCM code.

Andrew Tridgell 63d768143d Compass: enable compass offsets for HIL compass
this makes the null_offsets algorithm have an effect for the HIL
compass that is used for SITL, which makes for easier testing of
compass calibration

Andrew Tridgell 2dcb594f4a APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.

This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.

Andrew Tridgell c6b6320b43 APM: report the nav_bearing as hold_course when enabled
this gives a more accurate view of the navigation code, as when
hold_course is not -1 it overrides nav_bearing
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 252a2d0c9b APM: added some comments related to hold_course
hold_course is either -1 (for disabled) or a course to hold for
takeoff/landing. This makes the code a bit clearer.

It also resets hold_course in all non-auto modes, to ensure it isn't
used

Andrew Tridgell a4663c4b20 autotest: increase the rudder gain

Andrew Tridgell c39914e734 DCM: added a SITL_debug() for DCM normalisation errors
I have seen normalisation errors during simulation runs, but have not
yet tracked down the cause. This log message may help track things
down.
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7355f5613c added SITL_debug() macro
this can be used to print a message into the logs in the SITL
simulator. This will be used for critical conditions.

Andrew Tridgell c93dedc955 when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.

This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.

This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'

Andrew Tridgell 3907cf81f8 Mavlink: report the corrected pitch via MAVLink
this subtracts the TRIM_PITCH_CD from the pitch reported via
MAVLink. That gives a better indication of the true pitch in the tlog

Andrew Tridgell c6f3f7065c APM: the CLI fits nicely on the 1280 again now
