rmackay9 960c2f08af AP_Mount: addition of Amilcar's mount_type
set_roi_cmd modified to take a Location.  I know the intention was for set_roi_cmd to interpret the MAVLink command directly but unfortunately in arduCopter missions are only made up of waypoints (which are Locations).

Jonathan Challinger 21f0ed00b3 AHRS: normalise GA_b before computing error vector only if too large
When GA_b is small the direction of the vector is unreliable, so
normalising can exacerbate the error in the direction

Andrew Tridgell 4f41b876b1 AHRS: allow the gps/accelerometers to control yaw when rolled
this solves a problem with yaw estimation when at high roll angles,
when the compass code becomes ineffective

Amilcar Lucas dea5b88379 Support up to 7 aux servo outputs 2012-07-18 21:58:22 +02:00
rmackay9 a2e6af1f9c AP_Mount: added set_manual_rc_channel and set_manual_rc_channel_function to allow input of pitch, roll and yaw controls from a regular RC_Channel (i.e. not RC_Channel_aux)
For now, angles red in are always of the range -45 deg ~ 45 deg which is consistent with the existing arducopter implementation but should be improved to scale the pilot's input to the mount's actual range.

Michael Oborne b97f9bb803 Airspeed Library - fix param names.
The Group definition give the start of the param name.
This way we can maintain multiple instances if required of the same library as options.

rmackay9 bec5321b8b AP_MotorsMatrix: small bug fix to limit checking on remove_motor call. Fix thanks to Michael Peschel! 2012-07-16 00:38:58 +09:00
rmackay9 3b9a1d4305 RC_Channel_aux: added enable_out method to help stop servos from moving before the mount has initialised.
changed parameter names of "update_aux_servo_function" to make it more clear that any 4 servos can be passed in (not just servos 5~8).
Also allowed NULL servos to be passed in as parameters because we only need 3 in ArduCopter.
2012-07-15 16:28:53 +09:00
rmackay9 e83275d8ae AP_Camera: changed "int" to "int16_t" and "long" to "int32_t" here and there. 2012-07-15 16:26:12 +09:00

Robert Lefebvre 716ce6a5a7 Change to prevent Tricopter servos from going hard-over during Disarmed state.
Believe this was an oversight when the change to AP_Motors went in.
2012-07-13 23:12:26 -04:00
Robert Lefebvre ab1212d8d2 Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input".
Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying.  This could probably become a parameter.

Andrew Tridgell 7bc724d118 APM: changed PID library to do automatic deltat calculation
this fixes a problem with the HDNG2RLL PID, which was using the wrong
time base and prevents similar bugs from happening in the future
2012-07-06 19:59:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 44755bf3ce AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging
this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 43d6015811 Filter: split the DerivativeFilter steps into update() and slope()
this allows us to apply new data at a different rate than we calculate
the slope.
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4723698489 AP_Baro: update MS5611 test to use baro library altitude 2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9845a55cb1 AHRS: make the yaw independent drift correction optional and disable
the new correction algorithm copes poorly with gyro drift, leading to
signification attitude errors in the face of drift
2012-07-06 15:11:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e33554a1f9 AHRS: only enable barometer for AHRS if it is smooth enough
if we used less than 5 samples to compute the pressure then don't use
it for climb rate

Andrew Tridgell 9d7ed30023 AHRS: only use GPS for yaw when compass is not being used
this avoids having two competing controllers

Andrew Tridgell 6653c0b874 AHRS: enable barometer for vertical velocity
this re-enables the barometer for vertical velocity information
for drift correction, now that we have a better filter
on the climb rate

Andrew Tridgell dc6d70bc15 SITL: added SIM_GPS_DELAY parameter
this allows a delay to be added to the gps data to test the impact on
AHRS/DCM
2012-07-04 21:05:22 +10:00
rmackay9 cac0757c2e AP_AHRS: removed DCM_test example sketch
No longer required because it doesn't compile and is redundant anyway because the AP_AHRS_DCM class is tested in the AHRS_Test example sketch.
2012-07-04 18:22:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 03516b7dfa AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on
accurate yaw. This means we should get accurate roll/pitch correction
even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)

Andrew Tridgell c6ff292721 DataFlash: fallback to BlockErase if ChipErase fails
The errata on the APM2 dataflash chip says that ChipErase may not work
on some chips
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 84a489498d Math: added location functions to math library
these do common calculations on struct Location
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e0685f4408 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable
this is to make it easier for Craig and Alan to tune
2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1142ec0665 AP_Mount: removed unused enum 2012-07-03 10:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f150c645c8 Mount: enable mount control via eeprom parameters
this enables MNT_* parameter control of the camera mount code. It also
fixes the conversion of calculated angles between degrees and
integers, and fixes stabilised mount control when yaw control is not
available.
2012-07-03 10:21:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7a77832f45 Baro: average over all pressure/temperature samples on MS5611
this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings

This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer
2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f7b06e0a64 Baro: fixed build of MS5611 test code 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 0341e0e5f0 SITL: added support for new analog source
removed analogRead() to prevent people using it
2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2046e396a2 AnalogSource: make the Arduino AnalogSource interrupt driven
this fixes several problems with reading analog sources:

 - we were getting poor values because we didn't wait long enough for
   an analog source to settle

 - we wasted a lot of CPU cycles waiting for conversions

 - we were not taking averages over many samples, which we did with
   the old AP_ADC driver on the APM1
2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b5aa821071 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro()
this makes it more useful for navigation controllers

Andrew Tridgell 117bae9585 SITL: added SITL class for controlling simulation
this holds mavlink settable parameters for controlling sensor noise
levels
2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37494dda2b AHRS: don't add the P terms in _omega
this can lead feedback via the _P_gain()
2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 21ae2957fb AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.

It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.
2012-06-28 11:12:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e531061caa AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.
2012-06-28 11:09:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8600ad8d7f AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm

2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ce016b5ae8 AHRS: include P term in omega
thanks to Jon for suggesting this
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0fa1f29cf3 AHRS: implement spin rate limits
this follows the method that Bill developed in his fastRotations
paper. We've demonstrated that this is indeed needed in APM, as we
were able to produce the 'dizzy' effects in both the ArduPlane and
ArduCopter simulator
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3ffecc18d8 AHRS: cope with copters with no compass
if a copter doesn't have a compass, we can't use the GPS for gyro
drift correction

Andrew Tridgell 426006d98f SITL: fixed GPS heading in simulated UBlox
longitude scale does not apply to velocity->heading conversions
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20c1baf585 SITL: changes UBlox simulation to 5Hz
this matches the real UBlox driver
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9583ae5eb Compass: remove the need to call calculate() on the compass object
the new AHRS code doesn't use calculate() and the compass.heading
attribute. Instead it works on the raw magnetometer vector. This
change removes the internal calculate state from the compass object
and instead adds calculate_heading() for use by older code that
doesn't go via AHRS.

This significantly reduces the calculation involved in compass updates

The null offsets enable/disable code is also removed, as it is not
needed now that compass offsets are not linked to the AHRS state.
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5370f9c411 AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.

The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 53e950531e Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9fd3d15026 Filter: added 5 point average float filter 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger 1ff9461bfb AHRS: brought DCM more inline with Bill's implementation
omega_I applied continuously. _ki larger. Stop integrating when _omega.length()>20

The key change was the scaling of ge to ensure the error is not
quadratic
2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 73faaddc1b AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system
This makes 3 major changes:

 1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
 constant

 2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings

 3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
 to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses

Andrew Tridgell b32726e867 GPS: need pgmspace.h for _write_progstr_block() 2012-06-15 16:27:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ae9883a8e2 GPS: fixed auto-config of UBlox setup with no UBX messages
if a UBlox is configured for NMEA only, with no UBX messages at all
then it would never trigger the GPS_AUTO detection. This adds a UBX
config message to the init strings that enables the NAV_SOL message

Andrew Tridgell ddebf7b443 GPS: fixed the UBLOX parser to handle unknown messages
the parser was broken in several ways:

 1) when it received an unknown message it didn't update the ck_a and ck_b fields, so it
    thought the message had a bad checksum, which meant it got out of protocol sync

 2) the read() method would return false if the last message from the GPS was of an unknown type. 
    So we relied on the last msg always being one that we understand and want

 3) the parser considered any valid UBLOX message to be 'new data', whereas we only actually get 
    a new fix when we get box a new position and velned message

 4) the total message size per update is more than 128 bytes, but the serial port was opened 
    with only a 128 byte buffer, so we got corruption regularly
