Andrew Tridgell a1107602e9 APM: allow for separate calibration of airspeed/barometer
this is useful just before takeoff, to account for temperature changes
2012-08-15 19:49:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell efee2b1557 APM: added LAND_FLARE_ALT and LAND_FLARE_SEC
these allow you to configure the altitude and time before touchdown to
flare the plane and lock the heading. Useful on larger planes.

Andrew Tridgell 455e088c9f APM: rename RDRSTEER to WHEELSTEER
thanks to Jon for the suggestion
2012-08-15 16:28:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c652538516 APM: use AHRS position for geo-fence
this allows it to take account of dead-reckoning
2012-08-15 14:31:10 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20be77ab32 APM: when land_complete is true, use land_pitch
this gives a flare on final landing
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b8521ff9ae APM: reload airspeed and throttle after landing
this allows for restarting a mission after landing with reasonable
airspeed values
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f4023d1b44 AP_Airspeed: remove airspeed filter and run at 10Hz
this saves on the filter memory, and gives just as good a result
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4b5d98e65b APM: added RDRSTEER_ PID for steering on ground
this allows for rolling takeoff with steering, and use of rudder in
landing
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ce5f3dcfe2 APM: report speed changes via MAVLink 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1b152ef9e0 APM: implement FENCE_ACTION_REPORT
when FENCE_ACTION is set to FENCE_ACTION_REPORT a fence breach is
reported, but the flight mode is not changed
2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8c3b6f471f APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message
this will be used for failsafe processing
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b54ab2d72a APM: expose change_command() and geofence_breached() to libraries
this makes a failsafe library easier
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd17302def APM: show waypoint number in jump message 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c525b6b997 APM: minor formatting fix 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f45f232f APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure

Andrew Tridgell 98015636d9 APM: interpret zero lat/lng as being current location
this makes it easy to have a "loiter in current position" mission
element
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 98d5a49717 APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 35c88dd418 INS: disable INS AP_Param table when not on APM1 hardware
this could cause overwriting of memory with default values
2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3b9623a44c Mavlink: log wind estimation result 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9d9c7b0455 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available
2012-08-11 12:01:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell aa839c3f46 APM: pass airspeed sensor to AHRS 2012-08-11 08:57:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9bdf204e35 APM: support the MISSION_WRITE_PARTIAL_LIST command
this allows missions to be partially updated in flight
2012-08-09 17:13:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a7399c405d MAVLink: removed the need for Mavlink_compat.h
we have now fully transitioned to MAVLink 1.0, so we no longer need
the compatibility layer and the old names in the code
2012-08-09 12:22:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 16d63978f1 MAVLink: moved mavlink variables back to library
these were moved to the main sketches to allow for compile time
selection of MAVLink 0.9 vs 1.0. We no longer support 0.9, so we can
move it back, which simplifies some test sketches
2012-08-09 12:06:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4c77cbcd0b APM: Added RST_MISSION_CH option
this allows a pilot to reset the mission using a transmitter
switch. Very useful for repeating a mission during testing
2012-08-09 10:33:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 54f97bb9e7 APM: removed THROTTLE_REVERSE option
Better to use RC3_REV
2012-08-09 10:04:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6e46db39a1 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option
this replaces the compile time option. Disabling during long distance
flights when the transmitter may be out of range is useful.

Amilcar Lucas 9a8fd4738e Add an optional second mount to ArduPlane and ArduCopter 2012-08-08 23:22:24 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell f33d15ab80 APM: removed pointless load() call 2012-08-08 16:51:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5e19c0cf04 AP_Airspeed: removed values passed to constructor 2012-08-08 16:38:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7d9e4a7559 APM: fixed default flap speed
the default of 255 translates to -1 as a AP_Int8, so use zero to mean
no flaps
2012-08-08 13:04:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 67f076a9db APM: change variables to use _cm, _cd and _ms suffix for units
this makes it less likely that we mix up units
2012-08-08 12:12:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b366205172 APM: removed cli slider and dipswitch options
use mavlink/eeprom for all config
2012-08-08 12:12:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f98b887dbe AP_Param: update ArduPlane core for new AP_Param interface 2012-08-08 12:11:57 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger e97305ea6e APM: fixed rounding of altitude
the cast was rounding to the nearest meter
2012-08-08 12:07:35 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas 03b902d4b7 Add me :) 2012-08-06 00:40:12 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas fe4713b46e RC_Channel: Allow each channel to know who they are, this simplifies the enabling and output function calls. 2012-08-05 23:08:31 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas f3f89004e9 More work on ch9, 10 and 11 2012-08-04 19:44:41 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 4be8073328 Implement set ROI 2012-08-04 18:44:29 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 9b31938519 The mount type must be updated periodically 2012-08-04 18:44:08 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 431ed1c9b9 More flexible RC support 2012-08-04 18:39:20 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 813e3ad229 Enable camera triggering by default 2012-08-04 16:32:47 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 8f836b2fd6 ATmega1280 does not have enough memory for mount support so disable AUTO GPS support, to allow mount support to fit.
This should almost have no side effects, because the most users use MTK anyways.
If the user defined a GPS protocol, than we will NOT overwrite it

Andrew Tridgell 526344ab7c APM: added control switch debouncer
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

rmackay9 95522fb8a3 ArduPlane: bug fix to global var_info parameter list for ahrs object. 2012-08-01 10:52:34 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 24ba59f528 APM: fixed overflow in geofence code for altitudes above 327 meters 2012-07-31 15:46:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cc9712860b APM: fixed case of 'LAND_PITCH_CD'
mavlink parameters are uppercase by convention
2012-07-29 17:07:38 +10:00
rmackay9 717d0d25d4 ArduPlane: allow MPU6000's DMP to be used for attitude estimation.
Enable by adding this line to APM_Config.h:
#define DMP_ENABLED ENABLED
