rmackay9 42406c827a ArduCopter: added NUM_IMU_SAMPLES_FOR_XYZHZ definitions for MPU6000 and Oilpan to allow more syncing of the mainloop with the arrival of data from the IMU. 2012-09-10 11:37:48 +09:00
rmackay9 6ea5c21f7c AP_ADC: added num_samples_available to allow main loop to be synced with arrival of new sensor data for Oilpan. 2012-09-10 11:37:43 +09:00
rmackay9 fc4ff007e6 AP_IMU: added num_samples_available to allow main loop timing to be synced with arrival of new data from IMU. 2012-09-10 11:37:38 +09:00
rmackay9 0a6219695b AP_InertialSensor: changed read of sensor from MPU6000 to happen immediately
This reduces the delay between when data arrives and when it is used
by up to 1ms.

Added num_samples_available method to all InertialSensors to allow
main loop timing to be synced with sensors.

Andrew Tridgell cb88681914 APM: added support for MAV_CMD_PREFLIGHT_REBOOT_SHUTDOWN

Andrew Tridgell e2779523ea APM: fixed fetch of relative altitude waypoints
when we fetch relative altitude waypoints from APM to a file, we need
to preserve the altitude

Craig Elder 90b74f5bab APM_RC: fixed noisy PWM output on startup for APM2
This reduces the number of rubbish pulses on the APM2 PWM output pins
on startup, which should help with booting some cheaper ESCs.

Thanks to Randy for the idea!

rmackay9 5d3ddf1fc9 ArduCopter: bug fix for ROI not working if user did not have a camera mount

Andrew Tridgell feb3fe77ce APM: simplify radio_trim code
this removes the duplicate code. Throttle trim is not changed.

Andrew Tridgell 5c3595e0dc APM: fixed throttle nudging
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

Andrew Tridgell 3b97339104 RC_Channel: simplified RC_Channel_aux and fixed issue 725
it is perfectly valid to configure two RC channels with the same
function, especially when that function is manual output (ie. copy
input to output)

This removes the g_rc_function[] indirection array

2012-09-08 11:37:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell de28cc8b28 AHRS: added AHRS_WIND_MAX option

this sets a pin for flight termination
2012-09-08 10:07:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 164c60d25f APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling

Andrew Tridgell f97104b435 ACM: use compass.accumulate() in ArduCopter
this gives us a much less noisy magnetometer
2012-09-08 10:06:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 68705fe7e6 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.
2012-09-08 10:05:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6922dcdea2 Compass: added compass.accumulate() API
this allows us to accumulate mag readings using spare CPU cycles

rmackay9 5073e56c06 ArduCopter: upgraded firmware version to 2.7.3 2012-09-02 12:58:16 +09:00
rmackay9 c9d34c1737 ArduCopter: fixes to allow AP_Mount to work on APM1 with original default channels and fix to reenable support for 3-axis gimbals on APM2.
Channels 5 to 11 changed to RC_Channel_aux.
Removed channel 9 because APM_RC doesn't support it in any case.
Updated EEPROM format version to 119 because of the change to RC_Channel_aux and because k_param_rc_11 moved to be after k_param_rc_10.
