this generalises the gcs object usage
2013-11-23 19:29:22 +11:00
490a061c6f
Plane: added HIL_ERR_LIMIT
...
this allows DCM to recover if HIL attitude drifts too far from true attitude
2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
5bf1463e7a
Plane: added RALLY_LIMIT_KM
...
this will prevent an embarressing use of a rally point from the wrong
airfield
2013-10-06 14:51:13 +11:00
d275f50539
Plane: added GROUND_STEER_ALT and GROUND_STEER_DPS

this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
081510d37a
Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter
...
this enables/disables the attitude locking in acro mode, allowing acro
to be a pure rate controller
2013-10-05 07:45:12 +10:00
497c95de8e
Plane: Add support for rally points.
...
Added parameter RALLY_TOTAL.
Added handlers for new MAVLink messages RALLY_POINT and
RALLY_FETCH_POINT.
defines.h modified to make room in EEPROM to store rally points.
rally.pde added and is responsible for ensuring rally points get
stored in the correct spot in EEPROM.
Multiple Rally/RTL point support now done. If rally points have
been defined, then when RTL mode is entered, the closest Rally
point is chosend and the plane loiters at that point.
Note only 10 rally points can be defined; this is to save space in
the APM's EEPROM.

2013-10-03 11:16:08 +09:00
dd6a69f588
Plane: added WP_MAX_RADIUS parameter

2013-09-13 17:43:08 +10:00
cc6acac1dd
Plane: added AUTO_FBW_STEER option
...
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics
competition where students need to pilot the plane, but they still
need waypoint triggering of payloads
2013-09-13 14:38:09 +10:00

2013-07-12 11:56:04 +10:00
fc67f51901
Plane: added ACRO_ROLL_RATE and ACRO_PITCH_RATE parameters

launching for X-8 flight
2013-07-04 16:56:57 +10:00
45f5d05bd2
Plane: enabled RELAY_* parameters
2013-06-25 12:44:26 +10:00

Plane: APM2 doesn't have channel 9 PWM output
2013-06-24 13:06:54 +10:00
93cd0f9a31
Plane: switch to new AP_Scheduler
...
this gives us more accurate task scheduling in ArduPlane, plus better
monitoring of task timing (via SCHED_DEBUG)
2013-06-04 13:34:58 +10:00
27bc0cdc2c
Plane: rename old channel_* globals
...
prevent the old "g." names from being used

...
this makes it easier to support DSM and SBUS radios
2013-06-03 16:23:48 +10:00
cd55ed45e2
Plane: removed the old roll/pitch/yaw PID controllers
...
use the new controllers, with auto parameter conversion
2013-05-31 14:06:56 +10:00
c81421e275
Plane: added MIXING_GAIN parameter
...
this allows for the full range of output on both channels, but can
saturate
2013-05-25 18:28:13 +10:00
dd633fcf3f
Plane: make voltage and battery capacity failsafe settable at runtime
...
this also fixes issue #292
2013-05-22 20:33:57 +10:00
4e2b88f6e6
Plane: added ATT_CONTROLLER option to select attitude controller
...
set to 1 for the new APM_Control library
2013-05-05 21:51:09 +10:00
de3fcbc413
Plane: removed the MANUAL_LEVEL option
...
levelling on every startup is far too error prone. This was just
another parameter that everyone changed.
2013-04-29 14:19:53 +10:00
3d7a4d0e6e
Plane: added ELEVON_OUTPUT option

Plane: removed old HDNG2RLL PID control
...
not used with L1
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
70a186464b
Plane: added LEVEL_ROLL_LIMIT parameter
...
this replaces both TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD and RUDDER_STEER, allowing users to
instead select a roll limit for takeoff and landing
2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
11eb0cfce1
Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
...
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.
Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

...
this allows for real servo output in HIL
2013-03-30 14:38:43 +11:00
7db7d7db77
Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
...
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter
This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
f077f54e6a
Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option
...
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.
2013-03-27 10:27:14 +11:00
0a385cc0ff

9697ff5d6d
Plane: Added extra parameter to specify at what speed in auto-takeoff throttle should engage
