Andrew Tridgell ec70e87495 AnalogSource: prevent a division by zero on zero ADC data 2012-07-06 19:59:18 +10:00
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

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.

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.

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

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 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!)

on some chips

Andrew Tridgell e0685f4408 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable

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.

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

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

Andrew Tridgell b5aa821071 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro()

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.

Andrew Tridgell e531061caa AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.

Andrew Tridgell 8600ad8d7f AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm
we need to work out why Craigs quad flipped today before we enable
this new drift correction
