Jason Short e261c62e6b Inertial Nav disabled by default 2012-06-13 22:37:52 -07:00
Jason Short 6dc1e02f76 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.
2012-06-13 22:34:45 -07:00

rmackay9 df3fb5c041 ArduCopter: fixed print_latlon bug in which it would print negative lat/lon numbers incorrectly (i.e. -1234567890 would be printed as -124.xxx). 2012-06-02 12:51:12 +09:00
Jason Short 477aa6e47a RC_Channel fix for throttle output.
throttle was outputting incorrectly and allowing the user to max out the throttle leaving nothing for attitude control

Robert Lefebvre 3df1aac936 Change to increase Parameter space as we have run out.
This will decrease the max number of waypoints from 186
to 169.

Jason Short 5b31f3ba27 moved detector to run until the throttle is low, then stop running. 2012-05-30 09:44:59 -07:00
Jason Short 42032f9845 Missed a Semicolon 2012-05-30 09:36:16 -07:00
Jason Short e6ee50f53d Altered the ground detector logic to no continuously run when landed 2012-05-30 09:34:31 -07:00
Jason Short c45209eaff Broken timer - removed 2012-05-29 12:56:38 -07:00
Jason Short 93d7712c9a Removed unused variable 2012-05-29 12:43:23 -07:00

Jason Short c523a9822b Failsafe: Looking for takeoff_complete now vs unreliable GPS 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 394f8c6eb0 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short a3a90287f4 changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

Jason Short 996cfc5c96 changed WP radius to AP_Int16 2012-05-28 22:39:29 -07:00
Jason Short 4ed48510dc reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -07:00
Jason Short e2086decc6 Arducopter.pde : setting rtl_approach_alt above 1 would force auto landing even if auto-landing was disabled. 2012-05-23 22:00:56 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fc8347af3 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair

Andrew Tridgell 5b5d43f5d0 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs
we no longer do page based erase, so printing a + every 128 pages
makes no sense
