Plane: Auto Takeoff Check updates
...
Adds additional launch angle protection and protection against early
exit from auto causing unexpected motor start on re-entry
2013-09-19 21:37:31 +10:00
43ffe91546
Plane: added FS_ACTION of 2 for glide
...
this allows people without specified settings in their receiver for
failsafe to choose FBWA zero throttle glide on throttle failsafe. That
can be a better choice when flying at a R/C club field
2013-09-15 15:05:39 +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
f6688582a6
Plane: added FENCE_ACTION=3 behaviour
...
this makes it safer to enable the geofence as a receiver failsafe
mode. It retains manual throttle control, so if it triggers on the
ground due to the receiver losing signal from the transmitter then the
throttle can be kept low, preventing an unexpected takeoff.

eba7d6da9a
Plane: removed the old crash_timer code
...
This code is less relevent with the new L1 navigation, and could cause

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 mode gives manual control when the roll or pitch is within the

e2b8817a89
APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
...
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.
To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.
2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
fce01464b1
APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
...
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm
The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control
2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00

APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
...
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.
It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!
