72d76558a7 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

08bf04dd08 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

09f4a16bfb changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

5754f97433 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

7df1aa2914 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

d1cd04486a removed retro loiter code since Angel has a branch now.
shrank speed filter to avoid latency
removed unused forward estimator code

placed code for switchover to gps.groundspeed at 1.5m/s

added clamp for D term when below .5m/s to eliminate noise

added hybrid I-term based on speed error and position

changes Loiter D term to use position rather than acceleration to avoid noise

357d6c2d9b ArduCopter: bug fix for reversing tri servo
Extended AP_MotorsTri class to take in pointer to rc_tail servo (rc_7) and we use this servo's REV parameter to determine whether to reverse the output to the tail servo or not

41702aca94 ArduCopter: Updated param name from auto_land_timer to loiter_timer, because it could really be used for more routines like auto-approach. Added timer before approach (20s). 2012-04-16 10:07:57 -05:00

870b5e5f75 ArduCopter - CH6 Tuning - added AHRS_YAW_KP parameter as 30. Now you can easily set the amount that the mag is used to correct the gyro based yaw estimate in the DCM 2012-04-16 23:47:57 +09:00

a24b7bcf14 ArduCopter: Added check to g.rtl_approach_alt, which if greater than zero will initiate an approach to the target alt rather than land. 2012-04-15 16:54:43 -05:00

54a0709759 ArduCopter - add includes for new AP_Motors classes.
Remove global motor_filtered and motor_out arrays.
Removed all global heli variables.
replace "motor_armed" with "motors.armed()"
removed output to rc_4 for tri because this is now handled by AP_MotorsTri class

75d7308fb4 ArduCopter - CH6 tuning - changed Roll/Pitch Rate D tuning to use the user supplied tuning range instead of the range / 100.
also changed heli_ext_gyro_gain to make it use the tuning range directly.

Adam M Rivera
51b70e4d36 ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM. By default the declination will only be set by the automatic declination routine if the user has not saved a declination to the EEPROM. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00
