Andrew Tridgell 52064772ee APM: report speed changes via MAVLink 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 817017658d APM: implement FENCE_ACTION_REPORT 
when FENCE_ACTION is set to FENCE_ACTION_REPORT a fence breach is
reported, but the flight mode is not changed
 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8cb55eb75a APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message 
this will be used for failsafe processing
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0584017aff APM: expose change_command() and geofence_breached() to libraries 
this makes a failsafe library easier
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ff6301fb46 APM: show waypoint number in jump message 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 92bdc23ab6 APM: minor formatting fix 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2865434d02 APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane 
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5631b90222 APM: interpret zero lat/lng as being current location 
this makes it easy to have a "loiter in current position" mission
element
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f1d5645b APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS 
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bdc7d41be INS: disable INS AP_Param table when not on APM1 hardware 
this could cause overwriting of memory with default values
 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c31eef59ae Mavlink: log wind estimation result 2012-08-11 22:06:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d9b09d2c93 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning 
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available
 2012-08-11 12:01:08 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9fea3e3ac1 APM: pass airspeed sensor to AHRS 2012-08-11 08:57:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0ffc89d512 APM: support the MISSION_WRITE_PARTIAL_LIST command 
this allows missions to be partially updated in flight
 2012-08-09 17:13:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dc47074dbd MAVLink: removed the need for Mavlink_compat.h 
we have now fully transitioned to MAVLink 1.0, so we no longer need
the compatibility layer and the old names in the code
 2012-08-09 12:22:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a7b298bbc MAVLink: moved mavlink variables back to library 
these were moved to the main sketches to allow for compile time
selection of MAVLink 0.9 vs 1.0. We no longer support 0.9, so we can
move it back, which simplifies some test sketches
 2012-08-09 12:06:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5498d347f3 APM: Added RST_MISSION_CH option 
this allows a pilot to reset the mission using a transmitter
switch. Very useful for repeating a mission during testing
 2012-08-09 10:33:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e2c8ec2c9e APM: removed THROTTLE_REVERSE option 
Better to use RC3_REV
 2012-08-09 10:04:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e133900c68 APM: Added STICK_MIXING option 
this replaces the compile time option. Disabling during long distance
flights when the transmitter may be out of range is useful.
 2012-08-09 08:53:29 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas d34549f386 Add an optional second mount to ArduPlane and ArduCopter 2012-08-08 23:22:24 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell dc99586981 APM: removed pointless load() call 2012-08-08 16:51:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dcc50b5705 AP_Airspeed: removed values passed to constructor 2012-08-08 16:38:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2114acddf1 APM: fixed default flap speed 
the default of 255 translates to -1 as a AP_Int8, so use zero to mean
no flaps
 2012-08-08 13:04:21 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bfd1200d6 APM: change variables to use _cm, _cd and _ms suffix for units 
this makes it less likely that we mix up units
 2012-08-08 12:12:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a823c9ceae APM: removed cli slider and dipswitch options 
use mavlink/eeprom for all config
 2012-08-08 12:12:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 12cd6b68ff AP_Param: update ArduPlane core for new AP_Param interface 2012-08-08 12:11:57 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger 7815e3d810 APM: fixed rounding of altitude 
the cast was rounding to the nearest meter
 2012-08-08 12:07:35 +10:00

Amilcar Lucas b8c7b8a786 RC_Channel: Allow each channel to know who they are, this simplifies the enabling and output function calls. 2012-08-05 23:08:31 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 9c1ac2d9e6 More work on ch9, 10 and 11 2012-08-04 19:44:41 +02:00

Amilcar Lucas 4ba847c449 The mount type must be updated periodically 2012-08-04 18:44:08 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas bbc4bdb729 More flexible RC support 2012-08-04 18:39:20 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 50b5d33745 Enable camera triggering by default 2012-08-04 16:32:47 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 82b82283be ATmega1280 does not have enough memory for mount support so disable AUTO GPS support, to allow mount support to fit. 
This should almost have no side effects, because the most users use MTK anyways.
If the user defined a GPS protocol, than we will NOT overwrite it
 2012-08-04 16:32:20 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell 301ab00c5b APM: added control switch debouncer 
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

Andrew Tridgell 9eb05a2e1a APM: update version for 2.50 release 2012-07-26 11:36:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6bcfe913f7 APM: added a SCALING_SPEED parameter 
this allows users to adjust the base speed used for scaling roll/pitch
PIDs. This can be used to make PIDs work for both airspeed and
non-airspeed control
 2012-07-26 11:30:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3c2fc72654 APM: fixed HIL build 2012-07-26 10:09:07 +10:00

the SET_ROI commands are not supported yet
 2012-07-26 10:03:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e697e4abd APM: switch back to old nav_roll calculation 
the old nav_roll will be used for the 2.50 release to prevent the need
for re-tuning. For the release after that we will use the new
calculation
 2012-07-26 10:03:36 +10:00
Michael Oborne 39ad8b5eec AP fix sitl hil attitude mode. 2012-07-24 07:18:25 +08:00
Andrew Tridgell 9e72d4c3f4 APM: fixed a problem with wayoints completing early 
when a user forces a waypoint jump, we may need to reset prev_WP to
prevent us thinking the waypoint is complete before we have started
 2012-07-21 20:32:07 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 85465c9126 MAVLink: fixed another two places where micros() was used for a millisecond time 2012-07-20 11:57:15 +10:00

Jeff Taylor d02655ac56 APM: Fixed bug where landing_pitch wasnt initialized properly 
this adds a new LAND_PITCH_CD parameter to control the landing pitch
when an airspeed sensor is not being used
 2012-07-19 13:59:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d6e370886f APM: rename airspeed_cruise to airspeed_cruise_cm to make the units clearer 
it is in cm/s, not m/s
 2012-07-19 11:50:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1cf5057c61 APM: Use g.airspeed_cruise for turn rate calculation if the airspeed sensor is disabled. 
This gives our best approximation for auto flight
 2012-07-19 11:50:41 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger c7da63509b APM: Removed unused YAW_DAMPENER code. 
YAW_DAMPENER was defined as zero
 2012-07-19 11:50:21 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger d9d055ef78 APM: Removed incorrect nav_gain_scaler from nav_roll calculation. 
nav_gain_scaler was originally added due to a perceived improvement in
loiter performance, but is incorrect for navigation. Turn rate is a
function of airspeed and bank angle, ground speed has no effect on
that.

this simplifies the code a lot. We're not going back to 1.0
 2012-07-05 13:00:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fb66899414 APM: changed test for having completed a waypoint 
the new test is that we have passed a "finish line" perpendicular to
the track between the last waypoint and the current waypoint.

The previous tests are also still used, so if we circle a waypoint or
get within the waypoint radius we also consider it completed

Andrew Tridgell 99b11e4f19 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.

 2012-05-28 20:51:12 -07:00
Pat Hickey 1c00d1ffe3 ArduPlane: Fix effect of ELEVON_REVERSE 
* Previously, the ELEVON_REVERSE parameter was equivelant in function to the
  ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE parameter. These parameter values are found in
  g.reverse_elevons and g.reverse_ch1_elevon, and used to map to the radio_out
  channels in ArduPlane/Attitude.pde
* It seems the author's intent was for ELEVON_REVERSE to change the sign for
  the combination of pitch & roll into ch1 & ch2, as there are already
  parameters which change just the sign of ch1 and just the sign of ch2.
* Discovered this bug because I happened to build an elevon airframe which was
  not possible to setup with the existing ELEVON_ and RCn_REV parameters.
* This will break existing elevon setups if the user used ELEVON_REVERSE
  instead of ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE, since they were previously interchangable.

Andrew Tridgell d9457ecc38 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately 
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got

aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair

Andrew Tridgell b3aa704c49 AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE 
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

Andrew Tridgell f43f5900bc Telemetry: make it possible to use UART2 on APM2 
building with TELEMETRY_UART2=ENABLED allows you to use the solder
bridge on the APM2 to enable telemetry on UART2. This allows both USB
telemetry and a radio at the same time.

Andrew Tridgell 8fab91e063 APM-nav: set NAV I value defaults to 0.1 
a small I value is good on most planes, so I think this is a better
default than 0. Thanks to Chris for asking about this.

Andrew Tridgell e1270401bf MAVLink: make parameter send use adaptive stream rate 
this makes it possible to fetch parameters with very low air data
rates

Andrew Tridgell 7b50724f60 MAVLink: allow for find grained stream rate control 
streams can now be requested at any multiple of 20ms. So if you ask
for a stream at 7Hz then you will get it at close to 7Hz.

Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information 
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.

This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

Andrew Tridgell 87ed39ea46 APM: use set_blocking_writes(false) when we have done ground start 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes 
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient

As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile

Andrew Tridgell 4c4c38f69a APM: Added MANUAL_LEVEL option 
when MANUAL_LEVEL is set to 1, we don't do accelerometer levelling at
startup, and instead used the values saved in the EEPROM. This makes
it easier to do levelling on the bench, or once for a series of
flights for the day
