Jason Short 98237a0e00 Added Oilpan INS group object param 2012-07-18 23:07:50 -07:00
Jason Short e574f3c8cf Arduplane: Fixed unsigned int comparison warning 2012-07-18 23:07:34 -07:00
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.

Andrew Tridgell 6639294c72 APM: update for new barometer interface 
the barometer can now calibrate and return altitude values.

A 0.3 low pass filter is used on altitude to match the previous code

Pat Hickey 5766afa6c8 ArduPlane: Increment format number in Parameters.h 
* Force all users to reconfigure to take advantage of elevon patch
  ( 669e6867 )
 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.

Michael Oborne c307b69515 increase resolution on params 0.1 > 0.01 2012-05-24 06:22:57 +08:00
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
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
 2012-05-23 17:33:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 66544a5db2 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs 
we no longer do page based erase, so printing a + every 128 pages
makes no sense
 2012-05-22 20:10:29 -07:00
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.
 2012-05-22 20:02:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e01bc3593 MAVlink: update ArduPlane for param fetch during DataFlash erase

Michael Oborne 218e70cd8b AP - fix attitude level hil mavlink 1.0 issue 2012-05-06 11:05:35 +08:00
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.
 2012-05-04 10:39:44 +10:00

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
 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
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.
 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
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
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
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
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 86cc7a5e1d APM: enable AP_Declination by default 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00

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
 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 0248b48d30 allow MAG_ENABLE to be changed in flight 
this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
flight. Without this we would use a fixed yaw once the compass is
disabled

This also makes sure we don't pass the compass to DCM till we have
done a read. This ensures we have a good compass fix for the initial
DCM heading

Andrew Tridgell c14097ffa1 APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor 
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.

This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.

Andrew Tridgell c662140a2b APM: report the nav_bearing as hold_course when enabled

Andrew Tridgell 330ff5dc8b APM: added some comments related to hold_course 
hold_course is either -1 (for disabled) or a course to hold for
takeoff/landing. This makes the code a bit clearer.

It also resets hold_course in all non-auto modes, to ensure it isn't
used

Andrew Tridgell 11835508a7 when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM 
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.

This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.

This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'

Fixes compatibility for APM2.  Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code:  We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos.  These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere).  Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs.  The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.

Doug Weibel e22a83eec0 Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets 
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI.  Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer.  If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values.  I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

Doug Weibel 9846822748 Bug fix for compass. 
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start.  This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets.  Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug?  The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix.  This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge. 

If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all.  Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large.  Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.

To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm.  Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples.  The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.
