Evan Slatyer c4093b159f ArduPlane failsafes: remove rc_override_active
- rc_override_active is never set anywhere in the ArduPlane code; it's only used for Copter and Rover. Removing it significantly simplifies the failsafe code.
- modified code has been tested in SITL. Heartbeat and RC failures in AUTO, CRUISE, and RTL modes (covering the three cases in the failsafe check functions) have been simulated with FS_LONG_ACTN = 0, 1, and 2, FS_SHORT_ACTN = 0, 1, and 2, and FS_GCS_ENABL = 0, 1, and 2. In all cases the results are identical to those with the original code.

Andrew Tridgell c8060cb9f7 Plane: use load factor to limit nav_roll_cd
this calculates the aerodymanic load factor from smoothed airspeed and
uses it to limit roll to keep it below the level where the load factor
would take us past the aerodymanic limit of the airframe

Andrew Tridgell 913004beb0 Plane: added OVERRIDE_CHAN parameter
this allows both for testing PX4IO override on the ground, and for
forced manual override while flying, including re-arming after in-air
reboot

Andrew Tridgell 71d786187e Plane: make auto takeoff independent of compass
this solves a problem of poor initial yaw due to poor compass offsets
causing a takeoff to not be in the direction the plane is pointing. A
summed gyro is used until the GPS speed is above 5m/s for 2 seconds,
then the GPS heading corrected by the summed gyro error is used for L1
based navigation for the rest of the takeoff

Andrew Tridgell 186806c768 Plane: lowpass the rangefinder correction, not height
this should produce less lag as the rangefinder correction should be
changing much less
2014-08-27 18:25:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a6ee46086c Plane: allow continued use of rangefinder data for 5s after loss of contact
this allows short outages to be ridden out
2014-08-27 17:14:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b6319a9d19 Plane: keep an estimate of the rangefinder altitude
only accept data when we have had 10 samples in a row in range at 50Hz

Andrew Tridgell d54bb68270 Plane: prevent cross-track on some WP types
when finishing a takeoff or when a user forces a WP change don't do
any cross-tracking. This avoids a problem where the plane tries to
line up with a track completely unrelated to the track currently being
flown

Andrew Tridgell 09a679368b Plane: use bitfields in auto_state 2014-08-04 21:02:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8610d9a8ea Plane: added GLIDE_SLOPE_MIN parameter
this is used to prevent slow glide slopes being used for small
altitude changes in missions. This allows more accurate tracking of
altitude with terrain changes
2014-08-04 21:02:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b64ab07ca4 Plane: added STAB_PITCH_DN_CD parameter
this adds some down trim when at throttle levels below the trim
throttle in FBWA mode.

defaults to 200 centi-degrees. I may adjust based on flight tests
