Plane: improved RC failsafe handling
...
this forces all primary control inputs to the trim value on loss of RC
input, and reduces the timeout for loss of RC input to 1 second from 2
2014-03-08 16:20:54 +11:00
2cf98e476c
Plane: added support for a separate steering channel
...
good for ground steering on larger aircraft
2014-03-05 12:57:50 +11:00
0d6064034a
Plane: use percent_input() for flaps
2014-03-05 09:17:50 +11:00
ae9201342a
Plane: allow FLAP_IN_CHANNEL to control k_flap and k_flap_auto too
2014-02-06 14:09:49 +11:00
c3b7e76c28
Plane: added flaperon support
...
this adds FLAPERON_OUTPUT and FLAP_IN_CHANNEL to allow both manual
and auto flap control for both normal flaps and flaperons

17c9cedac1
Plane: send out HIL servo updates as soon as we can
...
this improves the servo responsiveness of HIL a lot
2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
56f574684d
Plane: fixed throttle failsafe with reversed throttle
2013-11-17 15:32:53 +11:00
231b5ab793
Plane: prevent too large combined pitch/roll angles
...
this reduces the roll limit by cos(pitch) and pitch minimum by
cos(roll). This prevents unreasonable attitudes in all stabilised
modes

2013-11-04 21:21:42 +11:00
035ac3800a
Plane: use G_Dt for acro angle integration
...
also cleanup some other uses of performance timing
2013-10-12 13:30:27 +11:00
536fbb4a30
Plane: if pilot gives aileron input then disable ground steering
...
otherwise it would be very tricky to do a low pass!
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
d32e58db84
Plane: split out the channel stick mixing
...
makes code a bit clearer
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
3be939eb03
Plane: give manual steering when still
...
useful for servo testing
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
d275f50539
Plane: added GROUND_STEER_ALT and GROUND_STEER_DPS
...
this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes
2013-10-05 07:46:27 +10:00
081510d37a
Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter
...
this enables/disables the attitude locking in acro mode, allowing acro
to be a pure rate controller
2013-10-05 07:45:12 +10:00
996eda0080
Plane: Report MAV_STATE_ACTIVE if flying, MAV_STATE_STANDBY otherwise
...
(There are also various error states MAV_STATE_CRITICAL that are unchanged
by this check in).
The is_flying() check is similar to the code in suppress_throttle, but
I wanted to make it very optimistic on thinking we are flying - which is
not what you want for set_throttle...
(AC has similar MAV_STATE_ACTIVE vs MAV_STATE_STANDBY behavior now)
2013-09-21 21:57:07 +10:00
e455ee0a94
Plane: fixed throttle suppression for AUTO_FBW_STEER=1
2013-09-20 17:20:06 +10:00
1869cd52e1
Plane: fixed AUTO_FBW_STEER stick mixing
2013-09-20 17:20:06 +10:00
328e900364
Plane: changed TKOFF_THR_DELAY default to 2
...
this makes it safer for hand launch with pusher props
2013-09-19 21:42:21 +10:00
43cf0736a3
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.

...
RC_Channel norm_input() does not take account of the dead zone
2013-07-12 17:54:51 +10:00
fc67f51901
Plane: added ACRO_ROLL_RATE and ACRO_PITCH_RATE parameters

2013-07-05 18:05:27 +10:00
d30dd7c3f1
Plane: only run TECS when in an auto-throttle mode
...
this prevents integrator buildup in user controlled modes
2013-07-05 14:55:22 +10:00

...
this structure can be passed to libraries to give them easy access to
critical user parameters

launching for X-8 flight
2013-07-04 16:56:57 +10:00
