rmackay9
f8210b164c ArduCopter - Parameters.h - changed initialisation order to remove compiler warning (have not changed enum values so shouldn't require eeprom format id update) 2012-04-09 17:37:06 +09:00

ad9a8acbab ArduCopter - test.pde - changed references "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of move to AP_Motors library.
Change to ESC initialisation calls to use motors.throttle_pass_through method of AP_Motors class.

1d086c83f0 ArduCopter - system.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" as part of the move to use AP_Motors library. 2012-04-04 23:03:21 +09:00

2012-04-04 23:02:29 +09:00
rmackay9
473126581d ArduCopter - radio.pde - changed motor initialisation to set update rate, frame orientation, min and max throttle to AP_Motors class.
Note: perhaps the motors speed at least should be moved to a parameter within the motors class.
output_min function greatly simplified as this is handled by the AP_Motors class.
2012-04-04 23:00:56 +09:00
rmackay9
905a445391 ArduCopter - motors.pde - changed references to "motor_armed" to "motors.armed()" because we've moved to using the AP_Motors class.
Simplified set_servos_4 function which was responsible for calling "output_motors_armed" or "output_motors_disarmed" as this determination as to whether the motors are armed or not is handled within the AP_Motors class.

rmackay9
ee308ea06c ArduCopter - increased firmware version to 118. Removed nearly all heli parameters as these are all created by the AP_MotorHeli class now.
Note: we cannot move the heli_servos to the AP_MotorHeli class yet because of a small issue in the parameters class.
2012-04-04 22:55:07 +09:00

8402a3d837 ArduCopter - Log.pde - changed MOT output to dataflash to take values from AP_Motors class's motor_out array instead of the global motor_out array. 2012-04-04 22:53:21 +09:00
rmackay9
e5710958bc ArduCopter - GCS_Mavlink.pde - changed output to ground station to use new AP_Motor's class motors array inplace of the global "motor_out" array. 2012-04-04 22:52:26 +09:00
rmackay9
aa4085183c ArduCopter - Attitude.pde - moved heli_get_angle_boost from heli.pde (which will be removed) to Attitude.pde. In fact we should combine heli_get_angle_boost and the regular get_angle_boost. 2012-04-04 22:51:39 +09:00
rmackay9
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

c0a54762c6 MAVLink: port the new adaptive flow control to ArduCopter
This allows for arbitrary stream rates, and supports flow control if
you are using a 3DR radio

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.

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

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

0bc604f030 ACM: removed FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE
we now have the EEPROM option COMPASS_AUTODEC instead
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
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
