Andrew Tridgell 3745dfd59f ACM: use g.rc_speed for all APM_RC.SetFastOutputChannels calls 2012-03-02 17:57:08 +11:00
Robert Lefebvre c84d864cd6 Rescale TradHeli roll_out and pitch_out into the min and max ranges to provide linear motion across the input range instead of stopping when the input hits the constrain value. These calculations are based on an assumption of the user specified roll_max and pitch_max coming into this equation at 4500 or less, and based on the original assumption of the total g.heli_servo_x.servo_out range being -4500 to 4500.

Randy Mackay b55db247ca TradHeli - fixed small parameter bug affecting helis. The servo parameters were declared as GSCALAR instead of GGROUP in Parameters.pde.
also renamed heli parameters from _coll_ to the more descriptive _collective_

Randy Mackay bde1ebb56e TradHeli - tiny fix for yaw_offset. Yaw_offset is used to proactively counteract rotational force caused by changing the collective pitch (i.e. rapidly climbing or decending). There was a small bug for when the collective pitch is negative (i.e. powered decent) in which case the offset was in the incorrect direction. 2012-02-05 11:04:38 +09:00
Randy Mackay cff6799d18 TradHeli - fix to servo limits. They had been unnecessarily limited to the collective pitch's min and max but actually there are cases (for example when the swash is leaning over 45degrees) where one servo goes well beyond the collective pitch's min or max. 2012-01-29 21:14:37 +09:00
Pat Hickey 70825e0e1c ArduCopter Heli: add motors_output_enable function 2012-01-25 22:41:09 -08:00
Pat Hickey d015e0d6d9 APM_RC & ArduCopter: Change interface to SetFastOutputChannels to use _BV
* Every use of MSK_CH_n changed to _BV(CH_n)
* Easier to read, and will allow CH_n to be parameterized without needing
  a separate macro expansion for the MSK value.

Randy Mackay ee8986c463 TradHeli - fixed roll/pitch so it's not scaled when throttle is scaled 2011-12-08 21:30:47 +09:00
Pat Hickey 5c13aa33be Arducopter: each motors_ pde uses APM_RC.SetFastOutputChannels 2011-11-25 20:00:18 -08:00
Randy Mackay 7ac04af03d ArduCopter Alt Hold - Change to not run get_nav_throttle if manually adjusting altitude with manual_boost - removes possibility of I term running up
Tuning - added ability to modify altitude (position, not rate) controller
TradHeli - Fairly large change to how throttle is scaled and collective moves.

Randy Mackay 4baa2fd133 TradHeli - automatically reinitialise swash plate if HSV_MAN is switched from 1 to 0.
Turn-off feed forward correction to yaw based on collect when in HIL mode.

Randy Mackay d804b28638 TradHeli - reversed the direction of "phase angle" to make it more intuitive. This parameter is used to correct for a heli's tendency to lean left or right when the pilot gives it a pitch forward command. 2011-11-13 22:40:46 +09:00
Randy Mackay 2acc1fbd9d TradHeli - added two parameters to improve heli control.
heli_phase_angle allows pilot roll/pitch command to be translated into mixed roll and pitch.
heli_coll_yaw_effect mixes some collective into the yaw so tail can counter act collective movements more easily.

unknown 4fcf11cf6e TradHeli - new parameter HSV_MAN to allow better set-up from APMissionPlanner. Also changed swash movement to use radio_out which fixes some setup bugs 2011-11-12 23:23:07 +09:00
unknown 3df9a03e02 TradHeli - fix to allow tail servo to be reversed. Also increase max movement of tail servo to 45 degrees. 2011-11-05 12:31:30 +08:00
unknown 8dc5683dff TradHeli - added throttle scaling and heli specific angle_boost function that takes into account that heli's main blades can have -ve pitch. 2011-10-29 17:27:43 +09:00
Jason Short 23c0bb9814 Updates to guided mode from Michael O.
removed or commented unused static vars
2011-10-15 13:09:04 -07:00
rmackay9 0e8a648043 TradHeli - added servo averaging to allow support of analog servos
- moved heli parameters to 80 because they were causing flight modes to overlap with waypoints
2011-09-25 16:51:25 +09:00
rmackay9 3e19c219e3 TradHeli - fix to set motor_auto_armed = true if throttle > 0. Required to let ALT_HOLD work! 2011-09-25 12:30:37 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell be8864f424 renamed top level directories
ArduCopterMega -> ArduCopter
added archives directory for old code
