Jason Short 37685756df Config.h:
decreased alt hold_P to .4
removed RTL_AUTO_LAND default
increased alt hold I
2012-07-03 17:37:37 -07:00
Jason Short c29a0bc3f8 Navigation
increased speed governor to get faster WP travel
added param for WP tilt - basically a precalculated I term for wind resistance.
2012-07-03 17:34:50 -07:00
Jason Short 3a3966736c Params
Added Tilt_Compensation to Params,
deprecated RTL_Land_Enabeled
RTL_Approach_alt is not int16_t, -1 means do noting. 0 means land, >1 means hover to that altitude after timeout.
2012-07-03 17:33:03 -07:00
Jason Short 8ccda519fa Arducopter.pde:
Added note about -1 to disable feature

Jason Short e31a1d969f Inertial Nav disabled by default 2012-06-13 22:37:52 -07:00
Jason Short c42f9ece43 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.
