simplified Yaw reset
2012-07-19 17:38:25 -07:00
Jason Short bc843b0684 Arducopter: Adjust landing speed
removed commented out calc_loiter_pitch_roll calls
Changed updateRTL to use 1m be default instead of wp_radius to avoid poor loiter entry speed.

Jason Short 1595a662c0 Arducopter
removed old Var

Jason Short f40d8f04af Arducopter: New Alt control code
Uses a new method to manage altitude changes. Alt hold controller was split into a hold and a rate controller just like navigation. Changing alt is done by specifying a climb rate.
Interactive alt hold is now simplified and is an 80cm climb or descent.

rmackay9 6ca8fda76d ArduCopter.pde: added call to set_manual_rc_channel to allow pilot's channel 6 to control pitch.
This initialisation code should be moved to init_ardupilot and/or into the AP_Mount library.

switched over to barometer.get_climb_rate() * 100
removed +home.alt calcs since home is always 0 altitude

Jason Short 9de2c00d93 Arducopter: WP_radius
Switching to stored WP_radius in meters, just like Arduplane

Jason Short 86cab799ed arducopter.pde
Timer was set =0 at initialization.
2012-07-09 13:13:32 -07:00
Jason Short 207497a840 Arducopter.pde:
Added note about -1 to disable feature
Set RTL_Atl by default after reaching home in case we're at the wrong alt.
increased speed of Yaw rotation for WPs
2012-07-03 17:21:46 -07:00
Jason Short 0aabd4efe2 Yaw mode:
Improved hybrid Yaw mode:
- uses rate controller rather than as fast as possible
- waits 1.5 seconds before entering hold
- bounce free
2012-07-01 13:40:12 -07:00
Jason Short e5fbcb629d Arducopter.pde_RTL:
added a new RTL function that goes into Loiter, first, checks if we have reached RTL_Altitude, then enters WP mode to come home.
Removes Approach mode. Uses Auto_Approach value to decide if we should land or descend to a certain altitude
2012-07-01 13:40:11 -07:00
Jason Short b199fb22a2 Added code for self centering throttle - disabled by default. 2012-07-01 13:40:11 -07:00

Adam M Rivera 44ce8fc4bc ArduCopter: Loiter Timer should have been set when the approach altitude was set. Previously, land had to be enabled before auto approach would work. 2012-06-28 20:34:53 -05:00

rmackay9 6b16ca190f ArduCopter: updated firmware to simply 2.6 (i.e. removed Epsilon) ahead of the release 2012-06-15 00:42:59 +09:00
Jason Short 6dc1e02f76 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.

rmackay9 826cffe688 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.
