priseborough 70a186464b Plane: added LEVEL_ROLL_LIMIT parameter 
this replaces both TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD and RUDDER_STEER, allowing users to
instead select a roll limit for takeoff and landing
 2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE 
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight
is also _much_ better with sensors HIL.
 2013-04-12 17:44:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class 
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Andrew Tridgell dcbe144c7e Plane: prepare for release of 2.71 2013-04-06 17:27:21 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c5e2cfcc3e Plane: preparing for 2.71-beta 2013-04-02 09:25:24 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7db7d7db77 Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm 
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter

This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
 2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
Randy Mackay a49fe272ad Plane: replace gps fix with status 
Required to ensure 3d fix is used for initialising home
 2013-03-27 11:42:02 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell f077f54e6a Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option 
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.
 2013-03-27 10:27:14 +11:00

mode

  strictly need AP_Param.

Andrew Tridgell cebb67e1df APM: removed the unused sonar code 
when we start supporting a sonar we'll add a AP_Sonar library, like
AP_Airspeed
 2012-09-19 19:35:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2324997e16 APM: added ALT_OFFSET parameter 
useful to adjust for barometric pressure changes during a long flight
 2012-09-19 16:23:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37cb56f3e1 APM: save another few bytes 2012-09-18 13:58:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell df962d25a8 APM: fixed a comment 2012-09-18 13:58:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 12dc2e79cf APM: save 100 bytes of memory 
remove flight_mode_strings array

Andrew Tridgell 86face0a03 APM: preparing for 2.63 release 2012-09-17 17:32:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7e8ef0ae95 APM: fixed handling of DO_REPEAT_SERVO and DO_REPEAT_RELAY 2012-09-17 14:45:47 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b55e7903aa APM: prepare for 2.62 release 2012-09-13 12:02:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b1408008c9 APM: allow for landing pitch control until final stage 2012-09-12 13:09:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 05e72c6e68 APM: fixed roll in landing approach 2012-09-12 11:53:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5f3ffe4839 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method 
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

Andrew Tridgell 7e672628ea APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag 
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
 2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cb88681914 APM: added support for MAV_CMD_PREFLIGHT_REBOOT_SHUTDOWN 
this allows for remote reboot of APM
 2012-09-10 11:42:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 657dd5969f APM: preparing for 2.61 release 2012-09-08 18:36:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dec12c7370 APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places 
this applies the wind constraint
 2012-09-08 11:37:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 164c60d25f APM: added RUDDER_STEER option 
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling
 2012-09-08 10:07:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 68705fe7e6 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane 
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.
 2012-09-08 10:05:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 83153eebd4 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well 
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX
 2012-08-30 20:15:42 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e2b8817a89 APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach 
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.
 2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fce01464b1 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter 
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control
 2012-08-28 20:18:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dcbd0fbd44 APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress 
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

Andrew Tridgell c730d9072e APM: prepare for ArduPlane 2.60 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d8f99433c APM: removed factor of 0.5 in non-airspeed takeoff pitch 
this limited the pitch far below the specified target pitch
 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6ab2a861f7 APM: added RSSI to RC_CHANNELS_RAW as well 
and prevent double read
 2012-08-22 13:58:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c0c0b8c976 APM: added RECEIVER_RSSI_PIN option 
this allows for the receiver RSSI to be sent over MAVLink

Thanks to Burt Green for the suggestion

Andrew Tridgell 9e926eae51 APM: optional build with new controller libs 2012-08-22 12:39:07 +10:00
