- fixes bug where a bungee launch is configured but the aircraft gets bumped and triggers the prop to spin up. This will now detect that and "crash' and disable the motor
I had an issue in SITL where my plane would round the last WP staring
its landing approach and immediately limit the roll to 5degress even
before the plane had finished turning the corner so it would go WAY
off course. For a high value of LAND_FLARE_SEC (mine was 5) the math
works out the plane has landed if
height <= sink_rate * land_flare_sec
During the banking of the last corner the plane started to decend and
quickly set itself up for a 6.1m/s sink rate which is normal. It was
at 30 meters altitude. As you can see at this point the math thinks
the plane has landed so limits the roll. The solution was to ensure
the plane had covered at least 50% of the distance toward the final
waypoint before allowing a flare to happen. Note that LAND_FLARE_SEC
above 2 is considered very high and this normally wouldn't occur.
Due to the way the headers are organized a single change in a
AP_GPS backend would trigger a rebuild for most of the files in the
project. Time could be saved by using ccache (since most of the things
didn't change) but we can do better, i.e. re-organize
the headers so we don't have to re-build everything.
This makes internal headers internal and then other libraries only
depend on the AP_GPS.h header.
Implements the following techniques to enable planes to operate without magnetometers.
1) When on ground with mag use inhibited, a synthetic heading equal to current heading is fused to prevent uncontrolled covariance growth.
2) When transitioning to in-flight, the delta between inertial and GPS velocity vector is used to align the yaw.
3) The yaw gyro bias state variance is reset following an in-flight heading reset to enable the yaw gyro bias to be learned faster.
