Andrew Tridgell c35a2e999b SITL: added SIM_GPS_DELAY parameter 
this allows a delay to be added to the gps data to test the impact on
AHRS/DCM
 2012-07-04 21:05:22 +10:00
rmackay9 faeda3713e AP_AHRS: removed DCM_test example sketch 
No longer required because it doesn't compile and is redundant anyway because the AP_AHRS_DCM class is tested in the AHRS_Test example sketch.
 2012-07-04 18:22:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 3849ca8b5c AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw 
this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on
accurate yaw. This means we should get accurate roll/pitch correction
even with lots of magnetometer interference

It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)

Andrew Tridgell 1cd8c54f21 AP_Math: cope with co-located waypoints in location_passed_point() 2012-07-04 14:24:04 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 468dfe3faa AP_Math: the windows arduino build is missing acosf() 2012-07-04 14:14:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0bdce404a5 AP_Math: add include of math.h 
this is needed for location.cpp

Andrew Tridgell dd24330645 DataFlash: fallback to BlockErase if ChipErase fails 
The errata on the APM2 dataflash chip says that ChipErase may not work
on some chips
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell dd200cba31 Math: added location functions to math library 
these do common calculations on struct Location
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1314e4f872 AHRS: make P gain on PI roll/pitch controller tunable 
this is to make it easier for Craig and Alan to tune
 2012-07-04 12:42:46 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 060cbe2030 AP_Mount: removed unused enum 2012-07-03 10:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 99b11e4f19 Mount: enable mount control via eeprom parameters 
this enables MNT_* parameter control of the camera mount code. It also
fixes the conversion of calculated angles between degrees and
integers, and fixes stabilised mount control when yaw control is not
available.
 2012-07-03 10:21:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 057eb5e6f6 Baro: average over all pressure/temperature samples on MS5611 
this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings

This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer
 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f70cd71791 Baro: fixed build of MS5611 test code 2012-07-02 13:44:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 769011e947 AnalogSource: added some example code 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fdcc3e8f0 SITL: added support for new analog source 
removed analogRead() to prevent people using it
 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c8befe4536 AnalogSource: make the Arduino AnalogSource interrupt driven 
this fixes several problems with reading analog sources:

 - we were getting poor values because we didn't wait long enough for
   an analog source to settle

 - we wasted a lot of CPU cycles waiting for conversions

 - we were not taking averages over many samples, which we did with
   the old AP_ADC driver on the APM1
 2012-07-01 15:01:05 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 136c03c3c0 AHRS: include the P terms in get_gyro() 
this makes it more useful for navigation controllers
 2012-06-29 21:54:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell acc6adf6e9 MPU6k: removed an unused variable 2012-06-29 21:54:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ed691fc465 SITL: added SITL class for controlling simulation 
this holds mavlink settable parameters for controlling sensor noise
levels
 2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 16c55c64d4 AHRS: don't add the P terms in _omega 
this can lead feedback via the _P_gain()
 2012-06-29 15:10:51 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37fc6c46b9 AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration 
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.

It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.
 2012-06-28 11:12:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 58c4d458dc AHRS: re-instate new DCM drift correction code 
This reverts commit 078489638d47fbaffde7c51249e36b5a8fc4ef9d.
 2012-06-28 11:09:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell fd241692d0 AHRS: revert to the old drift correction algorithm 
we need to work out why Craigs quad flipped today before we enable
this new drift correction
 2012-06-27 18:16:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a6543f1e84 SITL: removed an unused variable 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5bccfbd94c Barometer: fixed airstart for APM 
we need to re-load the ground pressure and temperature from eeprom on
and airstart
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e044a560b AHRS: include P term in omega 
thanks to Jon for suggesting this
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 37e2f2ee2c AHRS: implement spin rate limits 
this follows the method that Bill developed in his fastRotations
paper. We've demonstrated that this is indeed needed in APM, as we
were able to produce the 'dizzy' effects in both the ArduPlane and
ArduCopter simulator
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e4a245179c AHRS: cope with copters with no compass 
if a copter doesn't have a compass, we can't use the GPS for gyro
drift correction
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f4faf941e2 GPS: test the more modern MTK16 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 27761737ce SITL: fixed GPS heading in simulated UBlox 
longitude scale does not apply to velocity->heading conversions
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b811653800 SITL: changes UBlox simulation to 5Hz 
this matches the real UBlox driver
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e4d28b12e5 Compass: remove the need to call calculate() on the compass object 
the new AHRS code doesn't use calculate() and the compass.heading
attribute. Instead it works on the raw magnetometer vector. This
change removes the internal calculate state from the compass object
and instead adds calculate_heading() for use by older code that
doesn't go via AHRS.

This significantly reduces the calculation involved in compass updates

The null offsets enable/disable code is also removed, as it is not
needed now that compass offsets are not linked to the AHRS state.
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3a41ad8e7c AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer 
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.

The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c387edd74c Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces 
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 06c8763881 Filter: added 5 point average float filter 2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
Jonathan Challinger d230690b7b AHRS: brought DCM more inline with Bill's implementation 
omega_I applied continuously. _ki larger. Stop integrating when _omega.length()>20

The key change was the scaling of ge to ensure the error is not
quadratic
 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d4c8041c51 AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system 
This makes 3 major changes:

 1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
 constant

 2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings

 3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
 to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses
 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4d08f75292 AHRS: update for new _fly_forward flag 2012-06-27 16:01:49 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 70f18289c5 GPS: fixed auto-config of UBlox setup with no UBX messages 
if a UBlox is configured for NMEA only, with no UBX messages at all
then it would never trigger the GPS_AUTO detection. This adds a UBX
config message to the init strings that enables the NAV_SOL message
 2012-06-15 15:53:27 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fe297ab63 FastSerial: added tx_pending() method

want. It also supports setting the navigation engine type
 2012-06-10 16:34:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9c1ce9e1c5 FastSerial: avoid buffer re-allocation on re-open if possible 
we commonly re-open serial ports a lot in the AUTO GPS driver
 2012-06-09 07:43:22 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cf4e56457b SITL: map() is a C++ function, so needs to be in C++ part of the header 
this fixes the ACM build
 2012-06-08 17:09:23 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell cbf477addd GPS: added debug code to the main GPS class 2012-06-08 16:42:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a8bfc5d8e9 GPS: re-open the serial port with a 256 byte serial receive buffer 
this ensures all GPS parsers have a 256 byte buffer available
 2012-06-08 16:42:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 296e651b30 GPS: fixed the UBLOX parser to handle unknown messages 
the parser was broken in several ways:

 1) when it received an unknown message it didn't update the ck_a and ck_b fields, so it
    thought the message had a bad checksum, which meant it got out of protocol sync

 2) the read() method would return false if the last message from the GPS was of an unknown type. 
    So we relied on the last msg always being one that we understand and want

 3) the parser considered any valid UBLOX message to be 'new data', whereas we only actually get 
    a new fix when we get box a new position and velned message

 4) the total message size per update is more than 128 bytes, but the serial port was opened 
    with only a 128 byte buffer, so we got corruption regularly

Andrew Tridgell fc73fd6531 DataFlash: use ChipErase() instead of PageErase() on all pages 
This makes the DataFlash erase much faster (about 6 seconds instead of
about 60 seconds).

We need to test and ensure the behaviour is equivalent apart from the
speed
 2012-05-22 19:29:02 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell f274df454a DCM: fixed a bug when using GPS for yaw correction 
When using GPS for yaw correction we need to apply the x and y omegaI
corrections from the _omega_I_sum in the period before we get to the
minimum ground speed for GPS yaw correction. Otherwise we get a large
sudden omega_I change on takeoff.

Andrew Tridgell 88b2139d91 Baro: added suspend/resume on init 2012-05-01 12:06:54 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d692a932ca ADC: added suspend/resume on init 2012-05-01 12:06:54 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 534aee17e9 TimerProcess: added suspend_timer()/resume_timer() 
this will be used to avoid races in driver initialisation
 2012-05-01 12:06:54 +10:00
rmackay9 6e1798b104 AP_AHRS: updated default AHRS_YAW_P to 0.2 (was 0.4) 
This reduces the compass's default authority over the yaw direction by half
 2012-04-30 17:29:45 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell ca8bc34c98 MAVLink: re-generated with new pygen 
this moves the enums to make them less order sensitive
 2012-04-30 12:27:30 +10:00
Adam M Rivera 56d3fa1601 Parameters.pde/AP_MotorsHeli: Updated comments to leverage the new value aliases 2012-04-28 20:50:41 -05:00
Andrew Tridgell 4f90e6e844 build: cope with Arduino 1.0 in command line build 
this should autodetect 1.0 versus older builds
 2012-04-27 15:38:42 +10:00
Adam M Rivera 239323eaa4 Parameters.pde/AP_MotorsHeli.cpp: Added comments from Roberts clone. 2012-04-26 18:26:14 -05:00
Adam M Rivera 3309dec205 AP_AHRS_DCM.cpp: Added comments that follow the new parse structure 2012-04-25 12:00:42 -05:00
Andrew Tridgell 89041c6996 sitl: support MAVLink 1.0 builds 2012-04-24 22:24:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d11957718f MAVLink: removed the cpp part of the library 
this was preventing building MAVLink 1.0 with the arduino GUI as we
can't set cpp defines
 2012-04-24 22:24:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell eb5bc964d8 MAVLink: one more define for MAVLink 1.0 compat 2012-04-24 19:54:20 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0753782c49 MAVLink: re-add the XML message definitions 
these are a very useful reference for the current headers in the code
 2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5c067d5a03 MAVLink: imported new mavlink header updates 
this fixes the camera control code which was broken by a previous
import
 2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e8f8115a8f APM_RC: added OutputCh_current() method 
this allows logging of the actual servo output values. The radio_out
method previously used doesn't take account of the various override
mechanisms available via waypoints
 2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a3af369b6 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds 
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.
 2012-04-23 12:13:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f27d85cb8d DCM: drop the 'drop z' method 
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

  http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:Comment:834373

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.
 2012-04-23 12:13:24 +10:00
rmackay9 11a384a7ff AP_Motors - allow tail servo to be reversed. Closes ArduCopter issue #228 2012-04-21 23:07:57 +09:00
rmackay9 c45b124cbe DataFlash_APM2 - moved CS_inactive call (which disables the dataflash) from the beginning to the end of all methods. This means the dataflash does not monopolize the SPI bus. 
Also formatting changes to use tab instead of space. Sorry, should have done this as a separate check-in to the above changes.
 2012-04-21 20:14:45 +09:00
rmackay9 f18ee75b5c AP_OpticalFlow - updated test sketch to allow testing of APM2 version 2012-04-21 20:11:18 +09:00

James Goppert ba89f39781 Updated MAVLink to 1.0.6 release. 2012-04-19 15:46:29 -04:00
Adam M Rivera b500d9430f AP_AHRS_HIL.h: Fixed HIL build by adding missing public property. 2012-04-16 10:26:14 -05:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e90aeea4e AHRS: added AHRS_YAW_P parameter 
this allows users to change the yaw gain in DCM
 2012-04-16 20:55:13 +10:00
analoguedevices 28833ed1d6 added missing #include 2012-04-09 14:32:54 +00:00
rmackay9 c96dfb2108 AP_AHRS - changed parameter order to remove compiler warning 2012-04-09 17:37:11 +09:00
rmackay9 ef43da9b92 AP_Compass - changed parameter initialisation order to remove compiler warning 2012-04-09 17:37:02 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 985c967bb9 MAVLink: imported new mavlink headers 
this adds local and remote radio noise levels
 2012-04-08 12:22:17 +10:00
rmackay9 53827f2e92 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed stability patch issue in which it would not limit a motor's output unless an opposite motor had been defined. This would only have affected Y6 frames. 2012-04-07 12:16:12 +09:00
rmackay9 127a990509 AP_MotorsOcta - V Frame - test order fix spotted by David Wiens 2012-04-07 08:11:28 +09:00
rmackay9 f6e1509d05 AP_Motors - fixed last "shadowing" compiler warning caused by badly named parameter in auto_armed method. 2012-04-05 00:28:04 +09:00
rmackay9 1e20d7de88 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed another compiler error regarding shadowing a variable. Fixed by removing those the angle and direction arrays which weren't even used 2012-04-05 00:24:56 +09:00
rmackay9 7a8973eaf0 AP_MotorsHeli - fixed compiler warning re move_swash function declared with int parameters in .h file but actually using int16_t in .cpp file. They're the same in arduino but perhaps the build checker is a little more strict that Arduino. 2012-04-05 00:06:33 +09:00
rmackay9 926211f0f0 AP_Motors - fix compiler warning re shadowing a variable caused by badly named parameter in armed function. 
Another compiler warning fixed in AP_MotorsMatrix.cpp caused by declaring "i" twice.
 2012-04-04 23:59:51 +09:00
rmackay9 b71877366e ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code: 
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
     2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
     3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)

Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.
 2012-04-02 17:26:37 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fd1a55fa6 MAVLink: import change to txbuf as a percentage 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4ddeb82b26 MAVLink: imported new headers, with RADIO packet 2012-04-01 21:44:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0c445101ff FastSerial: added set_blocking_writes() interface 
this allows us to put a serial port into non-blocking mode, so that
writes that don't fit in the transmit buffer are dropped. This will be
used in flight to prevent stray printf() calls from causing large time
delays in the code
 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 22ff8cb197 examples: fixed build of some examples with new AP_Declination code 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 504c53f746 Compass: added COMPASS_AUTODEC option 
when this is 1 (which is the default), we will get the declination
automatically via the AP_Declination library

when it is 0 we will use the value configured by the user
 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 927834106d AP_Declination: save some more memory by putting the declination keys in progmem 
there was a comment saying this was too slow, but it actually costs
about 30 usec extra, which is trivial given the full auto declination
call costs 680 usec and its only called once per boot
 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 70d4280935 AP_Declination: added timing information to declination test 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 175352845c AP_Declination: fixed build under SITL 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera ca82350f17 AP_Declination_test: Updated test with better print messages. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 01b1e58f7d AP_Declination: Update LUT based on the changes that I made in the LUT generation code. This LUT is the final version that has no truncation. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 23f6093f05 AP_Declination: Updated comments to reflect new LUT size. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 50791a8b0f AP_Declination: Removed trailing zero deltas as they have no impact on the final value and only take up extra bytes. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera f35e447927 AP_Declination: Updated compressed lookup value table. Located 9 more failure points due to truncation on the packed LUT. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 72b70c394c AP_Declination: Found 7 of the 22 failure points and fixed them. The issue with those 7 was the way I originally packed the value array. The last delta values on some rows were getting truncated. The new number of failures is down to 15 - WIP. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 076192db51 AP_Declination: Updated test to run in 5 degree increments. Changed to only print failures and also print total pass vs total fail. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 230ca1ddca AP_Declination: Moved check for y index of zero to after the y index is properly transformed. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera e0fa053c79 AP_Declination: The exception signs unpacking logic was incorrect. I was shifting a 1 value left y%8 which would have needed a the signs to be packed right to left. My packed signs byte was packed left to right (left most being the 0 position) so I needed to reverse the shifting. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera f66c6e16e4 AP_Declination: In order for the bitwise & operation to work, negative signs need to be represented by 1s instead of 0s. Changed so that negative signs are represented by a 1 in the packed signs array. Updated lookup logic to reflect this change. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera d88b9e8ffc AP_Declination: Updated packed exception signs array. I had the signs packed incorrectly. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 036da88174 AP_Declination: Changed test to run in increments of 10 degrees. 1 was too granular. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 580b274bde AP_Declination: Added original array to test sketch. Added loop to validate new compressed array against original in 1 degree steps. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera efefc3e4f4 AP_Declination: Moved rows with large spikes in delta to their own unsigned exception rows. The signs are in a separate packed array. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 0dcc4e8307 AP_Declination: Implemented Delta Encoding and Run-Length Encoding. Added method to traverse the compressed array and return the lookup value based on the same lat_index/lon_index that was used before. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 3a849771bc AP_Declination: Changed PROGMEM read function to pgm_read_word_far to support the int16_t datatype. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 370e56c00a AP_Declination: Changed datatype to int16_t to support the -90 <-> 90 latitude range. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Adam M Rivera ae257ad42b AP_Declination: Reduced the size of the lookup table to support -75 <-> 70 latitude range. This allows the datatype to remain int8_t. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b549b88e5e AHRS: fixed error_yaw reporting with 2 MAVLink connections 
when a user first connects with USB, and later switches to the
telemetry port without restarting we were getting zero for error_yaw
in the logs, as AHRS.get_error_yaw() was being called twice.

This ensures we give the last value after the counter is reset
 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 16deefce31 Compass: fixed a comment 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 17290836ef Compass: added some more comments 
explain the algorithm a bit more
 2012-03-29 12:39:53 +11:00
rmackay9 2ce597642e Filter - added FilterWithBuffer typedefs for int32t and uint32 for ease of use 2012-03-28 22:02:52 +09:00
rmackay9 90fcdeadfd AP_OpticalFlow - small bug fix to ensure init attempts to read the product id 3 times before giving up 2012-03-28 22:00:57 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 10c35e3769 SITL: add magnetic field noise to the simulated compass 2012-03-28 20:55:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f4c1b6a3c6 SITL: ensure we don't run the sitl timer twice 
this caused problems with random()
 2012-03-28 20:55:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b2d6db9479 Compass: implement noise resistant varient of offset learning 
This adds a large amount of noise robustness to the compass offset
learning algorithm, at a cost of 120 bytes of memory. The changes are
based on a long discussion with Bill Premerlani.
 2012-03-28 20:55:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b95d2060a ADC: minor fix to the ADC Ch6() code 
we don't need to add count any more, as floating point maths doesn't
need to round up
 2012-03-27 15:37:24 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a72d4b46b3 Compass: implement Bills new offset nulling algorithm 
this seems to work much better than the old algorithm, converging
faster and more accurately. Even better, it has no linkage to DCM, so
no possibility of nasty feedback effects
 2012-03-27 15:37:24 +11:00
rmackay9 b5dbdab81e APM_RC - moved Force_Out0_Out1, Force_Out2_Out3 and Force_Out6_Out6 to APM_RC parent class because it's already implemented in the APM1 and APM2 child classes anyway 2012-03-25 21:13:31 +09:00
rmackay9 2b2dbf2a7f Filter - added simple LowPassFilter (simple but it's possible to make errors with simple stuff too so might as well have one) 2012-03-25 16:15:25 +09:00
rmackay9 39fd24ed14 Filter - remove obsolete warning from comments re alloc/malloc dangers 2012-03-25 16:14:07 +09:00
rmackay9 2d65ec2874 AP_Baro - change data type size of temperature's average filter to int32_t (was int16_t) 2012-03-24 23:21:11 +09:00
rmackay9 d371862fd2 AP_OpticalFlow - resolved compile error in example sketch (it could not find DCM.h but it's not required anyway) 2012-03-24 14:47:21 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell a6d66dc45b Math: added mul_transpose() operation 
this is equivalent to multiplying by m.transposed(), but is more
efficient
 2012-03-23 16:48:52 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f4d1295a4b AHRS: fixed build of AHRS example 2012-03-22 23:00:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell fe55a76335 Math: moved matrix multiple operations to .cpp file 
this means we only link this in once, rather than for every use of
matrix multiply, which saves us some flash space

We need to be careful not to put large pieces of code in template
headers, as if the operation is used a lot, it costs us a lot of code
space
 2012-03-21 10:43:48 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 17fbb8ea26 Math: fixed the build of the eulers test in SITL 2012-03-21 10:41:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 90c3d230d9 SITL: improve the simulated compass 
this implements a much more accurate model of a compass using matrix
rotations, instead of trying to calculate components directly
 2012-03-21 10:41:55 +11:00
rmackay9 24a471ff8f AC_PID - added more paranoid checking that imax is positive in constructor, operator() and load_gains methods 2012-03-20 11:51:15 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 9f4becbacf AHRS: added AHRS specific MAVLink headers 2012-03-19 17:35:20 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 4f82134a5e DCM: use the new rotate() method from AP_Math 
this allows us to use a tested and optimised rotation method
 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 17f7292fe9 Math: added a test for the rotate() method 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c16b353ea7 Math: added rotate() method to Matrix3f 
this is the core method used to update the DCM matrix with a gyro
vector. Moving it to AP_Math allows us to have a test for it
 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 31e566475b Math: added zero() and identity() methods to Matrix3f 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c53b320e00 Quaternion: change signs in AP_AHRS_Quaternion

Andrew Tridgell 72a761170b Math: fixed build of eulers test on SITL 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 58a68c89d9 Math: added a function to combine standard rotations 
this will allow us to have an overall board rotation plus a per-sensor
rotation
 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8ae0ea7e37 AP_Mount: adapt library for AHRS framework 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00

Andrew Tridgell 9d75ffeba1 AHRS: rename DCM and Quaternion implementions ready for AHRS class 
this is the first step to creating a general AHRS class for ArduPilot
 2012-03-19 17:29:01 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 55ed84526a MAVLink: rename DCM message to AHRS 2012-03-19 17:29:01 +11:00
rmackay9 01cc5fe938 AP_Baro - removed unnecessary 2 element average filtering of pressure (there is a 4 or 5 element average filter in arducopter code itself, two places is messy) 
- also removed unused _offset_press variable
 2012-03-18 15:18:05 +09:00
rmackay9 7560242721 AP_Baro - added average filter for temperature to replace broken filter 
- added average filter (for last two values) for raw pressure
        - changed some "long" to int32_t and "unsigned long" to uint32_t
 2012-03-18 01:06:02 +09:00

thanks Justin!
 2012-03-13 13:27:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 13dac4a93a DCM: adjust yaw kp constant down to 0.4 
this makes the time constant for compass errors closely match the
timing of the older releases - about 10 seconds for a 1 radian change
in heading
 2012-03-12 17:49:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7daaadf776 Compass: fixed the order of rotations in the compass driver 
this should fix the massive heading issues that people have been
reporting. Please test!

Adam M Rivera fe8c896d69 AP_Declination: Added method set_initial_location 
This will set the declination based on lat/lon if the user has
not yet saved one to the EEPROM, OR if they have specified via the
config parameter that they want it to overwrite the declination every
3D fix.

Andrew Tridgell f70dfe440d Quaternion: fix the gyro bias in centripetal and remove smoothing 
the centripetal code needs to take account of the current gyro
bias.

It turned out that the accel and gyro smoothing was causing
significant control lag, and we're better off just letting the
quaternion code handle it via its own smoothing parameters

Andrew Tridgell 3b1782f369 DCM: don't use the z accel sensor for drift correction 
the z accel is the noisest, and seems to do more harm than good. Using
just x and y is sufficient for drift correction by assuming the vector
length
 2012-03-10 10:34:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4031320f7c DCM: added a small amount of gyro and accel smoothing

Jason Short 486c56ce41 Consolidated Barometer pressure sensing to a single filter based on Randy's new filter class. 2012-03-08 23:13:04 -08:00
Jason Short e57b91c2e2 Updated on Barometer - increased the Temp filtering and decreased the pressure filtering to and get less temp noise, faster response from pressure. I'm filtering the Climb rate differently now, so this higher pressure noise should not hurt the derivative calcs at all now. 2012-03-06 20:55:35 -08:00

Pat Hickey eac8b66385 AP_Param: Make nested group recursion disableable by macro 
* Eliminates recursive calls inside AP_Param.
  This is important to Pat @ Galois, but not the project in general.
  Recursion depth on these functions is bounded structurally using
  existing nested group constructors (can't create loops in finite space)
  and checked at init time

scale the noise based on the period of the motors
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell efe5c0142c SITL: raise the ADC noise level to 8 bits when flying 
this is about the level of noise of a aircraft that has a lot of
vibration
 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell cd4fcb694e IMU: removed unused accel_filtered code 2012-02-28 09:43:49 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 87a6d97f7b AP_Param: fixed setting of CAM_P_G in ArduCopter 
the variable CAM_P_G has the same prefix as the CAM_P group. We want
to allow for parameters having a common prefix with a group, so we
need to keep searching after we've found a group that matches the
prefix
 2012-02-27 10:54:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell fa443bd928 AP_Param: make the templating code a bit clearer 
add comments on the arguments, and name them in a clearer way
 2012-02-27 10:54:33 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell eb35e0e8ac DCM: fixed the sense of the compass GPS test in initial yaw 
we were only disabling null offsets when we didn't have a compass,
which doesn't make much sense!
 2012-02-26 22:24:45 +11:00
rmackay9 297d2ae457 ModeFilter - corrected shadowed variable compiler warning for drop_high_sample 2012-02-26 17:57:28 +09:00
rmackay9 b9b88ba237 Filter - added AverageFilter - this will be used in place of SumFilter because it removes the possibility of overflows 2012-02-26 17:34:36 +09:00
rmackay9 f53ff8de97 Filter - removed shadowing of variables in constructors for Filter, ModeFilter and SumFilter (sorry tridge!) 
increased maximum sample buffer size from 6 to 10
 2012-02-26 17:17:46 +09:00
rmackay9 74f7d7a1c0 ModeFilter - remove older ModeFilter library (new library is now in Filter directory) 2012-02-26 15:36:23 +09:00
rmackay9 f264e29814 AP_RangeFinder - cut over to use new ModeFilter from Filter library 2012-02-26 15:34:50 +09:00
rmackay9 c14d7768f7 Filter - first version of filter library include ModeFilter 2012-02-26 15:34:05 +09:00
rmackay9 952e5d7bbc AP_Mount - #include FastSerial first to allow it to compile under Arduino 1.0 2012-02-26 15:31:56 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell d0a6359b37 Compass: use constructor to set initial values for _learn and _use_for_yaw 
this ensures they are set if you have MAG_ENABLE==0
 2012-02-25 17:36:31 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 900388a85a DCM: disable compass null offsets when setting initial yaw 
we need to ensure the compass null offsets code doesn't see a sudden
yaw change, or it will change the offsets by a large amount very
suddenly
 2012-02-25 16:02:24 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f59297d7a7 Compass: catch the case of a user enabling a compass mid-flight 
if a compass has not been initialised at startup we can't enable it
mid-flight, as we don't have the orientation
 2012-02-25 14:51:09 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell eb71b26d3f DCM: use the new use_for_yaw() compass method 2012-02-25 14:51:09 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 664622523d Compass: added COMPASS_LEARN and COMPASS_USE parameters 
these allow you to control if the compass should be used for yaw and
if it should learn its offsets. This is useful for locking in compass
offsets once they are confirmed to be good, and for learning offsets
without using them in flights.

The default is to behave the same as previously, which is
COMPASS_LEARN=1 and COMPASS_USE=1
 2012-02-25 14:51:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f10097a6d5 AP_Param: added some comments on AP_Vector3f handling 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 5e2fbdb6cf DCM: don't reset _have_initial_yaw for GPS heading unless very slow 
wait till we reach 1m/s before we reset _have_initial_yaw. This
prevents us continually resetting the DCM matrix if our ground speed
is close to 3m/s.
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2e9105c68a AP_Param: added special handling for Vector3f 
We would like to be able to use Vector3f as a parameter while exposing
the individual elements of the vector as MAVLink parameters. This
change to AP_Param makes that possible, by giving AP_Vector3f a dual
personality
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d6bfceef7c SITL: added -C option to desktop mode 
this allows running APM to stdout, which is useful for test sketches
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 54aa8297af libs: removed unused library GPS_IMU 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 185ab5aea9 libs: removed unusued library GCS_SIMPLE 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 55e33c3359 DCM: tidy up use of error_course and in_motion 
in_motion is not a good name now it is also used for the compass

The error_course and heading component values don't need to be part of
the DCM object, they can be on the stack to reduce the memory usage a bit
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ab8cc3d478 DCM: use rotation_matrix_from_euler() to calculate initial yaw 
When we first get a compass reading or we first start motion we need
to setup the DCM matrix with the right yaw. This uses
rotation_matrix_from_euler() to get a DCM matrix corresponding to our
current roll/pitch, but with the correct yaw
 2012-02-25 11:37:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ddeda1c367 DCM: use rotation_matrix_from_euler() in matrix reset 
this makes the code a bit easier to read
 2012-02-24 11:54:11 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 06f37aad75 DCM: use calculate_euler_angles() to get eulers from DCM 
this makes the code a bit easier to understand
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 16ed8bc8f6 AP_Math: added rotmat <-> euler functions 
these will make the dcm matrix manipulation easier to understand
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c354879f1f Compass: ensure we don't produce NAN values for compass heading 
this leaves the previous heading values alone if we are at a pitch of
exactly 90 or -90, at which point we can't compute a meaningful
heading
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 17d16bc8c6 AP_Math: added safe_sqrt() function 
this function will never return NAN. It will return zero for negative
numbers.
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell bad653f230 DCM: tidy up the nan checking in DCM 
use is_nan() on the matrix rather than just on c.x, and add
safe_asin() to the (unused) OUTPUTMODE==2 code.
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c8e6d03c67 DCM: added matrix recovery on reset 
when we get a bad DCM error we can recover a matrix corresponding to
the current attitude, making it more likely that the aircraft will be
able to recover
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 502fbf6e17 AP_Math: added a safe_asin() function 
this adds range checking to asin()
 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 17170da96e AP_Math: added is_nan() methods to vector3f and matrix3f 2012-02-24 11:52:55 +11:00
Jason Short b094f6ce52 added set integrator 2012-02-23 09:38:08 -08:00
Andrew Tridgell ef90f336d3 DCM: changed the sense of floating point range comparison 
This allows us to detect NaN, otherwise NaN values were considered 
'in range'
 2012-02-23 11:41:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 57ffd00b69 DCM: range check the matrix before calculating pitch 
The asin() in the pitch calculation can only take values between -1
and 1. This change ensures that the value is in range, and if it isn't
then we force a normalization. If that fails we reset the matrix
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2bb58db3f7 DCM: reset more values on renorm blowup 
when DCM blows up, we need to reset a lot more variables to ensure
that any NaN values don't persist
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 156d98cb9f DCM: remove the taylor expansion optimisation for renormalisation 
The sqrt() costs about 44usec on a 2560, which is small enough for us
not to worry about the speed.

This also changes the range of values where we declare a blowup to
much less likely, which means we can cope with larger delta_t glitches
 2012-02-23 08:16:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 53b87229ff AP_Param: added ParamToken type for variable list traversal 2012-02-19 17:05:28 +11:00
Jason Short 1e37a0ec17 added a limit to range output 2012-02-18 21:08:17 -08:00
Randy Mackay 33aa6fe13b Optflow - added reference to FastSerial to resolve compile error on Arduino 1.0. 
also removed reference to DCM (no longer required) and removed some old code.
 2012-02-18 18:09:40 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 9793d04ed1 SITL: increase the amount of noise in the simulated ADC 
this increases the noise to 2 bits, which actually can have the effect
of improving accuracy, as it leads to better averaging
 2012-02-18 19:27:15 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell d52cb7e574 DCM: only add in centripetal accel if we have GPS lock 
if we don't have a GPS or the GPS doesn't have a good lock then we
can't rely on the ground speed for adjusting the acceleration vector
 2012-02-18 19:27:15 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell baac883eb1 IMU: move _sensor_cal to general IMU class 
this makes it available both in shim and INS subclasses
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 882cd4ea83 AP_Param: moved AP_Vector3f and AP_Matrix3f declarations to AP_Math.h 
this avoids us needing AP_Math.h in every utility sketch and example
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 4b15b63d21 AP_Param: fixed copy-assignment operators for AP_Param vectors 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 7f3858cb7f AP_Param: added a set_and_save_ifchanged() method 
this can be used to avoid the scan() in more frequenctly saved
variables, such as the MAVLink stream rates in APM
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 80a6773b8b AP_Param: added an initialised() method 
this will be used by the compass code
 2012-02-18 10:51:57 +11:00
justinbeech 62b104cbfa Found free extra 256 bytes of RAM eliminate _clz use from libgcc 
Believe it or not, changing / 2^31 to >>31 saved 256 bytes in the "d" segment.

The reason is that GCC version prior to 4.3.5 does not have a count_leading_zeros (clz) assembler macro, so it uses a 256 byte lookup table called _clz
The _clz table gets pulled in if you do 64 bit division.
This tiny change is the only place that we do long long division.
Changing to a shift saves 256 bytes of ram.
