AP_Airspeed

Andrew Tridgell 7a49515ee3 APM: fixed roll in landing approach 2012-09-12 11:53:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 77926a6965 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 0a9070e4fe 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 d08bd4214b 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 966c1988c3 APM: preparing for 2.61 release 2012-09-08 18:36:17 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4219cb55ce APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places 
this applies the wind constraint
 2012-09-08 11:37:11 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b2a74951d1 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 a71cee4579 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 0be8349678 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 7ab7770c3d 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.

Andrew Tridgell 3f54b83238 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 ac2ad44c3c 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 517e6b2b9d APM: prepare for ArduPlane 2.60 2012-08-22 16:28:38 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d091311196 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 56ada1a69c APM: added RSSI to RC_CHANNELS_RAW as well 
and prevent double read
 2012-08-22 13:58:25 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell e74dab122a 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 2bc2460c07 APM: optional build with new controller libs 2012-08-22 12:39:07 +10:00
uncrustify 5e913c72c4 uncrustify ArduPlane/ArduPlane.pde 2012-08-21 19:19:51 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 5d29d5e5a1 APM: removed DMP support from ArduPlane 
Without centripetal correction the DMP code will almost certainly
crash a plane
 2012-08-22 11:46:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell bd6581c523 AHRS: removed Quaternion build support from APM/ACM/rover 2012-08-22 10:42:21 +10:00
rmackay9 e5d8efdb7e ArduPlane: replaced many "int" with "int16_t", "long" with "int32_t" 2012-08-18 18:26:13 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 2fb8a13ac6 APM: added parameter FBWB_ELEV_REV 
this fixes issue 343
 2012-08-17 15:04:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20be77ab32 APM: when land_complete is true, use land_pitch 
this gives a flare on final landing
 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f4023d1b44 AP_Airspeed: remove airspeed filter and run at 10Hz 
this saves on the filter memory, and gives just as good a result
 2012-08-15 12:39:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 8c3b6f471f APM: keep the time of the last heartbeat message 
this will be used for failsafe processing
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 93f45f232f APM: added 'OBC' failsafe module for ArduPlane 
this adds FS_* parameters for setting up APM to follow the outback
challenge failsafe rules.

This includes:

 - manual pin
 - heartbeat pin
 - waypoint for heartbeat failure
 - waypoint for GPS failure
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 98d5a49717 APM: fixed LOITER_TIME and LOITER_TURNS 
These now follow the mavlink spec. Loiter time is in seconds, and
loiter turns is now 32 bit angle, so can handle larger numbers of
turns.
 2012-08-15 12:39:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9d9c7b0455 APM: allow for navigation by dead-reckoning 
we now ask AHRS if we have a position estimate, and use that if
available
 2012-08-11 12:01:08 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas 9a8fd4738e Add an optional second mount to ArduPlane and ArduCopter 2012-08-08 23:22:24 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell 5e19c0cf04 AP_Airspeed: removed values passed to constructor 2012-08-08 16:38:39 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 67f076a9db APM: change variables to use _cm, _cd and _ms suffix for units 
this makes it less likely that we mix up units
 2012-08-08 12:12:30 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b366205172 APM: removed cli slider and dipswitch options 
use mavlink/eeprom for all config
 2012-08-08 12:12:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell f98b887dbe AP_Param: update ArduPlane core for new AP_Param interface 2012-08-08 12:11:57 +10:00
Amilcar Lucas 03b902d4b7 Add me :) 2012-08-06 00:40:12 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas fe4713b46e RC_Channel: Allow each channel to know who they are, this simplifies the enabling and output function calls. 2012-08-05 23:08:31 +02:00
Amilcar Lucas 9b31938519 The mount type must be updated periodically 2012-08-04 18:44:08 +02:00
Andrew Tridgell 526344ab7c APM: added control switch debouncer 
this adds a switch debouncer, similar to the one used in
ArduCopter. I'm adding this after a flight on the weekend where noise
on the control mode channel caused a mode change away from auto.

To prevent this change adding excessive mode switch latency, it also
moves the reading of the control switch to the 10Hz loop, away from
the 3.3Hz loop. That gives us 0.2s delay in mode switch changes and
allows for spikes in the control mode for 0.1 seconds without changing
mode.

rmackay9 717d0d25d4 ArduPlane: allow MPU6000's DMP to be used for attitude estimation. 
Enable by adding this line to APM_Config.h:
#define DMP_ENABLED ENABLED
 2012-07-28 19:50:40 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell cfe19c8f53 APM: update version for 2.50 release 2012-07-26 11:36:17 +10:00
