c5617eeeac 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

dadc7d5a7d 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

80d15368bc Arducopter.pde : Added Approach mode, added "Toy" mode fun code I'm playing with.
Added landing code to make landing happen closer to home loc
Added check for distance to Loiter WP before overriding a new Loiter position.
Moved calc_loiter_pitch_roll() to 50 hz.
removed the nav_bearing var - not used with new crosstrack.

c62cc4844e ArduCopter: updated firmware to simply 2.6 (i.e. removed Epsilon) ahead of the release 2012-06-15 00:42:59 +09:00

c42f9ece43 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.

72d76558a7 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.

08bf04dd08 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

5754f97433 reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -07:00

d1cd04486a removed retro loiter code since Angel has a branch now.
shrank speed filter to avoid latency
removed unused forward estimator code

placed code for switchover to gps.groundspeed at 1.5m/s

added clamp for D term when below .5m/s to eliminate noise

added hybrid I-term based on speed error and position

changes Loiter D term to use position rather than acceleration to avoid noise

357d6c2d9b ArduCopter: bug fix for reversing tri servo
