this smooths out tailsitter transitions in both directions, adding a
new FW to VTOL transition state

Plane: implement Q_OPTIONS
...
this allows for NAV_TAKEOFF to be treated as NAV_VTOL_TAKEOFF in
quadplanes, and for level flight to be maintained during quadplane
transitions

Plane: limit pitch in transition to QLOITER and QLAND
...
when switching to QLOITER or QLAND when in forward flight, limit the
maximum pitch to prevent a sudden decelleration

this gives extra pitch input when taking off a vectored tailsitter,
allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff
thanks to Leonard for the idea!

Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors
...
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00
2d9c3e3d93
Plane: added EKF yaw reset handling to quadplane
...
this follows the implementation from copter. Thanks to Leonard for the

VTOL mode
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
3f7e7d456f
Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller
...
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
2db8589f49
Plane: smarter Z controller initialisation for quadplanes

this is more generic than the previous one used only for the full
position controller
2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
c061d5615b
Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang
...
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.
It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.
2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
3bb25eb194
Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT
...
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes
2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
ea5186340b
Plane: added Q_TILT_RATE_UP and Q_TILT_RATE_DN as separate parameters

e8b11924f8
Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code
...
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover

Global: remove mode line from headers
...
Using a global .dir-locals.el file is a better alternative than
reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.

2016-08-16 12:53:34 +10:00
63317e9430
