Matthew Lloyd 60a4f74de6 AP_Compass: avoid division by zero if we haven't received any mag reports
Otherwise, get_field() will return NaNs after once every few calls to
read() during compassmot on PX4 platforms, which causes compassmot to fail.

This is a quick hack around the deeper issue, which could be something
like the PX4 mag driver experiencing starvation and skipping mag reports,
buffer overrun or something else that causes mag reports to be dropped.
Or perhaps we should never expect in the first place that we will always
receive at least one mag report between calls to read().

Andrew Tridgell 189d635493 AP_Compass: constrain compass offsets to +/- 2000
this is prompted by a user log showing NaN compass offsets, resulting
in a crash. The patch ensures we never end up with NaN offsets, and
also constrains the offsets to a reasonable limit

Andrew Tridgell 54562b0b9a AP_Compass: prevent bad initial values from affecting HMC5883 calibration
the first couple of values after we enter strap mode may be low, but
just above our 0.7 threshold. We now discard the first two values to
prevent these affecting the average.

Also added some commented out debug code and a comment on the scaling
of the calibration code

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.

when this is 1 (which is the default), we will get the declination

Andrew Tridgell b2d6db9479 Compass: implement noise resistant varient of offset learning
This adds a large amount of noise robustness to the compass offset

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

Adam M Rivera fe8c896d69 AP_Declination: Added method set_initial_location
This will set the declination based on lat/lon if the user has

3D fix.

Andrew Tridgell f59297d7a7 Compass: catch the case of a user enabling a compass mid-flight

mid-flight, as we don't have the orientation
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

Doug Weibel e22a83eec0 Add a CLI setup action to reset the magnetometer offsets
Since the magnetometer offsets are not available through the MAVLink parameter interface (since they are an AP_Var vector) this little feature allows them to be reset from the CLI.  Useful if you somehow get bad offsets or if you change magnetometer.  If you have a bad set of large offset values I have seen issues with the nulling algorithm have trouble converging to the proper values.  I have never seen it have trouble converging from 0/0/0, so this could be a useful feature from time to time.

Doug Weibel 9846822748 Bug fix for compass.
This is a fix for an interesting bug when a DCM matrix reset was added to the ground start.  This bug only showed up if (A) a ground start were performed after an air start or due to use of the "Calibrate Gryo" action, (B) if the current orientation were sufficiently different from 0/0/0, and (C.) if the particular magnetometer had sufficiently large offsets.  Why did resetting the DCM matrix to 0/0/0 pitch/roll/yaw at ground start cause a bug?  The magnetometer offset nulling determines the proper offsets for the magnetometer by comparing the observed change in the magnetic field vector with the expected change due to rotation as calculated from the rotation in the DCM matrix.  This comparison is made at 10Hz, and then filtered with a weight based on the amount of rotation to estimate the offsets. Normally it would take considerable time at normal in-flight rotation rates for the offset estimate to converge. 

If a DCM matrix reset occurs when the offset nulling algorithm is up and running, the algorithm sees the DCM reset as a instantaneous rotation, however the magnetic field vector did not change at all.  Under certain conditions the algorithm would interpret this as indicating that the offset(s) should be very large.  Since the "rotation" could also have been large the filter weighting would be large and it was possible for a large erroneous estimate of the offset(s) to be made based on this single (bad) data point.

To fix this bug methods were added to the compass object to start and stop the offset nulling algorithm.  Further, when the algorithm is started, it is set up to get fresh samples.  The DCM matrix reset method now calls these new methods to stop the offset nulling before resetting the matrix, and resume after the matrix has been reset.

tridge60@gmail.com ab04055c35 Compass: several fixes to compass calibration code
this changes the calibration code to require at least 5 good reads
from the compass during initialisation. The calibration is taken as
the average of the 5 values.

This also fixes the expected values for the 3 axes for the 5883 to
match reality.

We also save a bit of code space by adding a common rotate_for_5883L()
routine.
