Plane: improved RC failsafe handling
...
this forces all primary control inputs to the trim value on loss of RC
input, and reduces the timeout for loss of RC input to 1 second from 2

this reduces the roll limit by cos(pitch) and pitch minimum by
cos(roll). This prevents unreasonable attitudes in all stabilised
modes

this uses the new AP_SteerController steering controller developed for
the rover code to allow for ground steering of planes

to be a pure rate controller

Plane: Report MAV_STATE_ACTIVE if flying, MAV_STATE_STANDBY otherwise
...
(There are also various error states MAV_STATE_CRITICAL that are unchanged
by this check in).
The is_flying() check is similar to the code in suppress_throttle, but
I wanted to make it very optimistic on thinking we are flying - which is
not what you want for set_throttle...
(AC has similar MAV_STATE_ACTIVE vs MAV_STATE_STANDBY behavior now)

Plane: Auto Takeoff Check updates

43ffe91546
Plane: added FS_ACTION of 2 for glide
...
this allows people without specified settings in their receiver for
failsafe to choose FBWA zero throttle glide on throttle failsafe. That
can be a better choice when flying at a R/C club field
2013-09-15 15:05:39 +10:00

cc6acac1dd
Plane: added AUTO_FBW_STEER option
...
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics
competition where students need to pilot the plane, but they still
need waypoint triggering of payloads
2013-09-13 14:38:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell
f6688582a6
Plane: added FENCE_ACTION=3 behaviour
...
this makes it safer to enable the geofence as a receiver failsafe
mode. It retains manual throttle control, so if it triggers on the
ground due to the receiver losing signal from the transmitter then the
throttle can be kept low, preventing an unexpected takeoff.
