Andrew Tridgell d11957718f MAVLink: removed the cpp part of the library
this was preventing building MAVLink 1.0 with the arduino GUI as we
can't set cpp defines
2012-04-24 22:24:58 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell eb5bc964d8 MAVLink: one more define for MAVLink 1.0 compat 2012-04-24 19:54:20 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0753782c49 MAVLink: re-add the XML message definitions
these are a very useful reference for the current headers in the code
2012-04-24 10:57:43 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5c067d5a03 MAVLink: imported new mavlink header updates
this fixes the camera control code which was broken by a previous
import

Andrew Tridgell e8f8115a8f APM_RC: added OutputCh_current() method
this allows logging of the actual servo output values. The radio_out
method previously used doesn't take account of the various override
mechanisms available via waypoints

Andrew Tridgell 2a3af369b6 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.

Andrew Tridgell f27d85cb8d DCM: drop the 'drop z' method
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

  http://diydrones.com/xn/detail/705844:Comment:834373

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.

rmackay9 11a384a7ff AP_Motors - allow tail servo to be reversed. Closes ArduCopter issue #228 2012-04-21 23:07:57 +09:00
rmackay9 c45b124cbe DataFlash_APM2 - moved CS_inactive call (which disables the dataflash) from the beginning to the end of all methods. This means the dataflash does not monopolize the SPI bus.
Also formatting changes to use tab instead of space. Sorry, should have done this as a separate check-in to the above changes.

rmackay9 f18ee75b5c AP_OpticalFlow - updated test sketch to allow testing of APM2 version 2012-04-21 20:11:18 +09:00

rmackay9 7bda35dc28 AP_OpticalFlow - moved most pin definitions into .cpp file 2012-04-21 20:09:15 +09:00

Adam M Rivera b500d9430f AP_AHRS_HIL.h: Fixed HIL build by adding missing public property. 2012-04-16 10:26:14 -05:00
Andrew Tridgell 8e90aeea4e AHRS: added AHRS_YAW_P parameter
this allows users to change the yaw gain in DCM
2012-04-16 20:55:13 +10:00
analoguedevices 28833ed1d6 added missing #include 2012-04-09 14:32:54 +00:00
rmackay9 c96dfb2108 AP_AHRS - changed parameter order to remove compiler warning 2012-04-09 17:37:11 +09:00
rmackay9 ef43da9b92 AP_Compass - changed parameter initialisation order to remove compiler warning 2012-04-09 17:37:02 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 985c967bb9 MAVLink: imported new mavlink headers
this adds local and remote radio noise levels
2012-04-08 12:22:17 +10:00
rmackay9 53827f2e92 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed stability patch issue in which it would not limit a motor's output unless an opposite motor had been defined. This would only have affected Y6 frames. 2012-04-07 12:16:12 +09:00
rmackay9 127a990509 AP_MotorsOcta - V Frame - test order fix spotted by David Wiens 2012-04-07 08:11:28 +09:00
rmackay9 f6e1509d05 AP_Motors - fixed last "shadowing" compiler warning caused by badly named parameter in auto_armed method. 2012-04-05 00:28:04 +09:00
rmackay9 1e20d7de88 AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed another compiler error regarding shadowing a variable. Fixed by removing those the angle and direction arrays which weren't even used 2012-04-05 00:24:56 +09:00
rmackay9 7a8973eaf0 AP_MotorsHeli - fixed compiler warning re move_swash function declared with int parameters in .h file but actually using int16_t in .cpp file. They're the same in arduino but perhaps the build checker is a little more strict that Arduino. 2012-04-05 00:06:33 +09:00
rmackay9 926211f0f0 AP_Motors - fix compiler warning re shadowing a variable caused by badly named parameter in armed function.
Another compiler warning fixed in AP_MotorsMatrix.cpp caused by declaring "i" twice.
2012-04-04 23:59:51 +09:00
rmackay9 b71877366e ArduCopter - AP_Motors library - added new library which has few advantages over current code:
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
     2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
     3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)

Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.

Andrew Tridgell 1fd1a55fa6 MAVLink: import change to txbuf as a percentage 2012-04-02 11:18:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4ddeb82b26 MAVLink: imported new headers, with RADIO packet 2012-04-01 21:44:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0c445101ff FastSerial: added set_blocking_writes() interface
this allows us to put a serial port into non-blocking mode, so that
writes that don't fit in the transmit buffer are dropped. This will be
used in flight to prevent stray printf() calls from causing large time
delays in the code

Andrew Tridgell 22ff8cb197 examples: fixed build of some examples with new AP_Declination code 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 504c53f746 Compass: added COMPASS_AUTODEC option
when this is 1 (which is the default), we will get the declination
automatically via the AP_Declination library

when it is 0 we will use the value configured by the user
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 927834106d AP_Declination: save some more memory by putting the declination keys in progmem
there was a comment saying this was too slow, but it actually costs
about 30 usec extra, which is trivial given the full auto declination
call costs 680 usec and its only called once per boot
2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 70d4280935 AP_Declination: added timing information to declination test 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 175352845c AP_Declination: fixed build under SITL 2012-03-30 14:25:27 +11:00
Adam M Rivera ca82350f17 AP_Declination_test: Updated test with better print messages. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 01b1e58f7d AP_Declination: Update LUT based on the changes that I made in the LUT generation code. This LUT is the final version that has no truncation. 2012-03-30 14:25:26 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 23f6093f05 AP_Declination: Updated comments to reflect new LUT size. 2012-03-30 14:25:06 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 50791a8b0f AP_Declination: Removed trailing zero deltas as they have no impact on the final value and only take up extra bytes. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera f35e447927 AP_Declination: Updated compressed lookup value table. Located 9 more failure points due to truncation on the packed LUT. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 72b70c394c AP_Declination: Found 7 of the 22 failure points and fixed them. The issue with those 7 was the way I originally packed the value array. The last delta values on some rows were getting truncated. The new number of failures is down to 15 - WIP. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 076192db51 AP_Declination: Updated test to run in 5 degree increments. Changed to only print failures and also print total pass vs total fail. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera 230ca1ddca AP_Declination: Moved check for y index of zero to after the y index is properly transformed. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera e0fa053c79 AP_Declination: The exception signs unpacking logic was incorrect. I was shifting a 1 value left y%8 which would have needed a the signs to be packed right to left. My packed signs byte was packed left to right (left most being the 0 position) so I needed to reverse the shifting. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera f66c6e16e4 AP_Declination: In order for the bitwise & operation to work, negative signs need to be represented by 1s instead of 0s. Changed so that negative signs are represented by a 1 in the packed signs array. Updated lookup logic to reflect this change. 2012-03-30 14:21:58 +11:00
Adam M Rivera d88b9e8ffc AP_Declination: Updated packed exception signs array. I had the signs packed incorrectly. 2012-03-30 14:21:57 +11:00
