James Bielman 5631f865b2 Update floating point calculations to use floats instead of doubles.
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.

Robert Lefebvre 9e32d45d7b Change to the "Stability Patch" in Motors_Matrix in order to make it cover both the upper throttle range and lower, and also to cause it to raise/lower all motors when a single motor goes out of ranges. 2012-09-19 20:43:58 -04:00

rmackay9 acef75319c AP_MotorsMatrix: small bug fix to limit checking on remove_motor call. Fix thanks to Michael Peschel! 2012-07-16 00:38:58 +09:00
Robert Lefebvre 8ce9aae2f7 Instituting Yaw Differential on Multirotors. Intent is to stop "rise on yaw input".
Since motors with increasing speed due to yaw input seem to generate more thrust that motors that slow lose thrust, thus net thrust goes up, causing copter to climb.
Values are a guesstimate, proven out by test flying.  This could probably become a parameter.

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 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.
