Andrew Tridgell 5a4ed85588 AP_TECS: added TECS_LAND_PMAX
this limits maximum pitch during the flare, which both reduces
integrator windup and prevents too high pitch which can cause a stall

Andrew Tridgell 569626ac1a AP_TECS: fixed APM2 build 2015-03-16 08:40:18 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 060f553097 AP_TECS: provide a much smoother transition before flare
this moves the pitch constraint smoothly between unconstrained and
fully constrained over two time constants before the flare. This
greatly reduces the sudden pitch changes at flare

Andrew Tridgell 4e5510c99e AP_TECS: fixed warning 2015-01-01 15:14:48 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 597273cfff AP_TECS: remove lag from height demand in landing
this predicts ahead the height demand for landing, where we have a
continuous demanded descent. This removes the effect of the lag
introduced by the height demand filters

priseborough e2d47f836e AP_TECS: Fix bug causing plane to fly high on landing approach
The introduction of the height rate flare logic caused the demanded height rate to be zero except when a flare manouevre was being performed. This caused the plane to lag behind height changes if the D gain was non-zero, which caused it to fly high during landing approach.

Andrew Tridgell bf591b0008 AP_TECS: take load factor into account in min airspeed
this will push up minimum airspeed when turning

Andrew Tridgell 2b48434e60 AP_TECS: fixed throttle demand on underspeed

priseborough d6508acfa5 AP_TECS : Prevent throttle undershoot after climb
If the plane was unable to achieve the climb and got significantly below the internal TECS demanded climb profile, the the PD term would be a large value at the top of climb, and would take some time to reduce due to the rate limiter. This meant that the integrator state could be pushed to a very low value and effectively cause the throttle to sit on the lower limit for longer than desired after levelling out.

Andrew Tridgell b495905da5 AP_TECS: fixed some warnings 2014-10-22 18:27:18 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell a6ca11facf AP_TECS: allow zero throttle in flare for landing 2014-08-30 05:14:57 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6c1eed0a20 AP_TECS: bring in flare sink rate more slowly
this should reduce pitch overshoot in the flare
2014-08-30 05:13:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7547cd45f5 AP_TECS: bring the flare height rate demand in slowly
bring it in over 0.5s to give less of a bounce
2014-08-27 20:13:01 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 500e20b08d AP_TECS: make TECS aware of LAND_PITCH_CD
this makes the flare a bit smoother
2014-08-27 20:11:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 68dd61c7c7 AP_TECS: added TECS_LAND_TCONST
this allows control of the time constant for landing in TECS. A lower
time constant gives tighter altitude control on landing approach
2014-08-27 17:14:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2297c6bcd2 AP_TECS: added TECS_LAND_SINK parameter
this controls the sink rate for the final stage of landing

Andrew Tridgell c990714377 AP_TECS: added get_max_climbrate() 2014-08-07 09:29:31 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 7c4d31c481 AP_TECS: added TECS_PITCH_MAX and TECS_PITCH_MIN
this allows the TECS controlled pitch limits to be smaller than the
FBWA limits. It is common for a human pilot to want a bit more
discretion over pitch than you want the automatic controller to use

Andrew Tridgell a55c4e2296 AP_TECS: set target airspeed, not min/max airspeed, on landing
this seems to prevent ballooning of the altitude when we are in the
landing approach, and gives a much smoother landing
2014-03-20 17:34:39 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 98530928b5 AP_TECS: make target landing speed a float
some users may want more precise control

Michael Day bd7e1b82e1 AP_TECS: Auto landing now takes throttle_nudge into account. 2014-03-20 17:34:26 +11:00
Michael Day 861690dea2 AP_TECS: New params LAND_ARSPD and LAND_THR auto-slowing landings.
Also controlling pitch by ignoring height error during landing.
This serves to keep the nose up.

Paul Riseborough 585d61b960 AP_TECS : Reduce tendency to overspeed during climbout
The old code relies on the action of the integrator to raise the nose above the minimum pitch angle which depending on the model and the tuning can be too slow to correct. Biasing the pitch angle to climbout minimum will reduce the taken before an overspeed condition is corrected.

Paul Riseborough 34f0af25cc AP_TECS : Improvements and bug fixes to feed-forward throttle demand
This fixes a bug in the feed-forward throttle that prevented the bank to throttle compensation from working properly during descents.
It also adds bank to throttle compensation to the non-airspeed sensor throttle algorithm.
