AP_Param: major update to use default values in var_info table
...
this stores the default value for all scalar variables in the var_info
table, which makes it possible to avoid storing default values in
eeprom. That allows us to oversubscribe the eeprom space with a much
lower risk of overrun.

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.

AHRS: make DCM drift correction not rely on accurate yaw

this uses a new formulation of the GPS based drift correction from
Bill Premerlani that rotates the error vector to avoid relying on

even with lots of magnetometer interference
It also makes it possible to fly a multicopter with no compass. It can
even navigate and correct yaw (slowly!)

this allows us to use the MS5611 barometer at its full 100Hz sample
rate (80Hz for pressure, 20Hz for temperature). The pressure and
temperature values are averaged between reads without adding any
latency. Previously the driver would throw away values between
readings
This also fixes a race condition in reading from the SPI bus that
could lead to bad values from the barometer

AHRS: disable barometer for vertical acceleration
...
this seems to have been the cause of the 'flips' seen by Marco and
others. Testing by Craig and Alan shows that the flips are gone when
the barometric acceleration is removed.
It looks like a 5 point average filter is not enough to keep the
vertical acceleteration noise low. With high noise in the z axes, the
x and y axes are scaled back when the ge vector is normalised.

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.

AHRS: normalize the ge vector in drift correction, and use barometer
...
The normalisation ensures the error term scales uniformly with
different accelerations.
The barometer is used for vertical acceleration estimation
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00
c387edd74c
Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces
...
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity
The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
2012-06-27 16:01:50 +10:00

AHRS: first successful version of Bills new drift correction system
...
This makes 3 major changes:
1) fixes the scaling of the yaw drift correction term to fix the time
constant
2) don't integrate the mag vector over multiple readings
3) accumulate omega_I changes over 15 seconds before applying, to try
to prevent omega_I picking up short term responses

GPS: fixed the UBLOX parser to handle unknown messages
...
the parser was broken in several ways:
1) when it received an unknown message it didn't update the ck_a and ck_b fields, so it
thought the message had a bad checksum, which meant it got out of protocol sync
2) the read() method would return false if the last message from the GPS was of an unknown type.
So we relied on the last msg always being one that we understand and want
3) the parser considered any valid UBLOX message to be 'new data', whereas we only actually get
a new fix when we get box a new position and velned message
4) the total message size per update is more than 128 bytes, but the serial port was opened
with only a 128 byte buffer, so we got corruption regularly

gyro drift over the long term.

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.

MAVLink: imported new mavlink headers
...
this adds local and remote radio noise levels

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.

AP_Motors - fixed last "shadowing" compiler warning caused by badly named parameter in auto_armed method.

AP_MotorsMatrix - fixed another compiler error regarding shadowing a variable. Fixed by removing those the angle and direction arrays which weren't even used

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

AP_Declination: Removed trailing zero deltas as they have no impact on the final value and only take up extra bytes.
