Jason Short e261c62e6b Inertial Nav disabled by default 2012-06-13 22:37:52 -07:00
Jason Short 6dc1e02f76 Inertial Control
I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.

This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.

Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.

The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.

rmackay9 3618ac62e0 ArduCopter: made Robert's new yaw method optional (off by default).

rmackay9 826cffe688 ArduCopter: Ensure update_GPS does nothing when gps is disabled.
This fixes a bug in which an APM without a GPS would not work because it would constantly scan for a valid GPS long after it should have given up and moved on.

2012-06-03 16:58:19 +09:00
rmackay9 df3fb5c041 ArduCopter: fixed print_latlon bug in which it would print negative lat/lon numbers incorrectly (i.e. -1234567890 would be printed as -124.xxx). 2012-06-02 12:51:12 +09:00
Jason Short 477aa6e47a RC_Channel fix for throttle output.
throttle was outputting incorrectly and allowing the user to max out the throttle leaving nothing for attitude control

Jason Short 394f8c6eb0 pulling throttle low in flight turns out to be more common than thought. Removed clearing of takeoff_complete flag. This is still cleared during disarm which is automatic after 30 seconds of no throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00

Jason Short e2086decc6 Arducopter.pde : setting rtl_approach_alt above 1 would force auto landing even if auto-landing was disabled. 2012-05-23 22:00:56 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 1fc8347af3 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair
2012-05-23 17:33:33 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5b5d43f5d0 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs

Robert Lefebvre a9349a6e87 More CopterLEDS changes.
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2.  Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2.  Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code.  Legacy users should see no difference.
