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 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.

Jason Short 3ba6e1db7a Removed references to a takeoff timer 2012-05-29 11:28:40 -07:00
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 a3a90287f4 changed the way takeoff complete is figured. Looking for high throttle. 2012-05-29 11:25:04 -07:00
Jason Short 4ed48510dc reversed circle_WP calculation so the next_WP refers to the destination around the circle and circle_WP refers to the center. The intent is to make it easier to see via ground station. 2012-05-27 09:21:20 -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

rmackay9 eaeaa3811a ArduCopter: bug fix for reversing tri servo
Extended AP_MotorsTri class to take in pointer to rc_tail servo (rc_7) and we use this servo's REV parameter to determine whether to reverse the output to the tail servo or not
