Andrew Tridgell b0cdf8952b Plane: added HIL_MODE parameter
this allows for HIL with any firmware
2015-03-13 22:52:56 +11:00
Tom Pittenger 58b0702793 Plane: isFlying redesign
The is_flying() function is too simplistic to be used as a generic
status. Added a sticky heuristic method that depends on the arm
state. More thought should go into the boolean result of isFlying but
this is at least safer than the original method.

Andrew Tridgell 98b583bccc Plane: fixed bungee launch
we need to not do the general purpose throttle suppression if in auto
takeoff

2014-11-16 14:41:03 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e4ca0e1c5c Plane: fixed comment on negative flaps 2014-11-14 11:29:33 +11:00

2014-11-13 14:06:00 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 58fd72944d Plane: honor TKOFF_THR_MAX in set_servos()
fixes issue #1555
2014-11-13 11:35:28 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c8060cb9f7 Plane: use load factor to limit nav_roll_cd
this calculates the aerodymanic load factor from smoothed airspeed and
uses it to limit roll to keep it below the level where the load factor
would take us past the aerodymanic limit of the airframe
2014-11-12 13:36:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 71d786187e Plane: make auto takeoff independent of compass
this solves a problem of poor initial yaw due to poor compass offsets
causing a takeoff to not be in the direction the plane is pointing. A
summed gyro is used until the GPS speed is above 5m/s for 2 seconds,
then the GPS heading corrected by the summed gyro error is used for L1
based navigation for the rest of the takeoff

easier control of flaps for takeoff and landing
2014-08-29 20:31:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b94bc0c243 Plane: don't use ground steering until flare in landing
we need to be able to guide the plane fully in the landing approach
2014-08-29 20:31:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b102c9d19c Plane: use ground steering logic for final stage of auto landing
this should improve runway tracking
2014-08-27 17:14:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell daa32f9b62 Plane: reset steering integrator on mode change and when not moving
this prevents an old integrator from causing problems on takeoff
2014-08-25 08:20:37 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2a288824c0 Plane: make STAB_PITCH_DOWN in degrees

2014-08-06 17:59:18 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b64ab07ca4 Plane: added STAB_PITCH_DN_CD parameter
this adds some down trim when at throttle levels below the trim
throttle in FBWA mode.

defaults to 200 centi-degrees. I may adjust based on flight tests

when TKOFF_THR_SLEW is zero use the normal slew rate
2014-05-31 16:47:45 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d87619c2f1 Plane: added 4 new parameters to control takeoff

Andrew Tridgell c9ebd6a175 Plane: improved RC failsafe handling

input, and reduces the timeout for loss of RC input to 1 second from 2
2014-03-08 16:20:54 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2cf98e476c Plane: added support for a separate steering channel

Andrew Tridgell 17c9cedac1 Plane: send out HIL servo updates as soon as we can
this improves the servo responsiveness of HIL a lot
2013-11-23 18:50:57 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 56f574684d Plane: fixed throttle failsafe with reversed throttle 2013-11-17 15:32:53 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 231b5ab793 Plane: prevent too large combined pitch/roll angles
this reduces the roll limit by cos(pitch) and pitch minimum by
cos(roll). This prevents unreasonable attitudes in all stabilised
modes

2013-10-12 13:30:27 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 536fbb4a30 Plane: if pilot gives aileron input then disable ground steering
