a76e2ab02e
Plane: reserve NavEKF slot in param list even when not used
...
Although this wasn't a problem immediatley, if someone had added a
parameter after k_param_NavEKF it's position in eeprom could have moved
as AP_AHRS_NAVEKF_AVAILABLE was enabled/disabled

081510d37a
Plane: added ACRO_LOCKING parameter

497c95de8e
Plane: Add support for rally points.
...
Added parameter RALLY_TOTAL.
Added handlers for new MAVLink messages RALLY_POINT and
RALLY_FETCH_POINT.
defines.h modified to make room in EEPROM to store rally points.
rally.pde added and is responsible for ensuring rally points get
stored in the correct spot in EEPROM.
Multiple Rally/RTL point support now done. If rally points have
been defined, then when RTL mode is entered, the closest Rally
point is chosend and the plane loiters at that point.
Note only 10 rally points can be defined; this is to save space in
the APM's EEPROM.

...
this is an unusual option that gives FBWA flight control in AUTO
mode. It is being added to support use of APM in an aerial robotics

...
set to 1 for the new APM_Control library
2013-05-05 21:51:09 +10:00
de3fcbc413

not used with L1
2013-04-15 10:52:32 +10:00
70a186464b

instead select a roll limit for takeoff and landing
2013-04-12 21:59:52 +10:00
11eb0cfce1
Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
...
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.
Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

this allows for real servo output in HIL
2013-03-30 14:38:43 +11:00
7db7d7db77
Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
...
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter
This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change
2013-03-28 10:27:25 +11:00
f077f54e6a
Plane: added TKOFF_HEAD_HOLD option
...
this allows control over whether ArduPlane tries to hold heading
during auto takeoff. For hand launches it can be better to hold the
wings level and not attempt to hold heading during takeoff to prevent
the possibility of a stall during the climb out.
Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for the feedback that led to
this option.
2013-03-27 10:27:14 +11:00
