 2018-03-16 13:50:57 +09:00

 2017-11-05 20:44:42 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 21164ef409 Plane: added tailsitter surface speed scaling

as when descending or rapidly climbing
 2017-11-05 17:05:08 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 552faa8f67 Plane: smoother tailsitter transitions

new FW to VTOL transition state
 2017-10-30 16:30:38 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell af893ddde7 Plane: implement Q_OPTIONS

quadplanes, and for level flight to be maintained during quadplane
transitions
 2017-10-30 16:30:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8178ab4037 Plane: make mav_type in HEARTBEAT configurable

thanks to Marco for finding this issue
 2017-09-07 07:22:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6eaad59115 Plane: improve vectored tailsitter takeoff

allowing the motors to point straight up for easy takeoff

thanks to Leonard for the idea!
 2017-05-07 09:10:44 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b1f1ace736 Plane: support vectored yaw tiltrotors 
this adds support for tiltrotors which control yaw by vectoring the
forward motors. This avoids the need for the rear motor on a
tilt-tricopter to have a tilt servo
 2017-04-24 16:54:41 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2d9c3e3d93 Plane: added EKF yaw reset handling to quadplane 
this follows the implementation from copter. Thanks to Leonard for the
suggestion
 2017-04-24 16:52:16 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 88e02c7b35 Plane: log the throttle mix for quadplane copter control 2017-04-19 09:08:43 +10:00

adds Q_TAILSIT_VHGAIN and Q_TAILSIT_VFGAIN, allowing for thust
vectoring in both fixed wing and hover
 2017-04-11 17:34:40 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 664e41cec6 Plane: bring in demanded climb rate over 1 second 
when we engage the Z controller in quadplane we bring in the climb
rate slowly to prevent a sudden change in motor demand
 2017-04-09 16:45:19 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 36d8f730e1 Plane: setup better defaults for tailsitters 2017-04-04 10:15:08 +10:00

 2017-03-25 16:22:10 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e3a8d477f5 Plane: improve tiltrotor transition strategy 
avoid running forward motors at high throttle when transitioning to a
VTOL mode
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3f7e7d456f Plane: in fixed wing mode slave quadplane attitude rate controller 
For quadplanes this uses the attitude controller from fixed wing
when using the multicopter controller to assist fixed wing
flight. This prevents a rate mismatch between the two controller
leading to oscillation
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 2db8589f49 Plane: smarter Z controller initialisation for quadplanes 
this is more generic than the previous one used only for the full
position controller
 2017-03-14 14:42:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c061d5615b Plane: added manual input mask for tailsitter prop-hang 
This adds new parameters Q_TAILSIT_MASK and Q_TAILSIT_MASKCH. These
parameters allow a user to use the tailsitter capabilities of a 3D
plane to teach themselves to prop-hang.

It works by allowing the user to setup a switch on their transmitter
to enable manual pass-thru of a set of the input channels to outputs
when in tailsitter hover. The user can then use that switch to allow
learning of hover control in a 3D plane one channel (or two channels)
at a time.
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 3bb25eb194 Plane: added Q_TAILSIT_INPUT 
this allows the user to control tailsitters either in body frame (like
a plane) or in earth frame (like a multicopter). This is useful for
people wanting to learn to fly prop-hang on 3D planes
 2017-02-26 09:20:13 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ea5186340b Plane: added Q_TILT_RATE_UP and Q_TILT_RATE_DN as separate parameters

always allow at least 90 degrees/second for switching to MANUAL
 2017-02-25 17:53:26 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell e8b11924f8 Plane: split out the tailsitter transition complete code 
use both roll and pitch to trigger completion of transition. This
copes with situations where the plane has managed to get itself rolled
over far enough that it can't recover into hover
 2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c787f4c56f Plane: initial support for tailsitter transitions 2017-02-18 17:26:43 +11:00

Mathieu OTHACEHE 152edf7189 Global: remove mode line from headers 
Using a global .dir-locals.el file is a better alternative than
reincluding the same emacs header in every file of the project.
 2016-10-24 09:42:01 -02:00

 2016-08-16 12:53:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 63317e9430 Plane: added throttle suppression for quadplanes
