The problem with using min() and max() is that they conflict with some
C++ headers. Name the macros in uppercase instead. We may go case by
case later converting them to be typesafe.
Changes generated with:
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/\([^_[:alnum:]]\)max(/\1MAX(/g'
git ls-files '*.cpp' '*.h' -z | xargs -0 sed -i 's/\([^_[:alnum:]]\)min(/\1MIN(/g'
Now variables don't have to be declared with PROGMEM anymore, so remove
them. This was automated with:
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/ PROGMEM / /g'
git grep -l -z PROGMEM | xargs -0 sed -i 's/PROGMEM//g'
The 2 commands were done so we don't leave behind spurious spaces.
AVR-specific places were not changed.
Surround calls to rcout->write() with rcout->cork() and rcout->push().
If the RCOutput implementation allows the writes are grouped and only
sent together to the underlying hardware.
This commit changes the way libraries headers are included in source files:
- If the header is in the same directory the source belongs to, so the
notation '#include ""' is used with the path relative to the directory
containing the source.
- If the header is outside the directory containing the source, then we use
the notation '#include <>' with the path relative to libraries folder.
Some of the advantages of such approach:
- Only one search path for libraries headers.
- OSs like Windows may have a better lookup time.
Remove all RC Input channels passed as reference into AP_Motors. All input handling self-contained inside AP_Motors.
Rework Tricopter to use internal servo calcs.
In AP_MotorsTri.cpp the AP_MOTORS_MOT_1, _2 and _4 constants are
always mapped to actual output channels through _motor_to_channel_map
while the _CH_TRI_YAW is not, but there were a few inconsistencies
in this that could lead to things like PWM min and max values being
set on wrong channels.
It looks like all in all _motor_to_channel_map being in PROGMEM
probably doesn't help save memory and I'm not sure how useful it is
in the first place but regardless the usage should be consistent.
limit.throttle_lower flag becomes true when the throttle passed into the
motors lib (which is in the 0 ~ 1000 range) is below _min throttle.
This makes the interpretation of the THR_MIN parameter consistent
between the main code (which uses 0 ~ 1000 range) and the motors lib
(which previously used the RC3_MIN ~ RC3_MAX range).
The remaining problem however is that the output of the motors continues
to use THR_MIN as if it were a pwm. I don't believe this is a dangerous
problem however.
Removes the "Increase opposing motors by 1/2 the overage of the high
motor" logic and merely moves all 3 motors down by the same amount if
one is over out_max. This eliminates the asymmetric scaling of
the previous logic when more than one motor is over out_max. This
resolves#537
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.
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
1. it's step towards rearchitecting the current code base ahead of a move to RTOS.
2. internally it uses a MatrixTable for the Quad, Octa, OctaQuad, Y6 frames.
3. it implements the missing stability patch for Octa and OctaQuads (still missing for Y6)
Later check-ins will incorporate into the main ArduCopter code.
