Andrew Tridgell 8e656a60f2 APM: only copy manual channels in failsafe
this prevents non-manual channels changing value away from the trim
value on startup

Andrew Tridgell 77926a6965 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

Andrew Tridgell 0a9070e4fe APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled
2012-09-11 13:37:34 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 72e9c31c17 APM: added speed scaling to wheeled steering
this allows for a larger amount of steering control at low speeds
without causing osciallation after takeoff

Andrew Tridgell 29344e688d APM: reboot only works on the APM2 2012-09-10 11:50:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell d08bd4214b APM: added support for MAV_CMD_PREFLIGHT_REBOOT_SHUTDOWN
this allows for remote reboot of APM

Andrew Tridgell 57ac3f59f2 APM: fixed fetch of relative altitude waypoints
when we fetch relative altitude waypoints from APM to a file, we need
to preserve the altitude
2012-09-10 09:40:29 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell b374f604d6 APM: simplify radio_trim code
this removes the duplicate code. Throttle trim is not changed.

Andrew Tridgell a90182b9d8 APM: fixed throttle nudging
The nudge value depended on RC3_TRIM, which is not a reliable
value. It tried to only take effect when the throttle stick was above
50%, but if RC3_TRIM was high for some reason (say 1500) then it would
actually depress the throttle by a large amount, which could cause the
plane to stall.

This also adds a boolean option THROTTLE_NUDGE to allow disabling of
throttle nudging

Andrew Tridgell c50103ac35 APM: added mtk and mtk16 build targets
useful for testing non-auto gps detection

Andrew Tridgell 39346eac32 APM: prevent crosstrack from takeoff point after takeoff completion 2012-09-08 11:37:14 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 4219cb55ce APM: use ahrs.airspeed_estimate() in two more places
this applies the wind constraint

Andrew Tridgell b2a74951d1 APM: added RUDDER_STEER option
when enabled, this uses only the rudder to steer during takeoff and
landing, using aileron only for levelling
2012-09-08 10:07:03 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 9b2a2b2c2e APM: support DO_SET_SERVO command 2012-09-08 10:06:53 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 12c5e00db9 APM: added XTRK_MIN_DIST option
this allows you to disable crosstrack correction on short legs

Andrew Tridgell 88f4a3bc4a APM: allow serial buffer size to be configured
very useful for packet forwarding setups
2012-09-08 10:06:35 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 880404d062 APM: added forwarding of unknown MAVLink types 2012-09-08 10:06:15 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell a71cee4579 APM: accumulate mag readings during spare cycles in ArduPlane
With this change we average over 100 mag readings per compass.read()
call, which means we are reading the compass at over 1kHz instead of
10Hz. The noise reduction is huge.

Pat Hickey b52738662a APM_Config.h for ArduCopter/ArduPlane: better descr of APM2_BETA_HARDWARE 2012-09-05 15:36:57 -07:00
Andrew Tridgell 0be8349678 APM: obey pitch limits in FBWA as well
this means pitch limits are constrained by LIM_PITCH_MIN and
LIM_PITCH_MAX
2012-08-30 20:15:42 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell ae74db15e1 APM: fixed docs for LIM_PITCH_MIN 2012-08-30 14:55:08 +10:00

we where waiting on new_data that had no way of getting there.

Andrew Tridgell 332ad921cc APM: added new TELEM_DELAY parameter
number of seconds to delay telemetry

Craig Elder 3403e1b78d Arducopter: increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Arduplane:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking
Ardurover:  increased MAVLINK delay to 6s to reduce the chance of xBee bricking

Andrew Tridgell 7ab7770c3d APM: added the ability to forcibly crash the plane on OBC failsafe breach
this allows a user to setup the OBC failsafe system to forcibly crash
the plane (surfaces at limits, zero throttle) when the failsafe system
triggers. This is to allow APM to be used in the Outback Challenge. In
the OBC an external failsafe board also does this using the heartbeat
control pin, so this is an extra safety mechanism.

To prevent users accidentially triggering a crash, this code only
activates if FS_TERM_ACTION is set to to the magic value 42.

Andrew Tridgell 3f54b83238 APM: added ALT_CTRL_ALG parameter
this allows you to select different altitude control algorithms. The
current choices are for the default (automatic based on if airspeed is
available), or to force a non-airspeed algorithm

The idea is to make it possible to use airspeed for some things (like
wind speed, speed scaling) but not for alt control

Andrew Tridgell 16dd911547 APM: fixed another problem with DO_JUMP

Andrew Tridgell fc942b2ff9 APM: removed reset_I() and instead auto-reset integrator in PID library
this prevents us resetting key integrators on waypoint change, while
still preventing old integrators being used when a PID starts to be
used again
