Pat Hickey 1c00d1ffe3 ArduPlane: Fix effect of ELEVON_REVERSE
* Previously, the ELEVON_REVERSE parameter was equivelant in function to the
  ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE parameter. These parameter values are found in
  g.reverse_elevons and g.reverse_ch1_elevon, and used to map to the radio_out
  channels in ArduPlane/Attitude.pde
* It seems the author's intent was for ELEVON_REVERSE to change the sign for
  the combination of pitch & roll into ch1 & ch2, as there are already
  parameters which change just the sign of ch1 and just the sign of ch2.
* Discovered this bug because I happened to build an elevon airframe which was
  not possible to setup with the existing ELEVON_ and RCn_REV parameters.
* This will break existing elevon setups if the user used ELEVON_REVERSE
  instead of ELEVON_CH1_REVERSE, since they were previously interchangable.

Andrew Tridgell d9457ecc38 MAVLink: send time of GPS fix accurately
when we send a GPS_RAW message, set the usec field to the time we got
the fix from the GPS, not the current time. This makes it possible for
aerial photo processing to be more accurate, as the usec field with
more accurately reflect the planes position/time pair

Andrew Tridgell 66544a5db2 Log: don't print '+' while erasing logs
we no longer do page based erase, so printing a + every 128 pages
makes no sense

Andrew Tridgell b3aa704c49 AirSpeed: added parameter ARSPD_USE
setting ARSPD_ENABLE to 1 and ARSPD_USE to 0 allows the airspeed
sensor to be initialised and logged without it being used for flight
control. This is very useful when initially testing an airspeed sensor
in a new plane. It also makes it possible to enable/disable the use of
the airspeed sensor during a flight at any time.

Andrew Tridgell f43f5900bc Telemetry: make it possible to use UART2 on APM2
building with TELEMETRY_UART2=ENABLED allows you to use the solder
bridge on the APM2 to enable telemetry on UART2. This allows both USB
telemetry and a radio at the same time.

Andrew Tridgell 7b50724f60 MAVLink: allow for find grained stream rate control
streams can now be requested at any multiple of 20ms. So if you ask
for a stream at 7Hz then you will get it at close to 7Hz.

Andrew Tridgell e0bb7e2777 MAVLink: don't waste 100 bytes of bandwidth sending 1 byte of information
the GPS_STATUS message is a massive waste of bandwidth, but it is the
only message that tells us the number of visible satellites. So only
send it if that information changes.

This makes MAVLink work better at low baud rates

Andrew Tridgell 87ed39ea46 APM: use set_blocking_writes(false) when we have done ground start 2012-03-30 17:46:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell b4107d35e8 MAVLink: raise the serial transmit buffer size to 256 bytes
the 128 byte serial transmit buffer was causing significant problems
with queueing of mavlink messages. With 256 bytes we can fit a lot
more messages out in each pass of the code, which makes telemetry more
efficient

As we discussed on the dev call, we now have enough free ram for this
to be worthwhile

Andrew Tridgell 0248b48d30 allow MAG_ENABLE to be changed in flight
this disables the compass in DCM if MAG_ENABLE is changed in
flight. Without this we would use a fixed yaw once the compass is
disabled

This also makes sure we don't pass the compass to DCM till we have
done a read. This ensures we have a good compass fix for the initial
DCM heading

Andrew Tridgell c14097ffa1 APM: changed hold_course for landing to be based on yaw_sensor
when we are in the final stages of a landing (less than 2 seconds from
landing waypoint, or less than 3m above landing altitude) we switch
the navigation to use a fixed course. The code previously used the
crosstrack_bearing for this, but this can lead to a large nav_roll in
this final stage of the approach, which can put a wing into the
runway. In autotest we were seeing a nav_roll value of -45 degrees as
we crossed the transition point for the landing, which often led to a
crash.

This changes the code to use the current yaw_sensor value instead,
which is much less likely to lead to large rolls in the final landing
stages.
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell c662140a2b APM: report the nav_bearing as hold_course when enabled
this gives a more accurate view of the navigation code, as when
hold_course is not -1 it overrides nav_bearing
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 330ff5dc8b APM: added some comments related to hold_course
hold_course is either -1 (for disabled) or a course to hold for
takeoff/landing. This makes the code a bit clearer.

It also resets hold_course in all non-auto modes, to ensure it isn't
used
2012-02-15 08:50:45 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 11835508a7 when setting airspeed and groundspeed in a mission, don't save to EEPROM
If you include airspeed, throttle or groundspeed changes in a mission
then those should not be saved to EEPROM, as otherwise if you restart
and re-fly the mission you will be starting with different parameters
to the ones you used for the first flight.

This is particularly important for setting the target airspeed when
coming in for a landing. You typically set a low target, but if you
fly again the next day I think it would be a real surprise to find
that your loiter airspeed has then changed to the value from the
landing part of your last mission.

This one can be argued either way, but I think that not saving these
changes is the more conservative choice, and better fits the
'principal of least surprise'
