Andrew Tridgell f88f512dc6 Plane: relax controllers when disarmed
this prevents any remaining integrator from a previous flight stage from
affecting flight across a disarm
2017-10-29 18:15:20 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 8a4e84e099 AP_TECS: improved support for VTOL transitions 2017-10-21 18:50:50 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell bf0e1ac554 Plane: support LOITER_TO_ALT in quadplanes 2017-10-21 18:50:47 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell f656077a45 autotest: added more CMAC startup locations
this allows matching to RealFlight positions
2017-10-21 18:50:42 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 665cdee768 SITL: use thread for FlightAxis comms
this allows us to run SITL at a much higher framerate than RF can
provide, and results in the EKF being much happier
2017-10-21 18:50:40 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 77702c18a5 HAL_SITL: don't run IO at more than 100Hz
save some CPU for faster frame rates
2017-10-21 18:50:36 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell ec84fa0711 Plane: make mav_type in HEARTBEAT configurable
needed for qgc to setup for quadplanes
2017-10-20 15:39:44 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 62273d2c1f Plane: prevent controller windup on ground
when on the ground in an auto-throttle mode lik FBWB or CRUISE, we may
have the throttle suppressed. In that case we should not run the
multicopter controller on quadplanes, or it may build up control which
will then apply on takeoff. This is particularly severe for aircraft
that are not level on the ground, such as taildragger quadplanes

Rufus Wong add27e4b3b AP_Compass: Add break to prevent fallthrough of PIXRACER to PIXHAWK_PRO 2017-09-18 19:57:52 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 6e78d2af5a Plane: allow takeoff in guided then fw loiter
this allows for quadplane takeoff in GUIDED with Q_GUIDED_MODE=0. The
takeoff will be VTOL, but subsequent guided points will be fixed wing

Andrew Tridgell 3576e38858 Plane: allow changing of target altitude in GUIDED 2017-09-09 08:15:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 428233c8b4 Plane: limit pitch in transition to QLOITER and QLAND
when switching to QLOITER or QLAND when in forward flight, limit the
maximum pitch to prevent a sudden decelleration
2017-09-08 17:56:48 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 2e5c36361e Plane: smooth the transition to LAND_FINAL in quadplanes
this makes for a much smoother change to LAND_FINAL, without a jerk as
it changes vertical speed
2017-09-08 16:43:32 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 5ab3265ee6 Plane: fixed a problem with descent rate in landings for quadplanes
use xy controller instead of xyz controller, which prevents calling z
controller twice, which led to poor height control
2017-09-08 15:59:15 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell eafbdee118 AC_AttitudeControl: added a update_vel_controller_xy() API
this allows for just XY control of velocity for quadplanes
2017-09-08 15:58:59 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 3e4d50f026 Plane: added GUIDED takeoff for quadplanes
this allows takeoff in GUIDED mode in the same way as copters

Andrew Tridgell ff220d5348 AP_GPS: make SBF driver more robust
this fixes a crash bug in the SBF GPS driver where a badly formed packet
could cause crc16_ccitt to reference invalid memory

Andrew Tridgell 32ee618a8f AP_SerialManager: enable debug console use for other protocols
this allows SERIAL5_PROTOCOL to be set on FMUv2 and FMUv3 for use by
other protocols
2017-08-28 18:00:24 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell efa07ea6b5 HAL_PX4: allow uart5 to be used for non-nsh on FMUv2/FMUv3 2017-08-28 18:00:21 +10:00

Andrew Tridgell 992baa7026 RC_Channel: fixed bug in manual with TRIM == MIN
This fixes the bug described here:

https://discuss.ardupilot.org/t/arduplane-reverse-thrust-setup/18324/5

which otherwise would prevent output with TRIM == MIN or TRIM == MAX
2017-08-26 20:31:36 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 1b6d20db7f Plane: removed TRIM_RC_AT_START parameter
this option caused a lot more problems than it solved, and is buggy
2017-08-26 20:16:09 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 775b60f9a9 Plane: fixed bug in TRIM_AUTO
fixed trim for differential spoilers

Andrew Tridgell 186a1f4a0b Plane: cope better with more RC trim/min/max values
when min > trim we need to do RC scaling via rc_config. This loses the
ability to go beyond RC limits, but that can be coped with using
MANUAL_RCMASK
2017-08-02 12:49:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell c20ea87ef8 Plane: fixes from review
thanks Francisco

Andrew Tridgell 76818c1ff4 Plane: improve px4_mixer handling of servo trim/min/max 2017-08-02 12:49:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell bf6853d3fe Plane: implement MANUAL_RCMASK
this replaces the functionality of the old "with input"
aileron/elevator functions, but in a much more flexible way. It means
that people who want to fly in MANAUL mode will have the ability to
have full control of trims and mixing using transmitter mixers if they
need that functionality
2017-08-02 12:49:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 20bddf4d5a SRV_Channel: added copy_radio_in_out_mask() 2017-08-02 12:49:13 +10:00
Andrew Tridgell 0ebc7b5122 Plane: added AETR log message
this makes debugging mixers much easier
