With RTL_AUTOLAND=1 we navigate to HOME then to the DO_LAND_START commands. Now with RTL_AUTOLAND=2 we head directly to the DO_LAND_START commands and thus skip changing altitude to ALT_HOLD_RTL and head directly to the first land waypoint as if it was the next normal waypoint.
- const values declared as default double
- This is the first pass in fixing the warnings, trying to catch some low hanging fruit. All const double values are changed to float. For example: 1.0 is now 1.0f.
- Only except is in location.pde where some double stuff is happening
- I did not change the exponentials 1e7 type stuff which should be 1e7f. A different commit
The is_flying() function is too simplistic to be used as a generic
status. Added a sticky heuristic method that depends on the arm
state. More thought should go into the boolean result of isFlying but
this is at least safer than the original method.
initialise mount on startup
use mount.has_pan_control method
remove calls to unimplemented mount.configure_cmd
remove call to update_mount_type which is now handled by mount lib
- rc_override_active is never set anywhere in the ArduPlane code; it's only used for Copter and Rover. Removing it significantly simplifies the failsafe code.
- modified code has been tested in SITL. Heartbeat and RC failures in AUTO, CRUISE, and RTL modes (covering the three cases in the failsafe check functions) have been simulated with FS_LONG_ACTN = 0, 1, and 2, FS_SHORT_ACTN = 0, 1, and 2, and FS_GCS_ENABL = 0, 1, and 2. In all cases the results are identical to those with the original code.
this calculates the aerodymanic load factor from smoothed airspeed and
uses it to limit roll to keep it below the level where the load factor
would take us past the aerodymanic limit of the airframe
