Subsystem/ins
INS subsystem
The INS (Inertial Navigation System) subsystem specifies which position and velocity estimation algorithm you are using.
Most of the INS filters are only providing position and speed, and they need to be used together with an AHRS filter for attitude. Currently, only the experimental invariant filter is a full INS.
Currently possible AHRS subsystem types are
- alt_float
- gps_passthrough
- xsens
- xsens700
- no_type
- hff
- extended
- ardrone2
- float_invariant
e.g. for the extended filter:
| File: conf/airframes/myplane.xml |
<firmware name="fixedwing or rotorcraft">
...
<subsystem name="ins" type="extended"/>
</firmware>
|
Implementations
alt_float
Filters altitude and climb rate for fixedwings.
A 2-state Kalman filter that estimates vertical position and vertical velocity from GPS and barometric data.
When USE_BAROMETER is true:
- GPS horizontal position and horizontal velocity is directly passed through
- GPS vertical position sets the altitude for the barometric reference pressure (QFE)
- Vertical position and velocity is a filtered based on barometric pressure with respect to the reference pressure and GPS vertical velocity readings.
When USE_BAROMETER is false or undefined:
- GPS velocity is directly passed through to the vehicle's state.
- GPS horizontal position is directly passed through.
- Altitude is filtered based on GPS height and vertical velocity data.
Parameters
USE_BAROMETER - Enables the use of barometric data
DEBUG_ALT_KALMAN - Enables debug messages from the subsystem (Default: not defined)
