Hi,the pitching down after a bungee takeoff is definitely noticable, however from what you describe I'm not sure if that is the only effect you are seeing.But please note that AHRS_GRAVITY_UPDATE_NORM_HEURISTIC in v4.0 does not really have a big effect.
As already mentioned previously in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/paparazzi-devel/2012-08/msg00053.htmlyou can test the improved gravity norm heuristic from my int_cmpl_quat_gravity_heuristic branch which is up-to-date with v4.0 otherwise.Would be great to get some feedback on this as I can't test this with a real bungee takeoff myself.Cheers, FelixOn Sat, Sep 8, 2012 at 10:19 PM, Eduardo lavratti <address@hidden> wrote:
I have the same behavior.
i am using float_dcm and bungee but i think this is not due bungee.
this behavior occur if i engage auto2 when pitching up.
If i pitch up, stabilize altitude and engage auto2 this behavior not occur.
this seem that some I term are working but i not have time to search the cause.
i have to make this test.
takeoff in manual then engage auto2.
this will reset the integrator.

Marc, Christophe: initially, I thought it could be an AHRS related problem, but I'm think it's something else.(I'm using int_cmpl_quat and the AHRS_GRAVITY_UPDATE_NORM_HEURISTIC flag).
I think it's not related to AHRS because:- I had a look at the estimator (theta), and pitch seems to be correct.- If I lauch with the capatult, fly some time in manual, and engage AUTO2, diving also happens.- When I disable the airspeed from the airframe config file, everything seems to work (I say "seems" because I did only one try that was successful).Regards,Mitchell
2012/9/8 Christophe De Wagter <address@hidden>We have implemented the acceleration feedback inIt has flown several times, including catapult launches but with the complexity of all aspects involved (e.g. gps latency etc.) that is not a guarantee. If you would be so kind to help test it it would be highly appreciated.copy the file to your repo, add USE_AHRS_GPS_ACCELERATIONS to your airframe (should pop a message during compile)-Christophe

your problem seems to be an AHRS calculation thing related with the high acceleration at bungee take-off.
See the conversation one month ago: Subject: Re: [Paparazzi-devel] int_cmpl_quat and bungee takeoff
As a short note, I had a similar, but very light behaviour when hand throwing my Easystar also with Lisa/M. It does a little pitch down before starting to climb after the throw...
Probably we should look into the ACC signals for fixed wing..
Cheers
Marc
