Four different types of digital low-pass filters can be configured inside the
|
|
autopilot configuration file. The types of filter are:
|
|
|
|
* Exponential
|
|
* Double exponential
|
|
* Moving average
|
|
* Noise spike filter
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
<filter>
|
|
<name>pressure-rate-filter</name>
|
|
<debug>false</debug>
|
|
<type>double-exponential</type>
|
|
<input>/autopilot/internal/pressure-rate</input>
|
|
<output>/autopilot/internal/filtered-pressure-rate</output>
|
|
<filter-time>0.1</filter-time>
|
|
</filter>
|
|
|
|
This will filter the pressure-rate property. The output will be to a new
|
|
property called filtered-pressure-rate. You can select any numerical property
|
|
from the property tree. The input property will not be affected by the filter,
|
|
it will stay the same as it would if no filter was configured.
|
|
|
|
<name> The name of the filter. Give it a sensible name!
|
|
|
|
<debug> If this tag is set to true debugging info will be printed on the
|
|
console.
|
|
|
|
<type> The type of filter. This can be exponential, double-exponential,
|
|
moving-average or noise-spike.
|
|
|
|
<input> The input property to be filtered. This should of course be a
|
|
numerical property, filtering a text string or a boolean value does not make
|
|
sense.
|
|
|
|
<output> The filtered value. You can make up any new property.
|
|
|
|
These are the tags that are applicable to all filter types. The folowing tags
|
|
are filter specific.
|
|
|
|
<filter-time> This tag is only applicable for the exponential and
|
|
double-exponential filter types. It controls the bandwidth of the filter. The
|
|
bandwith in Hz of the filter is: 1/filter-time. So a low-pass filter with a
|
|
bandwith of 10Hz would have a filter time of 1/10 = 0.1
|
|
|
|
<samples> This tag only makes sense for the moving-average filter. It says how
|
|
many past samples to average.
|
|
|
|
<max-rate-of-change> This tag is applicable for the noise-spike filter. Is
|
|
says how much the value is allowed to change per second.
