I added inertial navigation based on the simulator data. This is an option only available if you compile with Arduino and set
#define INERTIAL_NAV ENABLED
in the APM_Config.h file.
This has been tested for one real flight and did not crash my quad, but consider it very alpha. The quad may be unpredictable at first until the error correction fixes poorly calibrated accels. Be Careful.
Most of the real work is in the inertia file, but the error correction, new variable defines and calibration calls are sprinkled throughout.
The Log should record RAW messages with special debugging values.
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2. Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2. Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code. Legacy users should see no difference.
Simplified set_servos_4 function which was responsible for calling "output_motors_armed" or "output_motors_disarmed" as this determination as to whether the motors are armed or not is handled within the AP_Motors class.
moved reading sonar to the 50hz loop so the Mode filter could do it's thing without causing so much latency

moved ground start to first arming
added ground start flag
moved throttle_integrator to 50hz loop
CAMERA_STABILIZER deprecated - now always on
renamed current logging bit mask to match APM
added MA filter to PID - D term
Adjusted PIDs based on continued testing and new PID filter
added MASK_LOG_SET_DEFAULTS to match APM
moved some stuff out of ground start into system start where it belonged
Added slower Yaw gains for DCM when the copter is in the air
changed camera output to be none scaled PWM
fixed bug where ground_temperature was unfiltered
shortened Baro startup time
fixed issue with Nav_WP integrator not being reset
RTL no longer yaws towards home
Circle mode for flying a 10m circle around the point where it was engaged. - Not tested at all! Consider Circle mode as alpha.

Before: -> After
Stabilize P –> Stabilize P (Use NG values, or 8.3 x the older AC2 value)
Stabilize I –> Stabilize I (Stays same value)
Stabilize D –> Rate P (Stays same value)
–> Rate I (new)
Added a new value – an I term for rate. The old stabilization routines did not use this term. Please refer to the config.h file to read more about the new PIDs.
Added framework for using DCM corrected Accelerometer rates. Code is commented out for now.
Added set home at Arming.
Crosstrack is now a full PID loop, rather than just a P gain for more control.
Throttle now slews when switching out of Alt hold or Auto modes for less jarring transitions
Sonar and Baro PIDs are now combined into a throttle PID Yaw control is completely re-written.
Added Octa_Quad support - Max

updated motor setup test to be sequencial pulses of the motors in CW order.
Fixed Mission scripting logic
fixed Free yaw error in neutral throttle
fixed D term issue with Baro hold - was too high
incremented firmware revision, removed frame var
removed setup show from startup
removed unused EEPROM functions
fixed broken demo mission
fixed non working loiter with delay

The trunk is unstable, so please be careful. I've made a lot of changes based on the Sparkfun challange. Most include how we handle things like altitude, but the mission scripting has also been updated as well.

I have moved Pitch_Max to a different part of the code. It was limiting SIMPLE mode which was bad. Now it only limits in Auto modes, RTL, LOITER, etc.
