previously the user would use the LOITER_UNLIMITED or LOITER_TIME mission commands to specify that the vehicle should remain active at the destination. This was cumbersome and not the best way to specify this behaviour because these two commands are valid for regular rovers that should not try to remain active at the destination.
This separates the default/maximum speed used in Auto, Guided, RTL and SmartRTL from the CRUISE_SPEED which is used as the base for the speed-to-throttle controller (along with CRUISE_THROTTLE)
new mode class member _desired_speed_final holds target speed at destination
main vehicle code passes heading to next waypoint into auto mode.
we do not provide heading when delaying at waypoint which signals we wish
auto-mode calculates final speed at destination which allows vehicle to
make turn within value of WP_OVERSHOOT parameter assuming vehicle turns at
maximum lateral acceleration.
set_guided_WP replaced by mode_guided.set_desired_location
nav_set_yaw_speed replaced with mode_guided.set_desired_heading_and_speed
set_guided_velocity replaced with mode_guided.set_desired_turn_rate_and_speed
guided_control structure replaced with mode_guided members
use_pivot_steering accepts yaw-error argument instead of calculating it itself internally
move throttle_slew_limit and THR_SLEWRATE parameter
move have_skid_steering to library
move mix_skid_steering to library's output_skid_steering method
move radio.cpp's output channel initialisation to motor's init method
use motors.get_throttle and get_steering instead of getting from Servo objects
use motors.set_throttle and set_steering instead of setting to Servo object
AP_Arming::arming_required is replaced with SAFE_DISARM parameter
It is a very simply form of station keeping. If a boat is
loitering on a waypoint and it gets blown off a distance
past the WAYPOINT_RADIUS it will automaticlly drive back to
the waypoint.
Rover now accepts a new message MAV_CMD_NAV_SET_YAW_SPEED
which has an angle in centidegrees and a speed scale and the rover
will drive based on these inputs.
