Made the Acro mode more NG like. Should be much more nimble!
Tweaked the Accel hold with sim tests. not flight tested or enabled by default.
added option to set scalar in angle boost
restored 42 alt hold code
removed throttle timer, replaced with safer constant
increased alt control range
reformatted nav_rate calls
removed unused simple mode defines
set alt hold home to 10m
tuned down rateP to .13 from .14 for broader application.
Changed timing to be more accurate in main loop. Still need to switch to micros(). Left that for Tridge. This gets rid of six floating point calcs *250. Nice!
Removed Baro Init in Auto Mode.
increased Rate Error limit on Alt Hold
Slightly decreased alt P to reduce pulsing motors
Added rate limit for nav so we can reduce initial pitch to target.
Using MINIMUM_THROTTLE value to test for Reseting Alt Hold now.
Fixed extra Log formatting statement in CTUN.

added separate reset for rate based nav. This allows Wind and throttle Iterms to avoid being cleared when moving between nav modes.

moved reading sonar to the 50hz loop so the Mode filter could do it's thing without causing so much latency
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3094 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
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.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2966 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Added Yaw control when descending in Alt hold
lowered kP & kD for Alt hold a tad
Adjusted RTL behavior to do speed control up to 4m to home, then go into Loiter

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
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2836 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Fixed Mavlink issue
Added look at home option for SIMPLE mode. Off be default. Untested.
Upped performance of Yaw.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2695 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
changed Yaw to be offset from current angle to avoid the kick back.
Made minimum motor speed user settable, upped to 13% (130)
tweaked alt hold D to be higher and P to be slightly lower.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2579 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Includes updated motor tests. These need to be verified.
Nav loiter D was added (.03) - verify this helps.
Nav_lat is now filtered for Rate control. This is to keep jerky pitching to a minimum.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2448 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Added Octo Support
Fixed Loiter issue regarding Yaw towards loiter location
Added Yaw control alternative for testing
decreased Yaw deadband to +-5°
revved to 2.0.10
