Copter: small correction to RTL_ALT_FINAL param description
12 years ago

Copter: added CH7 switch to enabling/disable the sonar in flight
...
This indirectly switches surface tracking on/off which is useful to
avoid tracking the tops of uneven objects when far above the ground

Copter: added experimental LOITER_REPOSITIONING #define to config.h
...
APM_Config.h should be used to overriding the standard parameters but
they still require a definition in config.h or they will be undefined
when built by the mission planner.

Copter: relax altitude check in verify_takeoff
...
Previously we checked if the alt > target_alt but because there is
little to no overshoot with the new accel based alt controller this
check was failing for some users.

ArduCopter: bug fix to LAND flight mode not actually landing if initiated from failsafe
...
An hidden bit of failsafe functionality in the set_mode function was
switching the throttle mode back to THROTTLE_AUTO instead of
THROTTLE_LAND

ArduCopter: smooth throttle when switching from manual throttle to alt hold
...
new set_accel_throttle_I_from_pilot_throttle function copies the
difference between the pilot's throttle and hover throttle to the
accelerometer based throttle controller's I term.

ArduCopter: replace FS_THR_RTL_MIN_DISTANCE with wp_radius
...
This effectively means that an RTL kicked off by a failsafe will
immediately switch to LAND mode only if within 2 meters. Previously the
radius was much wider (15m).

...
Improved surface tracking by using slewed althold controller
Reduced sonar mode filter to just 3 elements to reduce lag but at the possible consequence of allowing sonar noise to creep through for people with margin sonar set-ups.

randy - you should please review these changes to make sure you wanted
to have the int16_t type in all of these structs, or how you want to
convert all these other integer types to int16_t if you do need it that
way.

ArduCopter: fixed minor bug in logging of parameter changes to dataflash

ArduCopter: Use 16-bit arithmetic when comparing event tick counters.
...
- On the ARM, once the tick counter wrapped, we stopped running events
because the wraparound case wasn't being handled correctly. Make
sure the comparison is 16 bits to prevent this.
