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.
Added WP to Loiter_time so you can spec a specific location in the planner
added new Navigation alg. Should perform better (doesn't rely on 45° flow fields like last one)
Added "Jump" counter so missions don't get overwritten in flight.
removed I term by default for Rate pitch and roll
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.

Change the way Rate nav works. we now take into account both forward *and lateral* rates. The signs may be backward so be careful! Let me know if the quad shoots off to one side and I'll flip the signs.

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.

Added camera reversing parameters in AP_Var
Added RTL Throttle Hold set/check
Added dynamic speed control to slow down as you reach waypoints and RTL Home
upped Yaw Dead zone slightly.

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

new Loiter PIDs
tuned down control on standard frame
shunk the mixing range for sonar from 3 meters to 2 meters
added framework for Guided mode - not tested!
removed pitch and roll deadzone
decoupled SIMPLE mode from LOITER PIDs
Synced Mavlink with APM
Logs report correct WP number now.
disabled Sonar spike filter.

Fixed Mavlink issue
Added look at home option for SIMPLE mode. Off be default. Untested.
Upped performance of Yaw.

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
Made minor change in Loiter to check something.
Motor LEDs enabled. Let me know if they work OK.
Armed Motors is now Solid to match GPS behavior.

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.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1920 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
better handling of sonar at angles and baro mixing. - optimized for flats.
Crosstrack test bug found and fixed.

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.

Added AP_Var Fingerprint checker. Will not let users fly with OOD firmware.
Tweaked Yaw to give better response. Let me know how it goes. It looks fine, but I've not flown it.
