Previously if set_mode failed it would return the copter to stabilize
mode. With this commit set_mode returns a true/false indicating whether
it succeeded or not so the caller can make the decision as to the
appropriate response which could be to stay in the current flight mode
or try another flight mode.
update_commands was being run in the medium_loop counter but it is
easier to understand the flow of the code if it is consolidated along
with other autopilot calls.
RTL fix so that if it starts rtl-ing from above 80m it returns home
while descending instead of descending at initial position.
add get and set_target_alt_for_reporting
lon_speed, lat_speed changed to float
do_takeoff, do_land now set roll-pitch, yaw and nav modes specifically
removed fast_corners functionality (may need to be reimplemented with
new inertial nav controllers)
Added set_yaw_mode to better control of yaw controller changes and variable initialisation.
Replaced AUTO_YAW mode with separate yaw controllers YAW_LOOK_AT_NEXT_WP, YAW_LOOK_AT_LOCATION, YAW_LOOK_AT_HEADING.
Pilot manual override of yaw causes yaw to change to YAW_HOLD (i.e. manual yaw) until next waypoint is reached.
Added get_yaw_slew function to control how quickly autopilot turns copter
Changed YAW_LOOK_AHEAD to use GPS heading and moved to new get_look_ahead_yaw function in Attitude.pde
Renamed variables: target_bearing->wp_bearing, original_target_bearing->original_wp_bearing.
Removed auto_yaw_tracking and auto_yaw variables and update_auto_yaw function as they are no longer needed.
Simplified MAV_CMD_CONDITION_YAW handling (do_yaw). We lose ability to control direction of turn and ability to do long panorama shots but it now works between waypoints and save 20bytes.
Consolidated RTL state to be captured by rtl_state variable.
Combined update_RTL_Nav and verify_RTL functions which performed the same function but one was for missions, the other for the RTL flight mode.
Renamed some RTL parameters and global variables to have RTL at the front.
Landing detector now checks accel-throttle's I term and/or a very low throttle value
removed unused waypoint_radius var
removed slow_wp
updated speed management system to maintain a constant acceleration or deceleration of 1m/s
changed version to 2.8.1a
Also fixed a small bug in the get_stabilize_pitch function in which it was using the roll (instead of pitch) to decide whether it should let the i term build-up or not.
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.
