This is probably not correct because we should be sending the throttle as a 0 to 1 number using the full possible output range. This uses the reduced range passed in when the copter is being stabilized (i.e. between throttle-min and throttle-max)
Previously the range was throttle_min (normally 130) to 1000 but we can remove this awkward range and use 0 to 1000 now that the attitude controller and motor library inputs are in the 0 to 1 range.
this is the descent rate for the first part of a landing. Separating
this from WPNAV_SPEED_DN allows for independent tuning of fast fwd
flight from landings
Currently we need to build a different binary for each type of copter frame.
This is a preparation for setting all those binaries to a group called
"copter". We create the groups for the rest of the main products for
consistency.
The is commit adds a new flight mode called 'Throw' to Copter that enables the copter to be thrown into the air to start motors. This mode can only be netered when the copters EKF has a valid position estimate and goes through the following states
Throw_Disarmed - The copter is disarmed and motors are off.
Throw_Detecting - The copter is armed, but motors will not spin unless THROW_MOT_START has been set to 1. The copter is waiting to detect the throw. A throw with an upwards velocity of at least 50cm/s is required to trigger the detector.
Throw_Uprighting - The throw has been detected and the copter is being uprighted with 50% throttle to maximise control authority. This state transitions when the copter is within 30 degrees of level.
Throw_HgtStabilise - The copter is kept level and height is stabilised about the target height which is 3m above the height at which the throw release was detected. This state transitions when the height is no more than 0.5m below the demanded height.
Throw_PosHold - The horizontal motion is arrested and the copter is kept at a constant position and height.
