we don't send MSG_LOCATION in HIL mode during GPS updates, as we don't
call the GPS update routines, so we need to send MSG_LOCATION as part
of the Position stream

defaults for these are already in config.h, but protected with #ifndef
wrappers. The #ifndef wrappers are useful to allow users to have
makefile targets for different configs, so you can (for example), do
"make heli" with a local makefile
This makes it easier for developers to ensure that all configs build
correctly
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2890 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
this makes most of the variables and functions in the main
ArduCopterMega.pde code static, which allows the compiler to optimise
better, and exposes unused variables as compiler warnings

this saves a little bit of code by moving the calculation of the
default log bitmask to compile time from runtime
(merge from APM)

set LOGGING_ENABLED to DISABLED to disable all logging. This saves
about 10k of flash when disabled.

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
Fixed issue with AUTO not getting proper input.
Added Limit to high side of motors

this allows you to create a local makefile like this:
include Makefile
hil:
make -f Makefile EXTRAFLAGS="-DHIL_MODE=HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE -DSERIAL3_BAUD=115200"
and then use 'make hil'
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2843 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
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

we were looking for the wrong regA value
Thanks to Chris for the debugging help! (and happy birthday!)

this adds error checking to all operations on the compass, to ensure
that we don't accept invalid data
This also fixes the calibration values for the 5883L to match the
recommended values in the spec
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2815 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Slighted tuned down D term in Loiter PIDs after testing, tuned up P slightly
fixed alt hold bug cause when gaining 3D lock in alt hold.
Mavlink now reports correct throttle scaling value in mavlink

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.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2722 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
this fixes a compass initialisation bug where if the first value from
the compass isn't in the right range we would set bad calibration
scaling factors.
This also changes the maximum acceptable calibration values to 2000,
which is needed for the 5883 compass

Reverted to prior Rangefinderlib in case that was causing bad sonar readings.
reduced crosstrack gains and max angle to avoid overshoots and oscillations.
added additional D gain to Loiter hold to prevent overshoots
added D gain to WP_nav to avoid speed oscillations
upped navigation speed to 6m/s from 4.5m/s
