Jason Short 0bb7acb6fe Arducopter
Lowered WP speed default to 500. 600 was quite high once the nav routines were fixed and quad could achieve that speed.

Jason Short 9e796899e4 Airspeed patch:
pre-calculated airspeed resistance pitches copter automatically to gain a certain speed allowing the speed controller to work off of a better set point - similar to Alt hold.
added param tilt_comp with a default of 54 which equals 19.5° of pitch to go 6m/s
upped Z and Y target speeds to int32_t for speed squared calculation

Jason Short 71111a5816 Stabilization patches
removed Angle error limit for stabilization
constricted Iterm to +- 5° error and limited the implementation to when the quad is +- 5° from center
doubled the output limit for Rate controller.
increased default Rate_P gain to .18 with matching Rate_D of .004
Tested in the SIM and in backyard. dramatically increases performance and quad no longer overshoots and flips when pushed hard.

Robert Lefebvre a9349a6e87 More CopterLEDS changes.
Merged CopterLEDS and Piezo functions to eliminate pin conflict on APM2.  Created new Parameter bit to turn piezo function on and off from MP. Moved GPS and Aux pin assignments to allow commonality between APM1 and 2.  Set LED_Mode parameter default to 9 in order to make CopterLEDS completely backwards compatible with old Motor LEDS and Piezo code.  Legacy users should see no difference.

Adam M Rivera 0727955fe3 ArduCopter: Changed implementation of configuration value for automatic declination. There is now a FORCE_AUTOMATIC_DECLINATION_UPDATE that when enabled will update the declination on every GPS 3D fix regardless of whether or not the user saved a value to the EEPROM.

Jason Short 43b3e1ccd1 ACM -
Implemented automatic ranging of Alt Hold gains. Works well in simulator and testing.
- alt hold estimation moved to 50 hz
- simple fixed observer calc for smooth and accurate climb rates useful for derivative calcs
- auto-reset of the I term by moving I value into throttle value. This recalcs the gain every 20seconds for battery drainage compensation in long flights.
- remove filtering for Nav_throttle
- added a way to lower the gain on nav_throttle for descents by / climb_rate error by 2 - seems to work OK and keeps copter from dropping like a rock when the Baro drifts quickly lower.
- removed old throttle hold set point code
- made throttle override for alt hold +- 200 vs 250

Jason Short a3daae1530 Added Loiter_D to replace Nav_P for better separation of loiter and navigation tuning.
Upped Nav_P defaults to 3 based on windy flight testing
Added minimum WP speed define of 1m/s
Upped loiter_I for better wind performance - was not seeing any overshoot in logs
Made Nav_I default of 0, since we are not using it in the code.

Doug Weibel 2ea9db84e0 Update battery monitoring code for ArduCopter
Fixes compatibility for APM2.  Also a significant update to the battery monitoring code:  We previously had monitoring modes for individual cell voltages for 3 and 4 cell lipos.  These have been removed as they were never really supported (the cell voltages were computed but were not reported or recorded anywhere).  Also, some clean-up/prep work was done for supporting monitoring 2 separate battery packs.  The CLI battery and current monitoring tests were consolidated into 1 test.
