This patch reduces the level of 5Hz and 10Hz 'pulsing' heard in motors due to GPS and altimeter fusion which cause a small 5Hz and 10Hz ripple on the output under some conditions. Attitude, velocity and position state corrections from GPS, altimeter and magnetometer measurements are applied incrementally in the interval from receiving the measurement to the predicted time of receipt of the next measurement. Averaging of attitude state corrections is not performed during periods of rapid rotation.
Time stamps are now explicitly initialised to the current IMU time to avoid unwanted activation of timeout logic on filter start and the various calls to the hal.scheduler->millis() object have been consolidated.
Unused variables have been removed
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected.
The position state should be reset to a GPS position corrected for velocity and measurement latency. This will make a noticeable difference for high speed flight vehicles, eg 11m at 50m/s
Re-initialisation of the magnetic field states and yaw angle is now only performed a maximum of two times after start-up.
Once when coming out of static modefor the first time (first arm event)
Again (for copter only) when the altitude gain above the arming altitude exceeds 1.5m
this prevents magnetic interference present at arming (eg arming on a metal roof)from corrupting the magnetic field states enough to cause bad heading errors and toilet bowling on copter
when a change altitude command comes in while a large glide slope
altitude change is present we could end up using the old glide slope
with the new altitude. This resets the altitude offset, causing a
direct altitude change
using OVERRIDE_CHAN would cause a baro reset as it would mean we are
temporarily disarmed, and the "reset baro and GPS when disarmed" check
would reset the baro
Now we only do the mixer update if disarmed
