Andrew Tridgell 575f346e85 Plane: removed HIL_MODE_ATTITUDE
we really need full sensors for HIL with the L1 controller. The flight
is also _much_ better with sensors HIL.

Andrew Tridgell 11eb0cfce1 Plane: update for new AP_Navigation controller class
this switches ArduPlane over to use the L1 navigation controller, via
a generic nav_controller object pointer.

Note that the nav_controller controls all types of navigation now,
including level flight and heading hold. This provides a cleaner
abstraction than the old method of special case navigation handling

Andrew Tridgell dfb14d760b Plane: added HIL_SERVOS option
this allows for real servo output in HIL

Andrew Tridgell 7db7d7db77 Plane: change FBWB altitude control algorithm
this makes FBWB much less sensitive to airframe tuning. When the
elevator stick first goes neutral it locks in the current altitude as
the target altitude. When the elevator stick is off neutral, it moves
the target altitude in proportion to the elevator, at a rate goverened
by the new FBWB_CLIMB_RATE parameter

This prevents the aircraft from slowly drifting in altitude in FBWB,
and gives a more intuitive control mechanism for altitude.

Thanks to Chris Miser from Falcon UAV for help in designing this
change

Randy Mackay c2055557f5 Plane: add support for GPS fix type 2D 2013-03-27 11:41:51 +09:00
Andrew Tridgell 87c6545ac6 Plane: don't trigger GCS failsafe if GCS never connected
The we have never received a heartbeat message from the GCS then don't
use the lack of heartbeat to trigger a failsafe event

Andrew Tridgell 9f70c6c70d Plane: make CIRCLE mode hold altitude
this will prevent us losing a lot of altitude during the initial
failsafe phase

Andrew Tridgell feca411943 Plane: added new TRAINING mode
this mode gives manual control when the roll or pitch is within the
set limits (the same limits as FBW mode), and prevents the pilot from
flying beyond those limits, essentially a "attitude limited manual"
mode

Andrew Tridgell 7e672628ea APM: removed the GPS_enabled flag
this fixes using GPS_PROTOCOL to specify a specific GPS with a GPS
that takes a few updates before it works (eg. needing baud rate
changes).

This makes it easier to use an APM1-1280 with more features enabled

Andrew Tridgell a446a7a9ed APM: allow serial buffer size to be configured
very useful for packet forwarding setups

Andrew Tridgell dcbd0fbd44 APM: cleanup throttle suppression code and don't use airspeed to unsupress
this removes the throttle suppression when any of the conditions are
met once, as otherwise flying slow below 10m could zero the throttle.

It also removes the use of airspeed for disabling throttle
supression. Otherwise a strong gust of wind can cause ArduPlane to
try to takeoff!

Andrew Tridgell d445482ace APM: added optional use of new APM_Control library
