Andrew Tridgell 59b44816ec GPS: replaced the GPS auto-detect mechanism
the old mechanism wasted most of the input bytes, and chewed a lot of
CPU, making it impractical to do GPS detection for a GPS attached
after startup

The new code is async, and detects a GPS by looking for a fully formed
packet with the right checksum for each GPS type

ensures k_manual channels used for bottle drop are initialised
correctly to trim output

Andrew Tridgell 5f3ffe4839 APM: switch to Randys new IMU rate control method
this drives the speed of the 50Hz loop by the number of samples
accumulated in the IMU. This should give much more consistent timing
in DCM.

Thanks to Randy for introducing this scheme in ArduCopter!

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

to preserve the altitude
2012-09-10 09:40:29 +10:00
Craig Elder 90b74f5bab APM_RC: fixed noisy PWM output on startup for APM2
This reduces the number of rubbish pulses on the APM2 PWM output pins
on startup, which should help with booting some cheaper ESCs.

Thanks to Randy for the idea!
