Randy Mackay 45aeb1a921 Copter: split up loiter into 4 steps
Reduces disruption to the main loop but also introduces a delay of 30ms
to navigation output

Randy Mackay 2696e160e6 Copter: surface tracking improvement
Separate correction speeds for pilot input vs altitude-above-ground
errors to allow slower correction to sonar signals.
Change SONAR_GAIN parameter to be altitude error -> desired speed.  This
means it should be set 10x larger than before.
Replace hard-coded sonar cut-off percentage of 70% with
SONAR_RELIABLE_DISTANCE_PCT.
Reduce sonar cut-off percentage to 60%.
Add desired sonar altitude to dataflash log's CTUN message.

Robert Lefebvre 23ea151ca5 TradHeli: Fix Heli rate controller filter rates. 2013-07-19 16:16:10 +09:00
Robert Lefebvre b4863dc997 TradHeli: Change to throttle controller to allow swash plate collective to move, even if disarmed, if we are in Acro or Stab. This is slightly dangerous... as a user could cause a problem if they do not follow the proper usage procedures. If they do not route the ESC through the APM, but instead direct to Rx. And then if they do not Arm, they could take off in Stab mode while disarmed, but then when they switch to Alt_Hold, it will drop the collective to the bottom and they will fall. This can be saved by switching back to Stab. And it requires operation outside of the normal operating procedure.
This change is being made because most heli users expect to be able to check the swash plate operation before arming and taking off.

future.
