priseborough 8223a0d193 AP_NavEKF : Explicitly initialise gpsNoiseScaler to default value 2014-10-01 12:55:29 +10:00
priseborough b61a6c64d7 AP_NavEKF : Reduce weighting on GPS when not enough satellites
GPS measurement variance is doubled if only 5 satellites, and quadrupled if 4 or less.
The GPS glitch rejection thresholds remain the same
This will reduce the impact of GPS glitches on attitude.

priseborough f99f5759f5 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in GPS innovation variance growth calculation
The uncertainty in acceleration is currently only scaled using horizontal accelerations, however during vertical plane aerobatics and high g pullups, misalignment in angles can cause significant horizontal acceleration error.
The scaling now uses the 3D acceleration vector length to better work during vertical plane high g maneouvres.
This error was found during flight testing with 8g pullups

priseborough f0ee11e951 AP_NavEKF : Fix bug in reset of position, height and velocity states
If the inertial solution velocity or position needs to be reset to the GPS or baro, the stored state history for the corresponding states should also be reset.
Otherwise the next GPS or baro measurement will be compared to an invalid previous state and will be rejected. This is particularly a problem if IMU saturation or timeout has occurred because the previous states could be out by a large amount
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.

Randy Mackay e7b4a02d26 GPS: fix SIRF set-binary message
This fixes an issue in which the the update rate for the mediatek, which
uses a similar protocol, was not being set correctly

Randy Mackay dbe1c55666 AC_WPNav: add shift_wp_origin_to_current_pos for takeoff
This shifts the origin to the vehicle's current position and should be
called just before take-off to ensure there are no sudden roll or pitch
moves on takeoff.

Randy Mackay 5ca3c4baf6 Mission: fix CHANGE_ALT to store climb rate in lat param
The slightly confusing storage of climb rate in the lat field led to a
bug fix a few months ago that actually created a bug.

Thanks to roque-canales for raising the issue and paradisephil for finding
the specific piece of code that went wrong and suggesting the fix.

Randy Mackay d4cfb432ca Copter: use disparity threshold define for pre-arm checks
There are two duplicate checks, one in the pre-arm checks (i.e. checks
run every 15 seconds or so before the vehicle is armed) and one in the
arming checks (run immediately before arming).  The definition in the
pre-arm checks was still using the old hardcoded value.
