Andrew Tridgell d404cc6542 AP_Baro: add set_external_temperature()
this allows the use of an external temperature sensor for calibration
purposes, such as the sensor built in to the digital airspeed sensor.

The main affect this has is on the EAS2TAS calculation

The get_calibration_temperature() is used to choose either an external
temperature or an internal one. If an internal one is used then it is
clamped at no higher than 25 degrees C, to prevent hot electronics
on startup affecting altitude scaling and EAS2TAS

Paul Riseborough 3b98bbd159 AP_Baro: more precise altitude calculation on PX4
if not using an AVR CPU then use a more computationally expensive
altitude calculation, which is more precise at higher altitudes

Randy Mackay aa2b10f044 AP_Baro: TEMP parameter comment fix 2013-06-18 11:28:36 +09:00
James Bielman 4fa7bb1486 Add AVR compatibility header for missing math.h definitions.
- Define float versions of math functions to the double versions
  on AVR (eg. #define sinf sin).
- These macros appear to be missing in older versions of avr-libs.
- Include AP_Math.h rather than math.h to get these definitions.

James Bielman 5631f865b2 Update floating point calculations to use floats instead of doubles.
- Allows use of hardware floating point on the Cortex-M4.
- Added "f" suffix to floating point literals.
- Call floating point versions of stdlib math functions.

Andrew Tridgell a7b9aff79f AP_Baro: the DerivativeFilter now handles duplicate data
this saves a few bytes of memory

Andrew Tridgell f501503eb0 AP_Baro: improved barometer averaging
this changes the barometer calculations to floating point. On a MS5611
this is actually about twice as fast as the previous 64 bit
calculations, but gains us more accuracy as we are able to take
advantage of sub-bit precision when we average over 8 samples.

Andrew Tridgell c387edd74c Baro: added get_altitude() and get_climb_rate() interfaces
this allows the barometer driver to calibrate and return altitude and
climb rate values. This will be used by the AHRS drift correction code
for vertical velocity

The climb rate uses a 5 point average filter
