Randy Mackay f6ff1742d5 Copter: landing detector checks baro climb rate
Barometer climb rate must be -150cm/s ~ +150cm/s
This threshold is generous because we already use the inertial
navigation climb rate so this is just to catch cases where inertial nav
is very incorrect in it's climbrate estimates

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.

Randy Mackay 224122958c Copter: reduce throttle to min once landed in RTL
This catches the case where the vehicle lands but the user doesn't

Randy Mackay a12d9109e0 Copter: remove thr check during init_arm_motors
This check is redundant now that we have a check within the arm_check()
function.
Removing this check does raise a slight danger that someone could raise
the throttle after arming but before the gyro and baro calibration has
completed but the delay has been greatly shortened from what it once was
so there is much less danger that someone could approach the vehicle
during the short arming delay.

Randy Mackay 28f31166b9 Copter: land check gets overall throttle and rotation rate check
add check that overall throttle level is below the non-takeoff throttle
instead of just checking that it's motors have hit their lower limits
because low limits can also be caused by high yaw rotation requests.
Absolute climb rate requirement reduced to 30cm/s
2014-09-04 15:21:51 +09:00
Randy Mackay 05a37dd54d Copter: add short delay to arming to allow RC input
The short delay gives time for the RC inputs to be processed which
removes the chance of a false-positive on the "late frame" radio check.
A false positive could lead to an immediate disarm right after arming.

could result in the vehicle taking off if the user picked it up.
