we were looking for the wrong regA value
Thanks to Chris for the debugging help! (and happy birthday!)

this adds error checking to all operations on the compass, to ensure
that we don't accept invalid data
This also fixes the calibration values for the 5883L to match the
recommended values in the spec

Slighted tuned down D term in Loiter PIDs after testing, tuned up P slightly
fixed alt hold bug cause when gaining 3D lock in alt hold.
Mavlink now reports correct throttle scaling value in mavlink

new Loiter PIDs
tuned down control on standard frame
shunk the mixing range for sonar from 3 meters to 2 meters
added framework for Guided mode - not tested!
removed pitch and roll deadzone
decoupled SIMPLE mode from LOITER PIDs
Synced Mavlink with APM
Logs report correct WP number now.
disabled Sonar spike filter.

this fixes a compass initialisation bug where if the first value from
the compass isn't in the right range we would set bad calibration
scaling factors.
This also changes the maximum acceptable calibration values to 2000,
which is needed for the 5883 compass

Reverted to prior Rangefinderlib in case that was causing bad sonar readings.
reduced crosstrack gains and max angle to avoid overshoots and oscillations.
added additional D gain to Loiter hold to prevent overshoots
added D gain to WP_nav to avoid speed oscillations
upped navigation speed to 6m/s from 4.5m/s

Fixed Mavlink issue
Added look at home option for SIMPLE mode. Off be default. Untested.
Upped performance of Yaw.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2695 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
added ability to alternate normalization and drift correction. Not fully implemented, needs further testing.

Fixed GCS updates,
Clear GCS Streamrates by default.
moved fast PWM functions to run all the time (for quads, experiment)
cleaned up Mavlink a bit.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2678 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
changed Yaw to be offset from current angle to avoid the kick back.
Made minimum motor speed user settable, upped to 13% (130)
tweaked alt hold D to be higher and P to be slightly lower.
