Removed Baro Init in Auto Mode.
increased Rate Error limit on Alt Hold
Slightly decreased alt P to reduce pulsing motors
Added rate limit for nav so we can reduce initial pitch to target.
Using MINIMUM_THROTTLE value to test for Reseting Alt Hold now.
Fixed extra Log formatting statement in CTUN.

added separate reset for rate based nav. This allows Wind and throttle Iterms to avoid being cleared when moving between nav modes.

moved reading sonar to the 50hz loop so the Mode filter could do it's thing without causing so much latency
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@3094 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872

RTL no longer yaws towards home
Circle mode for flying a 10m circle around the point where it was engaged. - Not tested at all! Consider Circle mode as alpha.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2966 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Added Yaw control when descending in Alt hold

Adjusted RTL behavior to do speed control up to 4m to home, then go into Loiter
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2872 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Before: -> After
Stabilize P –> Stabilize P (Use NG values, or 8.3 x the older AC2 value)
Stabilize I –> Stabilize I (Stays same value)
Stabilize D –> Rate P (Stays same value)
–> Rate I (new)
Added a new value – an I term for rate. The old stabilization routines did not use this term. Please refer to the config.h file to read more about the new PIDs.
Added framework for using DCM corrected Accelerometer rates. Code is commented out for now.
Added set home at Arming.
Crosstrack is now a full PID loop, rather than just a P gain for more control.
Throttle now slews when switching out of Alt hold or Auto modes for less jarring transitions
Sonar and Baro PIDs are now combined into a throttle PID Yaw control is completely re-written.
Added Octa_Quad support - Max
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2836 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872

git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2695 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.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2579 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Includes updated motor tests. These need to be verified.
Nav loiter D was added (.03) - verify this helps.
Nav_lat is now filtered for Rate control. This is to keep jerky pitching to a minimum.

Cleanups, better logs for Alt hold, yaw debugging
I tuned up Hein's Hexa Yaw. I think we may need to adjust Yaw gains based on Frame type.
Crossing fingers, the next rev is the final.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2381 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872

fixed D term issue with Baro hold - was too high
incremented firmware revision, removed frame var
removed setup show from startup

fixed broken demo mission
fixed non working loiter with delay
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2275 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872

Mavlink - only cosmetic tweaks
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2254 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
The trunk is unstable, so please be careful. I've made a lot of changes based on the Sparkfun challange. Most include how we handle things like altitude, but the mission scripting has also been updated as well.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1920 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
better handling of sonar at angles and baro mixing. - optimized for flats.
Crosstrack test bug found and fixed.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1916 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Takeoff now works well.
better logging.
tuned down kD for Yaw - was causing some bad behavior.
Auto mission now resets when entering mode.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1914 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Logs updated to do better Yaw Debugging
Landing is now rate limited
updated command desctiption.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1911 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
I have moved Pitch_Max to a different part of the code. It was limiting SIMPLE mode which was bad. Now it only limits in Auto modes, RTL, LOITER, etc.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1899 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
Added AP_Var Fingerprint checker. Will not let users fly with OOD firmware.
Tweaked Yaw to give better response. Let me know how it goes. It looks fine, but I've not flown it.
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1878 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
turned off altitude interpolation for now.
removed the "Dampener" setting in config. Using less confusing kD instead.
removed throttle_cruise reset in events.pde for RTL - would cause a crash.
added I term for pitch/roll for when flying greater than 20°
git-svn-id: https://arducopter.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@1868 f9c3cf11-9bcb-44bc-f272-b75c42450872
