Andrew Tridgell 2a3af369b6 DCM: buffer omega_I changes over 10 seconds
this buffers up _omega_I changes in _omega_I_sum over a period of 10
seconds, applying the slope limit only when _omega_I_sum is
transferred to _omega_I.

The result is a huge improvement in the ability of _omega_I to track
gyro drift over the long term.

Andrew Tridgell f27d85cb8d DCM: drop the 'drop z' method
the 'drop z' method reduced the impact of noise on omegaI, but it also
made us more sensitive to errors in accelerometer calibration and
scaling, as demonstated by the logs from Gabor here:

Simulation testing shows that the other noise suppression methods
applied in the DCM code, in particular the slope limiting on omegaI
the removal of the weighting and the upcoming use of a _omega_I_sum
buffer have reduced the impact of noise enough that we can now safely
include z in the acceleration calculation.

Andrew Tridgell 8e90aeea4e AHRS: added AHRS_YAW_P parameter
this allows users to change the yaw gain in DCM

Andrew Tridgell b549b88e5e AHRS: fixed error_yaw reporting with 2 MAVLink connections
when a user first connects with USB, and later switches to the
telemetry port without restarting we were getting zero for error_yaw
in the logs, as AHRS.get_error_yaw() was being called twice.

This ensures we give the last value after the counter is reset

Andrew Tridgell 4f82134a5e DCM: use the new rotate() method from AP_Math
this allows us to use a tested and optimised rotation method

Andrew Tridgell d4bb068d5b AHRS: adapt the DCM library to the AHRS framework 2012-03-19 17:29:02 +11:00
Andrew Tridgell 9d75ffeba1 AHRS: rename DCM and Quaternion implementions ready for AHRS class
this is the first step to creating a general AHRS class for ArduPilot
