jasonshort ed5c7d01b1 New PIDs - I rewrote the control laws from scratch to add a PI Rate function. The end result should fly nearly identically to the current version. The nice detail is that we can use NG PID values for easy transition!
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

jasonshort d3c1f5c307 Big update from Field testing.
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.

jasonshort 9e01cf9eb9 updates to get alt hold from 2.0.7.
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.

jasonshort 7e843ee679 Warning!!! The recent build 1919 was tagged as sparkfun.
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.
