TerrainDetector ArduPilot Lua script

Uses gyro and accelerometer data to detect rough terrain and slow the
vehicle's speed accordingly during auto missions.

Provides a set of custom tuning parameters:
ROUGH_SPEED     : (m/s) rough terrain desired speed, set to -1 to disable detection
ROUGH_TIMEOUT_MS: (ms) min time to remain slowed down for rough terrain
ROUGH_GZ_MAX    : (G) slow down on Gz impulses greater than this value
ROUGH_RATE_MAX  : (deg/s) slow down on rate transients greater than this value

These gain values are used for smooth terrain detection.
Smaller values (less than 1.0) are more restrictive about resuming normal speed.
ROUGH_GZ_GAIN   : Gz impulse gain
ROUGH_RATE_GAIN : gyro transient rate gain

CAUTION: This script is capable of engaging and disengaging autonomous control
of a vehicle.  Use this script AT YOUR OWN RISK.
