Adds a new angle limiting mode for pilots who are learning to fly in acro mode. Primarily targeted at new LOS acro pilots, but can be used with FPV as well.
The feature is activated with a new mode named "ACRO TRAINER". When the feature is active, the craft will fly in normal acro mode but will limit roll/pitch axes so that they don't exceed the configured angle limit. New pilots can start with a small angle limit and progressively increase as their skills improve.
The accelerometer must be enabled for the feature to be configured and function.
Also the feature will only be active while in acro flight and will disable if ANGLE or HORIZON modes are selected.
For most users all they need to do is simply configure the new mode to be active as desired on the "Modes" tab in the configurator and configure the desired angle limit in the cli.
Configuration parameters:
acro_trainer_angle_limit: (range 10-80) Angle limit in degrees.
acro_trainer_lookahead_ms: (range 10-200) Time in milliseconds that the logic will "look ahead" to help minimize overshoot and bounce-back if the limit is approached at high gyro rates. The default value of 50 should be good for most users. For low powered or unresponsive craft (micros or brushed) it may be helpful to increase this setting if you're seeing substantial overshoot.
acro_trainer_debug_axis: (ROLL, PITCH) The axis that will log information if debugging is active.
To enable debugging:
set debug_mode = ACRO_TRAINER
debug(0) - Current angle
debug(1) - The internal logic state
debug(2) - Modified setpoint
debug(3) - Projected angle based gyro rate and lookahead period
During team relay races it's unsafe to retrieve crashed quads because the course is continuously hot. In order to safely fly a backup quad with the primary quad crashed in the field (but powered up) it's necessary to:
* Disable arming, so that the crashed quad doesn't unintentionally arm as well. This is specifically a problem when a transmitter can send signals to all powered up receivers (like FrSky and others).
* Change VTX to an unused channel with low power output
* Turn off telemetry
This change introduces a new mode called paralyze which disables arming and prevents mode changes (except beeper). It can only be invoked while the quad isn't armed. Once it's invoked, the FC has to be power cycled. In order to invoke it, the mode needs to be in a disengaged state at least once, so that forgetting to flip the switch back after crashing doesn't immediately invoke graveyard on the backup quad.
