/*
 * Init and run calls for autotune flight mode
 *
 * Instructions:
 *      1) Set up one flight mode switch position to be AltHold.
 *      2) Set the Ch7 Opt or Ch8 Opt to AutoTune to allow you to turn the auto tuning on/off with the ch7 or ch8 switch.
 *      3) Ensure the ch7 or ch8 switch is in the LOW position.
 *      4) Wait for a calm day and go to a large open area.
 *      5) Take off and put the vehicle into AltHold mode at a comfortable altitude.
 *      6) Set the ch7/ch8 switch to the HIGH position to engage auto tuning:
 *          a) You will see it twitch about 20 degrees left and right for a few minutes, then it will repeat forward and back.
 *          b) Use the roll and pitch stick at any time to reposition the copter if it drifts away (it will use the original PID gains during repositioning and between tests).
 *             When you release the sticks it will continue auto tuning where it left off.
 *          c) Move the ch7/ch8 switch into the LOW position at any time to abandon the autotuning and return to the origin PIDs.
 *          d) Make sure that you do not have any trim set on your transmitter or the autotune may not get the signal that the sticks are centered.
 *      7) When the tune completes the vehicle will change back to the original PID gains.
 *      8) Put the ch7/ch8 switch into the LOW position then back to the HIGH position to test the tuned PID gains.
 *      9) Put the ch7/ch8 switch into the LOW position to fly using the original PID gains.
 *      10) If you are happy with the autotuned PID gains, leave the ch7/ch8 switch in the HIGH position, land and disarm to save the PIDs permanently.
 *          If you DO NOT like the new PIDS, switch ch7/ch8 LOW to return to the original PIDs. The gains will not be saved when you disarm
 *
 * What it's doing during each "twitch":
 *      a) invokes 90 deg/sec rate request
 *      b) records maximum "forward" roll rate and bounce back rate
 *      c) when copter reaches 20 degrees or 1 second has passed, it commands level
 *      d) tries to keep max rotation rate between 80% ~ 100% of requested rate (90deg/sec) by adjusting rate P
 *      e) increases rate D until the bounce back becomes greater than 10% of requested rate (90deg/sec)
 *      f) decreases rate D until the bounce back becomes less than 10% of requested rate (90deg/sec)
 *      g) increases rate P until the max rotate rate becomes greater than the request rate (90deg/sec)
 *      h) invokes a 20deg angle request on roll or pitch
 *      i) increases stab P until the maximum angle becomes greater than 110% of the requested angle (20deg)
 *      j) decreases stab P by 25%
