v0.2.11

KiteControllers v0.2.11

Diff since v0.2.10

Changed

• use KiteModels v0.6.14, which defines the azimuth angle and the orientation differently and make the controllers and examples work with the new definitions
• bump KiteUtils to v0.9.6 The new version has new fields in the SysState struct that are used for logging.
• the constructor SystemStateControl()now needs the additional parameter v_wind
• the constructors WCSettings(), FPCSettings() and FPPSettings() now have the new argument update. If true,
  then the settings are loaded from the corresponding yaml file.
• do not use the function update_sys_state!() any longer because it is buggy
• reexport KiteUtils
• when executing bin/run_julia, always execute using KiteControllers before displaying the REPL
• make use of the environment variable "USE_V9"; if set, use a different (proprietary) settings file
• improve example parking_wind_dir.jl

Fixed

• fixed logging of the height and X, Y and Z
• plotting of the height is fixed in autopilot.jl

Added

• the menu with the examples can now started by typing menu()
• add the script parking_wind_dir.jl that tests the parking controller when the wind direction is changing
• add the script parking_controller.jl which implements a dual-loop parking controller. The inner loop controls the turn rate. It has an excellent performance.
• add the script test/menu.jl which allows to execute the manual tests, that display plots and fix the tests
