Altitude Sensing Reversed #11

Closed chris-ali closed 8 years ago

chris-ali commented 8 years ago

Climbing in the simulation results in a decrease in the altitude (down) state and vice versa.

As of ebdd4206c63cbb07af47bc4c28a4b2072bd0a146 the altitude sensing is reversed. Since inertial frame also follows body coordinate convention (North, East, Down), Down_dot needs to be negated to show the right sign of change in altitude.
