wave maker characterization

[ryancoe]

After completing #3 and #100...

1. Run a test matrix of regular waves with a range of frequencies and amplitudes (e.g., f = [1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4]Hz, A = [5, 10, 20, 30, 40]mm)
2. Compare amplitude measured by wave probes against the desire amplitude
3. Present results here (we'll decide a course of action at that point)

We will present this work in Section 7 of the HardwareX paper.

Note that we had originally conceptualized this issues a wave maker tuning activity. We will limit this issue to a first step of characterization and leave tuning to a separate issue.

I'm not 100% sure this is worth tackling. Not only did we observe significant capacitive coupling when touching the probes, but the data looks really noisy inconsistent to me: (position determined by encoder) plotted with: wavemakercharacterize.txt

You may be right @nickross4444. Could you upload a zip of the data for me to look at?

Data used for the previous plots:

P steps.csv D steps.csv

Other testing data: Open.loop.data.zip

Most recent and extensive dataset, collected during demo day:

@nickross4444 - These files are empty...?

Sorry about that @ryancoe, they should be correct now.
