Calibrate linear motor controller for straight wire without loops #538

Closed glopesdev closed 6 months ago

glopesdev commented 6 months ago

The linear motor controller parameters had to be updated following recent adjustments to the tether. Specifically, the extra loop and spring arrangement was removed and replaced with a straight wire.

The linear motor speed and current limits had to be increased to account for high-speed displacements past the arena centre, and the calibration of the arena centre itself also had to be adjusted for optimal operation.
