Calibrate Servo Setpoints #235

Closed JCharante closed 6 years ago

JCharante commented 6 years ago

Calibrated new servo for use on Protobot. Note that due to geometry changes the value for "bottom" is more than for "up."

Tested on the bot. Thanks Julina, you're the best.

Hey guys....when geometry changes cause code logic to stop making sense, it's best to fix the logic right then. We don't want to get confused by this later when w're frantically fixing something at an event!

It makes perfect sense. When we want the servo up we send 0.2, when we want it down we send 0.87. I suppose we could add a comment to say that a higher value leads to the pointy thing on the end of the servo being lower and a lower value leads to it being higher.
