Check magnetic field prior to calibration routine #5

Open SloMusti opened 8 years ago

SloMusti commented 8 years ago

Prior to calibrating it would be good to implement a sanity check if magnetic field is sufficient and encoder generates valid results. Note the encoder may return magnetic field too high flag even if ti is too low.

Good thinking. I'll add something to automatically check the encoder diagnostics when I get a chance.

Based on #4 calibration routine should do a sanity check on the magnetic encoder values over one rotation, such that they change over the rotation for the full 16384 (2^14) range, else return a warning or error.
