Names of menu "DR/EXPO" and "LIMITS" should be changed #125

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
"DR/EXPO" and "LIMITS" are outdated names. They don't reflect the possibilies 
of Open9x (and, so, could be ambiguous) :
- Open9x don't have dual-rates but multi-rates with expo/curve and flight phase 
differentiation
- LIMITS menu include also subtrims, PPMCA and symetrical option for gains

Furthermore, theses menu's names are not really self-explanatory (unlike 
"SETUP, "FLIGHT PHASES" or "MIXER" for example) as they don't tell the 
objectives of the menus concerned : "DR/EXPO" is to modify sticks orders, 
"LIMITS" si to modify servos throws.

So, I would suggest to use :
- "STICKS CURVES" instead of "DR/EXPO"
- "SERVOS ADJUSTEMENT" instead of "LIMITS"

I am not sure about changing the names, people could be lost. But in another 
hand, having the right names is something good.

The names you suggest seem too long to me (and to the screen). What about:
- STICKS
- OUTPUTS

Same, not sure. STICKS would be fine, as would be OUTPUTS or SERVOS.

But my worry is that (new) people won't find DR/Expo anymore, as probably 90% 
of flyers have no idea how they actually work and that they're part of 
stick/input formatting.

It could be changed for the gurus. Guru definition: Those who use PPMCA or 
PPM_LIMITS_SYMETRICAL

LOL ;-) And many thanks for this modification !

Please take care of the name of the raw option for stick in the mixers, it has 
to be changed also.

The raw option for stick in the mixers? What do you mean?

It is the "DR yes/no" option : yes = orders after Sticks menu, no = raw sticks' 
orders (issue #56).
That's why I proposed "sticks curves", as the acronym to replace "DR" is simple 
to find, like SC or StkCv.
