Azi-Drive to PWM generation resolution mapping #13

Sent this as a email to Jake/Zach/Kevin but figured this forum would be more appropriate:

Have we looked into the output of the azi-drive versus the PWM generation node? I'm wondering if it could also be an issue. For instance, suppose Azi-drive outputs a value of 0-100 for thrust. Assume the PWM output value with the discovery board ranges from 0-4096. The 0-100 output value from the azi-drive may only correspond to 0-1024 of the PWM node range limiting the thruster power to 25%. So we need to make sure we match the thrust ranges between nodes. Something to look into...
