This was an attempt to make Teacup sources compatible with
Arduino IDE 1.6.0 - 1.6.9 and became obsolete as of 1.6.10. The
problem was fixed on the Arduino IDE side.
As far as I (Traumflug) can see, this was an attempt to ease PID
tuning by setting PID parameters according to a model easier
understandable by humans.
This was moved to the attic because because automatic PID tuning
is around the corner, so users (hopefully) no longer have to mess
with PID parameters at all before too long.
This branch gained no attendance for years. With the advent of
Configtool it becomes even more unlikely this ever becomes part
of the standard distribution. See also attic/eeconfig/README.
Test code which wants to customize config.h can do so without
touching config.h itself by wrapping config.h in a macro variable
which is passed in to the compiler. It defaults to "config.h" if
no override is provided.
This change would break makefile dependency checking since the selection
of a different header file on the command line is not noticed by make
as a build-trigger. To solve this, we add a layer to the BUILDDIR path
so build products are now specific to the USER_CONFIG choice if it is
not "config.h".
This was a very interesting approach, but for the forseeable
future it's unlikely the code will replace the current one.
However, many parts of it were already moved to the experimental
branch. It turns out the approach with recalculating acceleration
at a constant time interval is exactly right, but works much more
precisely when keeping maths step-based.
