ADS Theory

First attempt at design solution:

• Clutch will be controlled by a hardware driven PID

• Accelerator pedal will also be driven by a PID, but we can vary the setpoints based on input when the clutch is up

• To get the car moving, we will require a combination of both clutch and accelerator pedal:

• Its likely that we will implement stages such that the start off procudure is entirely code driven.

• We plan on using an xbox controller or something similar to make proper tests for the ADS car

Look at first commit to ads repo to see layout of ADS algorithm

• Most important paramaters:
• RPM
