V5.1.4 Release

The steering test window allows you to change the steering angle by 1 degree. In my experience, a resolution of 0.1 degrees is needed to correctly set the hydraulic valves. Most of the corrections during automatic driving are between 0 and 1 degree. For setting, instead of arrows, I use the slider to set the sensor 0 where I can set values ​​less than 1 degree and only then you can see if the control is working well or badly and you can tell when the vehicle is stationary. The most difficult and KEY when adjusting the hydraulic valves is to find the optimal minimum PWM value, it is not possible when you increase the error by 1 degree. You click 1 degree left or right and you see how the plumbing is beautifully pulling the green line, you think it’s ok. But you change the sensor 0 every 0.1 degree and you see that, for example, up to 0.8 degree error nothing happens and only at 0, 9 pulls to the correct level. With such testing, every 0.1, you can only see what needs to be improved, you can test different frequencies for better detachment of the slider, etc.
So our beloved programmers, maybe when introducing some changes, it would be worth adding the possibility of test control every 0.1 degree, it will certainly facilitate the calibration of settings, especially of hydraulic valves.
