Feature request: additional speed and/or duty based variable tailback #54

Description

@jaamesd

The general intent is to implent a concave speed/duty based variable tiltback short of pushback alerts such as:

  • -0.2 deg/1k erpm between 0-10k erpm
  • 0.5 deg/1k erpm between 12k erpm (and/or 0.5 deg/pct or duty cycle above 80%, 0.5 deg/s)

Reasons for having this separate from speed based pushback alerts proposed #46 are:

  • so that softer, subtler feedback can be provided to the rider in the normal operating regime while retaining harder when operating closer to the board or rider's physical limits
  • so users can change their alert thresholds according to personal preference or local regulatory requirements without affecting tune
  • to avoid alarm/alert fatigue when used with companion mobile apps

The problem with the current settings for this use case is constant tiltbacks can feel awkward/jarring when velocity oscillates around 0, e.g. while navigating technical terrain or urban obstacles. Reducing the maximum nose angling speed to something extremely low e.g. 0.5 deg/sec masks the issue but at the cost of limiting variable erpm.

I think the general options are:

  1. restricting the tiltback speed setting so as to only apply apply to constant tiltback
  2. adding a second variable tiltback setting group
  3. splitting constant/variable tiltback each with own speed setting
  4. some combination of the above
