Description

@willdickson

The acceleration and deceleration as set via the setAcc and setDec appear to be off by a factor of two. This issue appears to be due an error in the conversion constant in the accCalc and decCalc functions found in SparkFunAutoDriverSupport.cpp. According the the L6470 manual the conversion constant should be given by (tick^2)/(2^-40) where tick = 250ns. This gives ((250e-9)**2)/(2^-40) = 0.068719476736 However, the constant in the AutoDriver library is 0.137438 which appears to be off by approximately a factor of two.
