Pypilot working on my Nicholson 44

the pwm duty cycle can be adjusted, however the frequency is 2khz because of the 560 ohm gate resistor.   This may make noise without an external filter.
future boards will be 16khz with a gate driver chip for the clutch output.

fortunately the software can detect all of this so the same code works on all hardware.

I updated my Raspberry and uploaded the new sketch on the Nano. After updating the Pypilot software, it would not see the IMU anymore. I disconnected the IMU, rebooted, reconnected, and now it works perfectly! It is a fantastic job you are doing with Pypilot! Congratulations! I cannot express how thankful I am!

I only just changed the starboard_pin_fault and port_pin_fault conditions in your code to account for my end switches that work exactly the other way around. Other than that, the code is your stock code.

I have not yet discovered how I can change the two new parameters: the clutch pwm and clutch time. I run the Pypilot code on a Raspberry 3 with a 5 inch touch display. I cannot manage to scroll down to the lower end of the configuration page. I tried accessing the configuration options through the web interface, but that only displays a limited number of options, is that right? Is there a configuration file that I can edit manually to change the two new parameters?
