Arduino library to calculate positions af actuators by running time. This lib doens't control anything. It just calculates the action position of an actuator. It's up to you to use the information this library provides

MikeysRunningTime(unsigned int memoryAddress);

Instantiates class with address in EEPROM. Class uses 8 Byte. Make sure not to overlap with other functions or instances. To prevent wrong behaviour, use resetValues() at first use of this address

void minPosition(float minPosition);

Sets the physical minimal Position (e.g. 10cm)

void maxPosition(float maxPosition);

Sets the physical maximal Postion (e.g. 100cm)

void update();

Updates position, should be called in loop

void startMeasuring();

Starts the runtime Measuring, should be called simultaneously as the actuator moves

void stopMeasuring();

Stops the runtime Measuring, should be called simultaneously ast the actuator stops

unsigned long runningTime();

Shows the total running Time in ms

void positiveMovement();

Should be called when actuator moves in positive direction

void negativeMovement();

Should be called when actuator moves in negative direction

void stopMovement();

Should be called when movement stops

float actPositionPercentage();

Gives back actual position in percent (gives back 0.0 when values aren't set or referencing is needed)

float actPositionAbsolute();

Gives back actual position in physical dimensions (e.g. cm, degrees,... gives back 0.0 when values aren't set or referencing is needed)

void storeValues();

Stores running time values in EEPROM (uses EEPROM.update) memoryAddress = startTime, memoryAddress + 4 = endTime

void loadValues();

Loads values from EEPROM, should be called in setup

void resetValues();

Resets values in EEPROM and loaded values in instance

bool valuesSet();

Gives back 1 when values are set

bool referencingNeeded();

Gives back 1 when home referencing is needed (e.g. after power loss and actual physical position is not known)

void setHomePosition();

When referencing is needed and actuator is in home position, call this to set new home position
