Cover Calibration script

[heinemannj]

Origional code:

script:

  - id: calibrate_CH1_cover
    then:
      - logger.log: "Calibrate CH1_cover"
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 5s
      - cover.open: CH1_cover
      - delay: 5s
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 5s
      - cover.open: CH1_cover
      - delay: 5s
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 5s
      - cover.open: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s
      - cover.close: CH1_cover

Can somebody please explain in which way above calibration is working and why nine different tests are required?

My basic understanding is like the following:

      - cover.open: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s # max_duration of the cover => cover should be completely open
      - cover.close: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s # max_duration of the cover  => cover should be completely closed
      - cover.open: CH1_cover
      - delay: 60s # max_duration of the cover => cover should be completely open

The 5 seconds first steps are mainly to unlock the actuator in old version of board without opamps.
Sometimes, the actuator at endstop position need a lot of current to start moving and that was a fix to let them move a bit, and then make a real endstop calibration.
