14// AdaptiveFocus is setup as a friend class of Focus because it is tightly coupled to Focus relying on many
15// members of Focus, both variables and functions.
16//
17// adaptiveFocus is signalled (by capture). Check each adaptive dimension (temp, alt) to determine whether a focus move is required.
18// Total the movements from each dimension and, if required, adjust focus.
19//
20// Use the adaptive focus parameters associated with the current filter unless that has a lock filter, in which case use the lock filter.
21// Use the last good autofocus run as the reference that provides the focus position, temperature
22// and altitude. Adaptive focus then calculates the proposed position based on the current temperature and altitude
23// and calculates how to move from the current position to the proposed position - note there may be an overscan involved.
24//
25// To keep track of the movements the data are passed to Analyze which allows the user to review everything. Analyze displays the
26// deltas from the previous adaptive focus run for temperature and altitude to the next adaptive focus run.
27//
28// Calculations are performed as doubles and rounded to int for the final movement.
29//
30// A complication is that not all focusers move exactly to the requested position - 'bad boy' focusers. E.g. a request to
31// goto position X results in the focuser moving to X, X +/- 1 or X +/- 2. These position errors need to be managed. There
32// are 2 aspects to this; before an Adaptive Focus iteration, the focuser may be "off" where it should be. This could be
33// because the focuser is a "bad boy" so it moved to the correct position +/- 1 or 2 ticks; this is the Last Pos Error.
34// Adaptive Focus will attempt to correct this error even if there are no temperature or altitude changes (providing the
35// movement is above the user defined minimum movement.
36// When the Adaptive Focus iteration runs, the focuser may again experience a Pos Error.
37// These Position Errors are passed to Analyze to breakdown each focuser movement.
38//
39// Proposed Position = Ref Position (from last Autofocus) + adjustment for temperature + adjustment for altitude
40//
41// Accounting since last Adaptive Focus
42// Last Pos Error Reversal = Last Iteration Proposed Move - Focuser position at start of Adaptive Focus iteration
43// This Pos Error = Focuser position at end of Adaptive Focus iteration - Proposed Move
44// End Position = Start Position + temperature adjustment + altitude adjustment + Last Pos Error Reversal + This Pos Error
45//
46// Example: Last Autofocus Run, Pos=100 0C 70Alt. Parameters: 10ticks/Degree C, 1tick/Degree Alt
47// 1st Adaptive Focus: 0.5C 71Alt
48// Proposed Position = 100 + 5 + 1 = 106
49// Actual Position = 105 (focuser movement error)
50// Accounting: Start Position = 100
51// Temperature Adjustment = 5
52// Altitude Adjustment = 1
53// Last Pos Error Reversal = 0
54// This Pos Error = -1
55// End Position = 100 + 5 + 1 + 0 - 1 = 105
56//
57// 2nd Adaptive Focus: 0.75C 72Alt
58// Proposed Position = 100 + 7.5 + 2 = 110
59// Actual Position = 112 (focuser movement error)
60// Accounting: Start Position = 105
61// Temperature Adjustment = 2.5
62// Altitude Adjustment = 1
63// Last Pos Error Reversal = 1
64// This Pos Error = 2
65// End Position = 100 + 5 + 1 + 0 - 1 = 112
66//
67// 3rd Adaptive Focus: 0.25C 72Alt
68// Proposed Position = 100 + 2.5 + 2 = 105
69// Actual Position = 105 (no focuser movement error)
70// Accounting: Start Position = 112
71// Temperature Adjustment = -5
72// Altitude Adjustment = 0
73// Last Pos Error Reversal = -2
74// This Pos Error =
75// End Position = 100 + 5 + 1 + 0 - 1 = 105
76//
77// Adaptive Focus moves the focuser between Autofocus runs.
78// Adapt Start Pos adjusts the start position of an autofocus run based on Adaptive Focus settings
79// The start position uses the last successful AF run for the active filter and adapts that position
80// based on the temperature and altitude delta between now and when the last successful AF run happened
81// Only enabled for LINEAR 1 PASS
