 for customisation, or for general testing purposes.
 
-Mixer basics
-------------
-
-Mixers combine control values from various sources (control tasks, user inputs,
-etc.) and produce output values suitable for controlling actuators; servos,
-motors, switches and so on.
-
-An actuator derives its value from the combination of one or more control
-values. Each of the control values is scaled according to the actuator's
-configuration and then combined to produce the actuator value, which may then be
-further scaled to suit the specific output type.
-
-Internally, all scaling is performed using floating point values. Inputs and
-outputs are clamped to the range -1.0 to 1.0.

-Scaling
--------
-
-Basic scalers provide linear scaling of the input to the output.
-
-Each scaler allows the input value to be scaled independently for inputs
-greater/less than zero. An offset can be applied to the output, and lower and
-upper boundary constraints can be applied. Negative scaling factors cause the
-output to be inverted (negative input produces positive output).
-
-Scaler pseudocode:
-
-if (input < 0)
-    output = (input * NEGATIVE_SCALE) + OFFSET
-else
-    output = (input * POSITIVE_SCALE) + OFFSET
-
-if (output < LOWER_LIMIT)
-    output = LOWER_LIMIT
-if (output > UPPER_LIMIT)
-    output = UPPER_LIMIT
