Unsure about using FileSystem. I am pretty sure this creates a file within the Arduino's on board memory. Try this: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/54/saving-arduino-sensor-data-to-a-text-file

can you specificy that the maximum position is up (like forwards)

we need to label these on the RC itself somehow

consider moving this pinout.h and use #define instead

Further, the EEPROM addresses need to be in a header file (e.g. eeprom_io.h). This will need to be used by the main firware to read from these addresses. Don't define them as const ints in the scope of this program.

Don't use delays. I suggest doing something like the following:

  1. Indicate which measurement.
  2. Wait for a start character.
  3. Record the values for 5 seconds or until the stop character is sent. This gives the user a small window to move the joystic. Note: I would suggest checking the data rate so a bunch of data is stored and possible lost. Maybe 2 seconds is good. Throughout this period, keep sampling.
  4. Find the max/min from the collected data and save the value to the EEPROM

I suggest creating a seperate function for this with a few arguments:

int get_threshold(const char * user_question, bool min = false, bool max = false, bool mean = false, uint8_t rc_pin, uint8_t eeprom_addr)
{
/*
 1.print the string
 2.wait for a start char
 3.sample and store into a temp array
 4.wait for time end or end char. Or, cancel char which exits the measurement and re-runs the question routine.
 5.get min/max/mean
 6.write value to eeprom
 7.return true is successful data collection and eeprom write, else false
*/
}
