v1.1.0-beta

New feature

Added the possibility to match the motor with an APC propeller with the performance data provided by the manufacturer. Such feature requires the preliminary download of the data file from the APC Propellers website. The script performing the coupling with the APC propeller data is propMatchAPC.m, while the coupling with a custom propeller (where performance data have to be written by the user in a .csv file) is made in propMatchCustom.m.

To enable the new feature, this repository contains a dependency to another repository of mine: read-APC-prop-perfo-data. Such dependency is addressed as a submodule, which basically is a sub-folder containing data imported from another repository. In this way, the submodule is updated independently and duplicates are avoided.

If you work with GitHub and you clone this beta release into your machine, you may need to explicitly tell Git to download the contents of read-APC-prop-perfo-data by typing:

git submodule update --init --recursive

If you downloaded the source code archive file, unzip the apc-submodule.zip file into the extracted simple-BLDC-model-1.1.0-beta folder to manually add the submodule files.
