4WS Microcontroller

This is a control module that manages the steering with a vehicle using the 5x5 wheel suspension parts or similar, and solves the "left side steers backwards" issue.

IRL, 4WS is expensive, heavy, and unreliable. In game it's free, so let's use it.

Simply connect the steering input, a linear speed sensor, and the four wheels.

Tuneable parameters:

The responsiveness of the rear axel, default 0.8

The crossover speed where the rear wheels will stop countersteering and start co-steering. Think of how you turn at slow speeds and shift lanes at high speeds, this is based on an article I read about 4WS that suggested that this crossover should take place at around 34mph, which is the default setting converted to m/sec.

Update:
After doing experiments with geometric curves in braking systems, I realized I was having the same problem with my steering, added the new circuitry to this and drivability is about 4x better. =)))

Update: reduced the steering curve calculation to a single f(x) module.

New: There is now also a higher performance version on my workshop. The new version must be calibrated to each vehicle, this version offers plug-and-drive but isn't quite as good.
