Contactless Clutch Paddle Electronic bite-point calibration

Precise adjustments in 1.0 % and 0.1 % increments
Change bite-point via configuration tool or directly on the wheel rim:
1. Push both joystick buttons for 1s to access bite-point mode
2. LED lights up to indicate calibration mode
3. Rotate left joystick for 1.0 % increments / right joystick for 0.1 % increments (LED flashes to indicate changes)
4. Exit calibration mode by pushing both joysticks again for 1s

Recommended procedure for finding best setting:
1. Enter calibration mode and set bite-point to high value, e.g. 80 %
2. Pull slave clutch only
3. Apply throttle
4. Reduce bite-point in 1.0 % increments (left joystick) until vehicle starts moving
5. Make test starts to fine tune desired bite-point setting
6. Exit bite-point calibration mode

Procedure for quick race starts
1. Pull both master and slave clutches
2. Apply throttle
3. Race start -> let master clutch snap
4. It will take less than 20 ms to reach desired bite-point
5. Slowly release slave clutch
