fix(math): Fix range mapper deadband logic#423
Merged
Conversation
* Fix issue in range mapper which could occur if the center and range deadzones overlapped * More explicitly allow uni-directional output mappings when min==center or max==center * Flesh out test cases for floating point precision issues and values around the deadbands It was found that the output could be discontinuous if the center deadzone overlapped with one of the range deadzones. The solution was to better handle the case that there are unidirectional output distributions (e.g. where center==min or center==max) and to better handle how the deadbands are calculated. Build and run `math/example` on QtPy ESP32s3 and ensure the output of `rm4` matches what we expect.

Pull Request Overview
This PR addresses a bug in the range mapper logic by improving how deadbands are handled when the center overlaps with the minimum or maximum values, and enhances test coverage for floating point precision issues.
- Adjust deadband logic in the range mapper to support uni-directional output mappings
- Update test cases in the math example to validate the new behavior and floating point edge cases

- [nitpick] Consider renaming 'oob_range' to 'out_of_bounds_range' for improved clarity.
static constexpr float oob_range = deadband * 3.0f;

Description
Motivation and Context
It was found that the output could be discontinuous if the center deadzone overlapped with one of the range deadzones. The solution was to better handle the case that there are unidirectional output distributions (e.g. where center==min or center==max) and to better handle how the deadbands are calculated.
