Dual Clutch Controller

dual clutch experiment, with a microcontroller. all of the logic is done in lua.
the transmission can smoothly switch between clutches, allowing for continuous output power

inputs:
- bool to shift up
- bool to shift down

outputs:
- 8 'gears'
- gears 1-6 are actual gearboxes. gear 7 is gearboxes 3+5, and 8 is 4+6
- reverse gear.

# code notes:

CLUTCH_TICKS is # of ticks to engage / disengage clutch
CLUTCH_OFFSET is how many ticks to offset engage / disengage

CLUTCH_TICKS=60 will take 1 second to change gears.
CLUTCH_OFFSET=50 starts to engage the second clutch when the first clutch is almost done disengaging. seems to work OK
CLUTCH_OFFSET=0 means the second clutch will engage at the same rate the first clutch disengages. this is a bit aggressive and will lock things up.
CLUTCH_OFFSET=60 means it will only engage the second clutch after the first clutch is done disengaging.
