Feature description

Automate Hobbywing 6X SE ESC RPM telemetry configuration

Desired solution

When the motor or ESC is a "Manufacturer == Hobbywing and model == 6X SE" in the component editor, then this lua script should be uploaded to the FC in the "esc_telemetry" configuration step:

esc_telem:set_rpm_scale(0, 0.714)
esc_telem:set_rpm_scale(1, 0.714)
esc_telem:set_rpm_scale(2, 0.714)
esc_telem:set_rpm_scale(3, 0.714)
gcs:send_text(0,"LUA set RPM scale to 0.714")

AMC already contains support to upload lua scripts.

Alternatives considered

None

Additional context

Hobbywing 6X SE reports incorrect RPM this script is required to correct that. Most users do not know that.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing Lua script upload mechanism in the codebase. Then find where component editor determines manufacturer and model for ESCs, and add logic to generate the specified Lua script for Hobbywing 6X SE.
