Can anybody say more about the integrator term in the Tbolt? In the Arduino GPSDO I have, I use 1/TC/TC/damping and use damping = 2. I see Nick Sayer do the same but use damping 1.75. Simulations I have done in Excel seems to indicate that a damping in my sense of about 3 could be better to minimize overshoots.
Having looked at old data I have found on Time nuts seems to indicate that the Tbolt uses 1/TC/TC/damping/damping/2?
