Arbiter Industries ETA calculator

Description
This microcontroler calculates Estimated Time to Arrival. It can do this in many different ways, and is very configurable.
It's not fancy, it doesn't have cool advert screenshots, but it doesn't need them. Because... it works. What follows is an explanation of the workings in detail.

Minimum ETA: This is where this controller is different from the rest. It is capable of calculating the theoretical minimum travel time to a location. This can be incredibly useful for navigational computers.
Actual ETA: This is the more standard method. This is for Navigational readouts.
Dynamic mode: This calculates the minimum ETA via current speed. Otherwise, minimum ETA is calculated via max speed, and throttle percentage. This is more effective with fast or quickly accelerating craft, but can be unstable and vary quite a bit.
Dynamic averaging: This combines the outputs of Dynamic mode with the normal calculations. Very useful when a craft's speed is very unstable, but doesn't perform well with other craft.
Pythagorean calculations: This causes the microcontroler to calculate distances via coordinates. Otherwise it can calculate with a input distance for compatibility with other navigation controllers.
Wall of text: This allows the microcontroller to make others disinterested. Cannot be deactivated.
