class MinMaxScaler:
    """
    This class scales raw values automatically.
    The min/max values are set by the `scale` method when called.
    At least two different values must be given for the scaling to work.
 
    The purpose of this class is to be used for a VR glove
    where all potentiometers are set differently.
 
    By gripping and opening the hand,
    the min/max values are automatically set
    and then scaled to the full range.
 
    This has the advantage that the full range of the raw value is covered
    and does not need to be adjusted in VR runtime.
