Default Accel and Velocity Control

Post by cjmbasicmicro »

Should the velocity control PID loop over-ride the Default Accel, or, should the Default Accel always apply, even if the PID loop needs more than that much acceleration?

For example, if Default Accel is set very low, e.g. 25000, and the input/commanded velocity changes from 0% to 100%, and velocity control is enabled (and encoders are properly calibrated) should the controller slowly accelerate, or, should it attempt to accelerate very quickly?

Thank you,

Default Accel only applies to commands that do NOT have an accel argument. If the command has an accel argument it overrides.
