Newbie - question on default values for speed & accel
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2022 7:30 am
Hi--
I'm new to the roboclaw and most of my experience with servos is using custom LM628/629 HW. I trying to understand how the RC works.
In the LM628 world, I would program a single max acceleration values (same value for both accel and decel) and set a max speed along with the PID settings. Once that was done I could just do position movement and velocity movements (if less than the programmed max velocity).
The doc seems a little vague on accel and decel. There is a way to set the default accel and speed, but it's doesn't mention decel. Is default decel the same as the accel? I'm asking since the RC had commands that allow you to set different accel and decel values in a single motion command.
Also... why doe the document refer to the term "deccel"? Decceleration is not a word, but deceleration is. ;^)
Thanks,
Ron
