[00:00:10] <anonimasu> i use my vise about 30% of the time and the clamps 50%
[00:00:27] <alex4nder> anonimasu: so just clamp directly into the table using the t-slots?
[00:00:33] <anonimasu> yeah
[00:00:36] <nicko> %20 of the time you build your own jigs ?
[00:00:39] <anonimasu> yeah
[00:00:47] <nicko> vacuum tables also ;)
[00:00:57] <alex4nder> haha I'm too much of a noob for a vacuum table

[00:01:36] <Tom_itx> noisy
[00:01:45] <anonimasu> the rest of the time ends up with something machined to fit my part and clamps to hold it stuck
[00:01:48] <anonimasu> or in the vise
[00:02:17] <anonimasu> also, you can use the clamps as improvised jig's alot of times
[00:02:21] <nicko> I'd say %50 of the time I get more pleasure making the work holding part than the part

[04:12:08] <nicko> hello
[04:12:25] <nicko> OK, trying to get my drive enable logic sorted out here
[04:13:13] <nicko> I set up a desktop supply with 5v and *finally* found a set up that worked - apply 5V.. drive enabled - take it away, drive disables... perfect
[04:13:34] <nicko> so I connected a 7i33 ENA to it
[04:13:38] <nicko> it worked!
[04:13:44] <nicko> about three toggles
[04:14:04] <nicko> then it just sits disabled (as if 7i33 were low)

vladimirek [vladimirek!~vladimire@bband-dyn106.178-40-170.t-com.sk] has joined #emc
[04:15:07] <nicko> its intermittent - one thing for sure is that as my drives aren't tuned yet as soon as I get a ferror from EMC the enable will go low - and its usually from there that I can longer enable the drive without power cycling it
[04:15:28] <nicko> longer = "no longer"
[04:16:46] <pcw_home> The 7I33 enables are not high current outputs. I would use s 7I37 output for drive enable
[04:17:15] <nicko> The drives need 6.3mA to go high
[04:17:20] <nicko> is that too high ?
[04:17:54] <pcw_home> 6.3MA requires how many volts?
[04:18:12] <nicko> hmmm - well the range is 3.3 to 5.5v
[04:19:35] <nicko> so its either an enable from the 7i33 or I use a pin on the 5i22 as enable ?
[04:19:49] <nicko> Are they more suited ?
[04:20:44] <pcw_home> Only for active low (and drive opto anode returned to 3.3V)
[04:21:21] <pcw_home> Like I said I would use a 7I37 output for this
[04:22:13] <pcw_home> the bare FPGA pins are capable of 24 MA source or sink but one mistake and you have fried an expensive FPGA card
[04:23:23] -!-
Tom_L has quit []
[04:23:52] <nicko> I can invert the logic at the drive - I'd like to give it a try...
[04:24:44] <nicko> but the open collector - pull up/pull down and so on is getting me all confused
[04:28:16] <pcw_home> The 7I33 enable outputs are just HCMOS and have a (I think) 300 Ohm series resistor so they wont drive much
[04:28:18] <pcw_home> ( we had to add the resistor as too many people blew up the gates otherwise)
[04:30:13] <nicko> the costs of this machine are sky rocketing (as expected but not accounted for >rolleyes< )
[04:31:02] <Tom_itx> pcw_home, 24ma source or sinc but what about overall current on the chip?
[04:31:51] <pcw_home> On a 5I20 probably and amp or so
[04:32:16] <Tom_itx> on the fpga itself? that seems like alot
[04:33:38] <pcw_home> Lots of power pins
[04:35:11] <pcw_home> imagine 12 74ACT245 buffers
[04:35:59] <nicko> so I've been connecting my 5i22 all over the show - havent blown it yet
[04:36:32] -!-
ries has quit [Quit: ries]
[04:36:41] <nicko> I have been cautious - but then a mistake and no consequences = not being so worried
[04:38:13] <pcw_home> no, we're really rough with our test systems and i've never fried one, but customers have (shorting all the outputs at once or connecting an pin to 12V)
[04:39:16] <nicko> aint no 12v around here ! except that 12v over there - and that 12v over there
[04:39:21] <nicko> and the 24
[04:39:29] <nicko> and the desktop on random setting
[04:39:37] <nicko> oh, and the 160v ...
[04:39:55] <nicko> which I've seen hit GND
[04:40:01] <nicko> quite impressive
[04:40:27] <pcw_home> those will definitely cause fryola
[04:41:08] <nicko> more noise than heat
[04:41:35] <nicko> hey, so - yes, ok considering the 7i37 for future projects - but for now ...
[04:42:10] <nicko> ok, so I have a 5i22 - I can choose is_output and is_opendrain
[04:42:19] <nicko> I can also change jumpers around on the board
[04:42:26] <pcw_home> Yeah we blew up one of our 8I20s when testing , 6400 uF @340VDC -- big bang
[04:42:31] <nicko> I can invert logic at both ends
[04:42:51] <nicko> I can also wire it up physically an infinite number of ways
[04:42:55] <pcw_home> Dont change any jumpers, no need for standard stuff
[04:43:10] <nicko> I dont have the knowledge to sort out which of all these combinations I need
[04:43:30] <nicko> I just know that 5v will switch the thing on and off
[04:43:42] <nicko> (the manual says 3.3v will also do it)
[04:43:59] <nicko> can you provide a 'how to connect the dang thing for dummies' ??
[04:44:18] <pcw_home> Well if 3.3 will do then leave it active high and drive it from a 5I22 output
[04:44:39] <nicko> ok! I'll give it a crack ;)
[04:48:56] <nicko> ok
[04:49:06] <nicko> so its toggling 3.3v unconnected
[04:49:53] <nicko> when I connect it it doesn't enable the drive - but it toggles at around 1.5v
[04:50:12] <nicko> the equivalent circuit is
http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6022/5992335223_fdf3a532e4.jpg
[04:50:15] <nicko> the top one
[04:58:46] <pcw_home> so HSIN- is grounded to the 5I22 ground and HSIN+ connect to a 5I22 output pin?
[04:59:58] <nicko> yes
[05:01:15] <nicko> I tried IO_COM (pin2) to 5i22 GND also
[05:02:42] <pcw_home> is this just one input?
[05:03:08] <nicko> um, not sure what you mean ...
[05:03:12] <nicko> yes ?
[05:03:46] <pcw_home> You dont have open drain set do you?
[05:04:03] <nicko> I have that set on another pin
[05:04:09] <nicko> but I'll check to be sure
[05:07:02] <nicko> oh dear!!!
[05:07:04] <nicko> It was
[05:07:17] <nicko> ok - now I'm gettign following errors immediately !
[05:07:22] <nicko> which is GOOD right ?
[05:07:41] <nicko> hmmm, I might invert the motor direction
[05:07:44] <pcw_home> 1.5V means ~.5v across the 220 resistor = ~2mA so something is really wrong (or you have open drain enabled)
[05:07:46] <pcw_home> Yeah its expected
[05:08:12] <pcw_home> anyway 'night all
[05:08:18] <pcw_home> bbl
[05:08:30] <nicko> THANKS M U C H

[13:17:48] <anonimasu> also tested the motor with some pid tuning and that made them mover smoother
[13:18:05] <anonimasu> tho, I beleive that I need more encoder counts to make them not jitter so much
[13:18:06] <Tom_itx> good stuff
[13:18:16] <Tom_itx> probably so
[13:18:39] <anonimasu> they are jittering 0.002mm or something if I set scale up properly
[13:18:56] <Tom_itx> does backing off P and adding I help that any?
[13:19:02] <anonimasu> no
[13:19:13] <anonimasu> it still jumps about 2 encoder counts :D
[13:19:18] <Tom_itx> did you take P up to the 'jumpy' stage?
[13:19:22] <Tom_itx> then back off a bit
[13:19:22] <anonimasu> yeah
[13:19:24] <Tom_itx> ok

[13:19:47] <Tom_itx> cooling down here after mowing
[13:19:52] <anonimasu> same here
[13:19:58] <anonimasu> however I beleive that the loop resolution is too low to properly handle pid
[13:20:00] <Tom_itx> wanted to get it done before the sun came up
[13:20:24] <anonimasu> that's my guess
[13:20:25] <Tom_itx> it could be
[13:20:32] <Tom_itx> how do you fix that?
[13:20:39] <anonimasu> dspic as interpolator
[13:20:41] <Tom_itx> can you shorted the servo loop?
[13:20:50] <Tom_itx> or is that where you do it..
[13:20:56] <anonimasu> yeah it is
[13:21:04] <anonimasu> it's a matter of not having enough encoder counts
[13:21:12] <Tom_itx> making it shorter would give you fewer samples though
[13:21:26] <anonimasu> well, I need more samples in a faster period
[13:21:31] <anonimasu> ie, more quadrature pulses per turn
[13:21:40] <Tom_itx> and you don't have quad right now?
[13:21:53] <anonimasu> only 1x interpolation of the sin/cos
[13:22:00] <anonimasu> so I have 4096 counts/rev
[13:22:11] <Tom_itx> that should be plenty
[13:22:25] <anonimasu> and with my setui that turns out as 819 counts/mm
[13:22:35] <anonimasu> so it jitters about 3 encoder counts
[13:22:52] <Tom_itx> maybe it's missing counts
[13:22:53] <anonimasu> that's actually not too bad..
[13:22:55] <Tom_itx> or rolling over
[13:22:57] <anonimasu> no it isnt
[13:23:06] <Tom_itx> still using the avr?
[13:23:09] <anonimasu> then commutation would be screwed and my motor would jump :)
[13:23:12] <anonimasu> yeah
[13:23:58] <anonimasu> if I set up for gearing 2:1 it'd get better.
[13:24:16] <Tom_itx> are you gonna use belt drive on it?
[13:24:22] <anonimasu> yeah
[13:24:39] <anonimasu> for now normal at3 belts, if I need backslash free such
[13:25:37] <anonimasu> i'll deal with that later
[13:25:56] <anonimasu> same setup just new gears and belts
[13:26:09] <anonimasu> possibly if they make them with taper lock that'd be even better

[13:29:39] <anonimasu> maybe i'll have more gearing for the x axis
[13:30:21] <anonimasu> 5m/min is more then enough for that
[13:31:14] <anonimasu> 125mm/s with 2:1 gearing
[13:31:25] <anonimasu> that will give me about 1 second edge to edge of the carriage
[13:31:26] <Tom_itx> http://tom-itx.dyndns.org:81/~webpage/motors/motor3.jpg
[13:31:33] <Tom_itx> i considered putting those on my sherline
[13:31:45] <anonimasu> arent they small?
[13:31:48] <Tom_itx> they have 1024 encoders i can put on the back
[13:31:56] <Tom_itx> 1/4" shaft
[13:32:01] <anonimasu> (i cant tell how big they actually are)
[13:32:04] <Tom_itx> i know
[13:32:31] <Tom_itx> you can see the screw mounts on the back where i took off the heds encoders
[13:32:37] <anonimasu> you know, you could always stick encoders onto the steppers
[13:32:39] <Tom_itx> for my bot
[13:32:43] <Tom_itx> meh
[13:32:46] <anonimasu> so you could have closed loop anyway
[13:33:01] <anonimasu> (on the screws)
[13:33:03] <Tom_itx> it wouldn't improve anything that much
[13:33:09] <anonimasu> how are the torque specs?
[13:33:14] <anonimasu> are they about the same as for your steppers?
[13:33:15] <Tom_itx> on what?

[13:34:26] <anonimasu> figure out if they have enough torque first :)
[13:34:41] <Tom_itx> i'm pretty sure they would, especially if i geared them
[13:35:53] * anonimasu nods
[13:36:04] <anonimasu> it's worth it, specially since you have all hardware you need already
[13:36:11] <Tom_itx> no drivers
[13:36:18] <anonimasu> you just need the drive stage for the motors but you can build a h-bridge driver
[13:36:43] <Tom_itx> i have a couple 3A hbridges but i'm not sure that's enough
[13:37:09] <anonimasu> probably not, but you have electronics skills enough to make your own :)
[13:37:31] <anonimasu> pwmgen supports that i think
[13:37:40] <anonimasu> http://linuxcnc.org/docs/html/man/man9/pwmgen.9.html
[13:37:48] <Tom_itx> probably
[13:37:56] <anonimasu> type 2: up/down
[13:37:57] <anonimasu> Two output pins, up and down. For positive inputs, the PWM/PDM waveform appears on up, while down is low. For negative inputs, the waveform appears on down, while up is low. Suitable for driving the two sides of an H-bridge to generate a bipolar output.
[13:37:58] <Tom_itx> it's a pretty basic drive setup
[13:38:31] <Tom_itx> it'll be a while if i do
[13:38:46] <anonimasu> i'd rather make chips then much around :D
[13:38:52] <anonimasu> atleast for a while
[13:41:35] <Tom_itx> me too
[13:42:25] <Tom_itx> I got the z axis working alot better than it was, next i'll go thru the x and y and try to get them as good as they can be
[13:42:33] <Tom_itx> and just use it a while
[13:42:58] <anonimasu> indeed
[13:43:11] <Tom_itx> it'll be a while before i could get another mill but that's what it would take to do much of anything bigger
[13:43:25] <anonimasu> im craving to start on the mill soon, since going to work to make stuff is a pain in the ass
[13:43:55] <Tom_itx> you won't have time once she moves in :)
[13:44:14] <anonimasu> hehe, she's understanding with that ^_^

[18:23:07] <Tom_L> those are supposed to be digital in aren't they?
[18:23:38] <anonimasu> yeah, but since they are differential I can plug the diff sin/cos into them
[18:23:39] <anonimasu> :)
[18:23:55] <anonimasu> and it does the same as the comparator would

[18:24:15] <anonimasu> well, it works :)
[18:24:29] <Tom_L> it might work better with the right interface
[18:24:50] <anonimasu> they are smooth, and they dont jitter at all now
[18:24:54] <anonimasu> :)
[18:25:00] <Tom_L> ramp it up a bit
[18:25:15] <anonimasu> my PID is off still tho, but my computer is a bit slow for the scope
[18:25:24] <anonimasu> we'll see im going to order a d510mo next week
[18:25:39] <pcw_home> No its differential only disadvantage is it has 200 mV hysteresis but since the sine/cos are 1V diff its OK
[18:25:56] <anonimasu> Tom_L: and it counts 10mhz :]
[18:26:25] <Tom_L> pcw, would that new board you're working on be a better solution for that?
[18:26:34] <anonimasu> Tom_L: im settling for gearing down 2:1 to get more resolution for now, and the conversion stuff for interpolating them
[18:26:46] <pcw_home> Yea a 26ls32 is a cheap and fast comparator
[18:26:51] <anonimasu> for later when I really need it bad..
[18:27:02] <pcw_home> just not very sensitive
[18:27:23] <Tom_L> what board has that part?
[18:27:30] <Tom_L> the 47 or the new one?
[18:28:17] <pcw_home> almost all our 422 boards, but some do not allow you to disable the termination (7I47 does)
[18:29:02] <anonimasu> I were talking to tom about the board you are developing with the analog inputs you read as digital(for this stuff)
[18:29:16] <anonimasu> if that would be usable for interpolating the encoders on the fpga instead
[18:31:32] <pcw_home> We dont have anything really suitable for interpolation
[18:31:34] <pcw_home> but keep wanting to make a cheap interpolator for Heidehaine linear scales
[18:31:36] <pcw_home> (maybe 11 uA and 1V FS inputs)
[18:31:37] <pcw_home>
[18:32:40] <alex4nder> hey
[18:33:13] <Tom_L> if the encoders were open collector would i need pullups to hook them to the 7i47?
[18:33:47] <Tom_L> i think the HEDS ones are
[18:35:14] <pcw_home> But its tricky for encoders like yours
[18:35:16] <pcw_home> At 3000 RPM you have 50 KHz sine/cos or 200 KHz quadrature,
[18:35:18] <pcw_home> 16X interp would be 3.2MHz quadrature, pretty tough unless you have a very fast A-D and fast proc
[18:35:42] <pcw_home> For open collector yes you would need pullups
[18:36:38] <Tom_L> i can put 2 of the 7i47's off the 7i43 right?

[18:57:28] <anonimasu> yeah
[18:57:35] <anonimasu> same but with a higher rated speed
[18:57:46] <Tom_L> all 3 same type of interface?
[18:58:13] <anonimasu> yeah
[18:58:38] <Tom_L> what are you drivin em with?
[18:58:55] <anonimasu> a homebuilt 320V powersupply
[18:59:43] <anonimasu> the 430 is just a bit bigger
[19:01:01] <anonimasu> and alot more max torque
[19:01:07] <anonimasu> 19.8N/m
[19:01:08] <anonimasu> :)
[19:01:31] <anonimasu> and 2Nm more continous stall torque
[19:02:34] <Tom_L> does your motor run cooler now?
[19:02:41] <anonimasu> alot
[19:02:48] <Tom_L> what was causing it?
[19:02:51] <Tom_L> just the tuning?
[19:02:53] <anonimasu> yeah
[19:03:31] <Tom_L> where did you get the power supply?
[19:03:33] <anonimasu> I should wire up the temp switch inside
[19:03:43] <anonimasu> just bought it locally from where i buy electronics
[19:03:59] <anonimasu> in parts, rectifier and transformer
[19:04:11] <Tom_L> how big it the transformer?
[19:04:19] <Tom_L> you're on 220v right?
[19:04:22] <anonimasu> yeah
[19:04:29] <anonimasu> 220v and 6A
[19:04:30] <Tom_L> 50 hz?
[19:04:34] <anonimasu> yeah
[19:04:38] <anonimasu> it recified to 320V
[19:04:43] <anonimasu> recitfies
[19:04:59] <Tom_L> why not direct from the supply?
[19:05:01] <anonimasu> and a 1000µf 4??v cap
[19:05:12] <Tom_L> you need dc..
[19:05:25] <anonimasu> and I got i strongly adviced against that :)
[19:05:38] <Tom_L> it's not just an isolation transformer is it?
[19:05:42] <anonimasu> no
[19:05:58] <anonimasu> it has taps for lower voltages too
[19:06:04] <anonimasu> im running at 160v right now
[19:06:09] <anonimasu> dc
[19:06:28] <anonimasu> since it might be a bit less dangerous with wires all around the shop for testing

[19:17:33] <nicko> Hello ...
[19:18:06] <nicko> I dont have the motor here with me - but yeh, it sounds similar
[19:18:14] <nicko> maybe a 330 - ...
[19:18:50] <nicko> It runs on a '010' ultra3000 drive
[19:19:00] <nicko> if that is any indication of its kW ...
[19:19:03] <anonimasu> kinetix 3000?
[19:19:27] <nicko> its black - with a metal rod coming out of it - ;)
[19:19:48] <anonimasu> well, if it says mpl-b on the nameplate something
[19:19:51] <anonimasu> you can use emc with it :)
[19:20:29] <nicko> I have two in the same body shape - one here is A320H -
[19:20:35] <nicko> HJ22AA

[19:21:36] <nicko> yeh, I think it is as I have an A420P - HJ22AA that I know is incremental
[19:21:39] <nicko> yes 220
[19:21:54] <nicko> the sin/cos is currently running my lathe
[19:22:04] <nicko> the other motor caught fire the day I bought it
[19:22:06] <nicko> FUN!
[19:22:16] <nicko> well, the driving electronics did
[19:22:16] <anonimasu> h means 3500rpm
[19:22:31] <anonimasu> err no
[19:22:33] <anonimasu> hj22aa
[19:22:36] <nicko> max speed = 5000rpm on the data sticker
[19:22:47] <nicko> anyways - I got to head to uni ...
[19:22:49] <anonimasu> h means incremental 2000count encoder
[19:23:16] <nicko> oops - I thought it was 4000 - ah well, its spindle stuff anyway ;)
[19:23:18] <anonimasu> k means no shaft key/no shaft seal
[19:23:39] <anonimasu> 2 means circular connectors facing shaft
[19:23:43] <anonimasu> and 2 means no brake
[19:23:46] <nicko> I'm not making food so its ok
[19:23:48] <anonimasu> AA means standard non atex
[19:23:58] <anonimasu> and metric
[19:24:04] <nicko> brake woudl be nice for the future - ah well
[19:24:23] <nicko> yup, I tested it - it certainly runs in metric rpm
[19:24:26] <anonimasu> and that p in the numbers before a 2000rpm
[19:24:33] <nicko> do they mean spacing of the mounts ?
[19:24:41] <anonimasu> err 5000rpm i mean
[19:24:44] <anonimasu> yeah, iec metric mounts
[19:25:03] <anonimasu> is it mpl?
[19:25:12] <nicko> yeez
[19:25:16] <anonimasu> low inertia :)
[19:25:22] <anonimasu> very nice motor.
[19:25:33] <nicko> I have three of them ;)
[19:25:39] <anonimasu> i think if you ask pcw aobut it might might work with the same stuff im using
[19:25:57] <anonimasu> but without mesisng with encoders :D
[19:26:05] <anonimasu> yours will be easier to work with
[19:26:13] <nicko> the 2.2Kw one will become a spindle servo
[19:26:35] <nicko> tapping in alu and so on
[19:27:00] <nicko> 4.5Kw 32,000 rpm spindle (ATC) for the rest
[19:27:20] <nicko> ^hit I gotta jet

[22:09:34] <toastydeath> anonimasu,
[22:10:04] <toastydeath> EMC cannot drive any axis machine in interpolation very quickly to any degree of accuracy, the actual error seems to vary on the machine rigidity and setup parameters
[22:10:38] <toastydeath> Linear movement can be done pretty quick but you have to exact stop at the end otherwise, from what I have seen, it mungles the corners
[22:10:42] -!-
Dave911 has quit [Ping timeout: 276 seconds]
[22:11:12] <toastydeath> if someone wrote a lookahead compiler I imagine EMC would rival most machine controls in terms of accuracy
[22:11:15] -!-
awallin has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
[22:11:24] <toastydeath> for five axis things
[22:12:32] <toastydeath> as far as I've seen EMC's lookahead is limited to one move
[22:14:33] <anonimasu> mhm..
[22:15:46] <anonimasu> in short, high speed loops at corners for precise stuff...
[22:17:18] <toastydeath> any sort of deviation
[22:17:38] <toastydeath> you can run all your motors at a high speed, but when that move comes to an end, you're going to have trouble
[22:21:33] <toastydeath> a 5 axis or higher contouring control essentially compiles the next couple hundred moves into acceleration values for the machine
[22:22:02] <toastydeath> so that when there's only a slight bend, it doesn't have to slow down much
[22:22:18] <toastydeath> but when there's a slight bend followed immediatly by a very sharp bend, it knows it has to slow down a lot to meet that second move
[22:22:29] <toastydeath> despite being able to take that first move no problem
[22:22:40] <anonimasu> basically what you'd do for lookahead is to see if the machine can make the move happen
[22:23:46] <toastydeath> lookahead is a plan the machine develops so it can make the move happen given the acceleration constraints
[22:23:59] <toastydeath> not strictly "can i" but "what do i need to do so that"
[22:25:11] <anonimasu> isnt that usually slowing down the previous move so you can be within constraints
[22:25:34] <toastydeath> slowing down several moves prior, yes
[22:26:14] <anonimasu> isnt that just adding a extra step to traj..
[22:26:26] <toastydeath> not from what i've seen, no
[22:26:46] <toastydeath> i don't know how emc does it currently, i am not a person who runs emc
[22:26:58] <toastydeath> does it as in, in code
[22:27:22] <toastydeath> most controls now do actual compiling of the toolpath into one unified acceleration profile
[22:27:40] <toastydeath> not just lookahead, because you can have 100 tiny, .0001" moves and then one that screws you up.
[22:31:51] <anonimasu> well, the current traj does blending of thoose moves
[22:32:55] <toastydeath> blending in what sense?

mhaberler has quit [Quit: mhaberler]
[22:33:18] <toastydeath> i'm not talking about a straight move, i'm talking about a typical 5 axis part where you have a bunch of nonlinear moves in .0001" increments
[22:33:40] <JT-Shop> does it blend more than XYZ moves with the naive came detector?
[22:37:45] <toastydeath> JT-Shop, i hope you aren't asking me because i don't know the technical details of what emc does

i_tarzan has quit [Ping timeout: 252 seconds]
[22:37:46] <toastydeath> sorry
[22:37:59] <JT-Shop> just asking in general
[22:40:00] * anonimasu is reading trajectory planning stuff
[22:40:26] <toastydeath> also this talk of trajectory planning worries me
[22:40:50] <toastydeath> because to me that implies a velocity driven control rather than an accel driven control
[22:41:32] <SWPadnos> the toolpath is specified with a velocity, not an acceleration
[22:41:41] <JT-Shop> toastydeath:
http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/common_User_Concepts.html
[22:41:58] <SWPadnos> so the control must use whatever acceleration it has to attempt to do what the operator asked for, which is to move at a given velocity
[22:42:09] <toastydeath> right, i am saying that other controls moved to acceleration rather than velocity
[22:42:21] <toastydeath> and some of the fanciest are using jerk
[22:42:40] <anonimasu> like the s-curve one we looked at a odd 4 years ago
[22:42:52] <toastydeath> ty for the link, by the way
[22:43:24] <SWPadnos> the order (algebraic) of the calculation doesn't change the fact that the planner is calculating a trajectory, IMO
[22:43:54] <SWPadnos> ie, whether it accel limits, jerk limits, snap limits, etc, doesn't make it a trajectory planner or not a trajectory planner
