Gene, to clarify a bit, the only reason we're seeing those velocity humps is because we're pushing the path as fast as it will go. Since the requested feed rate is far above what the machine config can actually do, the feed that the trajectory planner produces is limited by the maximum velocities of each segment. The trajectory planner will never exceed your requested feed rate (other than by feed override), so you won't see those humps at a reasonable feed rate. You might benefit from the "ramp frequency" setting in the new TP. I talked about this in the forum post<http://www.linuxcnc.org/index.php/english/forum/10-advanced-configuration/27368-new-trajectory-planner-testersprograms-wanted?start=130#44474>, but basically, it reduces jerks by using constant acceleration during short segments. If you set the frequency lower, it will smooth more aggressively. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
