Just limit3. I used the basic motion equations s=vt and v=at to estimate maxs, maxv and maxa to accelerate the spindle from 0 to 1500 in 3 seconds. It worked nicely. After configuring and being happy with the results, it suddenly stopped working and I spent the rest of the day trying to repair it. My problem was at low speeds, with the encoder.velocity being all over the place. I used lowpass, and got good enough results. Is there a component that will smooth out a curve? A moving average? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The NEW KODAK i700 Series Scanners deliver under ANY circumstances!
