"Free" is a term from the EMC days to indicate un-coordinated motion, each axis is free to move independently. At the user level, that is jogging and other things that happen in manual mode. The "free planner" is a simple trajectory planner that does a single axis trapzeoidal velocity profile. There is one free planner per joint, and they are used for jogging, homing moves, etc. -- John Kasunich jmkasun...@fastmail.fm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
