I can answer Q3: You can protect your stepper motor spec on the HAL level. To ensure the acceleration and maximum velocity values are never violated one could drive the stepper via PID loop tuned with the correct parameters. If you want to ensure the user cannot edit or override the values you c

Thanks for taking the time to reply Alex, Re Q3 and using HAL to control the stepper motor. Is there some example you know of that I could review? If not, does this approach employ some sort of Trajectory Planner API, or would this approach require implementing a TP from scratch. If I understa

Hedge Hog- I have been struggling with what appear to be similar issues with the general concepts that you have been. I have written some notes to myself about what I have discovered at [link](https://github.com/bschousek/piphat/blob/master/idiot.md) and perhaps they will be useful to you as w
