Position control of motor #3

Closed teddyort closed 4 years ago

teddyort commented 4 years ago

Currently, the motor position is controlled through a handcrafted trapezoidal velocity curve to ensure accelerations are within limit.

However, this may not be the most appropriate, especially considering we may need to set the position at a higher frequency.

Perhaps a PI or PID controller over acceleration or velocity would be more advisable
Alternatively, perhaps a position control servo or motor controller with position control and max_velocity control would be more robust

We should do some testing / research
