How to change minimum operating velocity/speed of Racecar to operate at lower speeds of 0.1 or 0.001 m/s #18

Hello Everyone, I working on to integrate Teb_Local_Planner (Ackermann Steering Planner) with MIT-Racecar configuration. But Racecar is not moving for Ackermann Speed commands lower than 0.23-0.24 m/s in any direction and for ackermann's planning in tight locations Speed profile is lower than that value most of the times. I wanted to know how parameters values or source code can be modified to make Racecar operate on lowest possible speeds.

Thank You, Amey Hande

Hello Amey,

I think this setting has to be modified in the vesc tool. By default when i ran my tests, i noticed that the motors started turning at a minimum of 900 eRPM. But unfortunately I do not know where this minimum operating parameter is in VESC tool.

It is in settable in the VESC tool. If you are doing speed control with pid, you can find it in speed controller pid settings.
