Re: Benefits of "Periodic Tasks VI"?

Thanks Joe. So - if you've disabled the motor safeties, what happens if set speed is not called for say, 2 or 3 seconds. Does the motor stay at the last set point?

I ask because some of the Beta teams saw a noticeable improvement in CPU usage by putting a simple if/then around their set speed and only calling it on a change.
