I think you mean generating a trapezoidal acceleration profile based on a given distance, max acceleration, and max velocity, starting with zero velocity and acceleration.

We found that it was unnecessary to precalculate the profiles, as they were fairly simple to calculate.
Yes, but that didn't seem to be the question being asked in post50:

Quote:
Is there an advantage to using a motion profile with a constantly changing set-point? Obviously, the advantage of a motion profile is that you can travel over a pre-calculated path in a fairly efficient manner. How does this translate if you are dynamically adjusting your set point
