Tom,

The FIR filter should work just as well when changing directions. Indeed, you want to back off the throttle from the one direction before increasing in the other direction. Of course, you may want to try using the new Jaguars for this. Also, something other than constant coefficients for the FIR would be interesting...

JMHO.
