Trapezoidal Motion Profile Using Discrete Method

[martinrand]

Any idea how I would take 3 variables for a trapezoidal profile (Accel, Max Velocity and Target Position, *decel=-accel*) and convert that into x(t)?

Thanks for that!

Afraid I can't open the .exe as I'm using a mac. Any chance you have a mac version or source code available?
Thanks

You have the equations. Just put them into a spreadsheet or LabVIEW. Or install Maxima on your Mac and run the script I gave you.
