Oblarg’s link refers to an addition to the WPIlib for 2020.
I recommend using the search feature on the forum. You’re not the first person to ask this question. There’s a lot more than I listed below. Cheesy poofs’ conference video is pretty helpful in understanding what motion profiling is.
How does Motion Profiling work and how do you implement it into code?
I’ve been starting to research into some more advanced techniques for robot controlling and I stumbled upon what’s called motion profiling. I looked a little more on this on the internet and I found out a little about the trapezoidal and s-curve profiles. However all I know is the kinematic relationships (velocity, acceleration…) and I’m confused about how to take this to the useful level. Could the awesome robotics community out there help me in learning the basics of motion profiling and how t…
This week was very productive for my programming team. We managed to implement motion profiling two different ways using Jaci’s Pathfinder and Talon SRX motor controllers.
One team managed to create integrate via Jaci’s instructions to varying results and generated a command to drive the path. the other team used the path generated by Pathfinder and commanded via the Talon MPE interface.
Both had varying results because we didn’t spend any time tuning the PIDF parameters of their respective dr…
