- Add additional information in the output generated by rampgen in order
to allow recalculating the acceleration curves independently
- Implement motion ramp checks inside test_motion_ramp.py
test_motion_ramp reads the output of a merged stepping sequence and
splits the motion of each axis, checking the acceleration curves
independently.
This ensures both that the acceleration curves are correct (as generated
by the PulseGen class) and that the multiplexed moves are too.
The nominal rate is checked exactly, while the acceleration/deceleration
segment allow for some deviation from an ideal curve.
This is currently 5% for both expected speed and acceleration, with
an absolute limit of 20mm/s of maximum difference in each point.
- Remove motion::dual_move_ramp from the Catch2 tests and reimplement
it as a minimal c++ program for the ramp validation.
- Add a skeleton python validator to check the ramp output
- Use test "fixtures" to ensure the rampgen is run (both as a test,
and to generate output) when the test_motion_ramp.py is requested.
Introduces:
- config::Unit: base class for physical quantities
- motion::AxisUnit: type-checked steps type
"config/unit.h" defines basic physical quantities, which are not
normally used elsewhere besides config.h.
"modules/axisunit.h" extends the modules::motion namespace with
Axis-aware units, with one type per axis per unit.
P_pos_t defines step positions for the pulley, I_pos_t for the idler,
etc. These are defined through the literar operators which are
similarly named and automatically convert a physical quantity to an
AxisUnit at compile time:
P_pos_t pulley_pos = 10.0_P_mm;
Besides type-checking, AxisUnit are otherwise identical to raw step
counts and are intended to be used along with the updated Motion API.
PlanMove/PlanMoveTo has been extended to support moves using these units
or physical quantities. Again, conversion is performed at compile time.
