stepTimerQuantum introduces discretization error, which makes the
acceleration curves noisy.
In rampgen generate ramps for a single moving axis in addition
of two axes moving together.
Then, in test_ramp_gen, test a single axis moving accurately, while
allow for some discretization error when two (or more) axes are running.
- 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.
