Smooth transition between movements in LINEAR_SPEED Profile

[vovagorodok]

There no posibility to make movemebts where starting/ending RPM is not zero.
For example moves like:

Proposed in BasicStepperDriver to have method like:

void move(long steps, float startRPM, float endRPM);
or
void move(long steps, float endRPM); // end remember last/startRPM = endRPM

For more motors:

void move(long steps1, long steps2, float endRPM1, float endRPM2);

It will open possibility to make constructions/chains like:

void move(steps_to_x1, steps_to_y1, -1, 4);
void move(steps_to_x2, steps_to_y2, 4, 1);
void move(steps_to_x3, steps_to_y3, 0, 0);

Or there is another idea how to make that moves?

This is a limitation of this simple library. This library precalculates the expensive acceleration parameters before the move. To change speed on-the-fly it would have to do so between steps, it might take too long for slower chips.

You could try the AccelStepper library

If the movement is complex and the project can afford an additional 328, you could load GRBL (the CNC control language that 3D printers also use) and send G-code commands to it over serial from your main processor. It's designed for multi-axis control so you can easily drive even 3 or 4 motors with it.
