38 - Drive M1 With Signed Speed And Acceleration
Drive M1 with a signed speed and acceleration value. The sign indicates which direction the
motor will run. The acceleration values are not signed. This command is used to drive the motor
by quad pulses per second and using an acceleration value for ramping. Different quadrature
encoders will have different rates at which they generate the incoming pulses. The values used
will differ from one encoder to another. Once a value is sent the motor will begin to accelerate
incrementally until the rate dened is reached.
Send: [Address, 38, Accel(4 Bytes), Speed(4 Bytes), CRC(2 bytes)]
Receive: [0xFF]
The acceleration is measured in speed increase per second. An acceleration value of 12,000
QPPS with a speed of 12,000 QPPS would accelerate a motor from 0 to 12,000 QPPS in 1 second.
Another example would be an acceleration value of 24,000 QPPS and a speed value of 12,000
QPPS would accelerate the motor to 12,000 QPPS in 0.5 seconds.
39 - Drive M2 With Signed Speed And Acceleration
Drive M2 with a signed speed and acceleration value. The sign indicates which direction the
motor will run. The acceleration value is not signed. This command is used to drive the motor
by quad pulses per second and using an acceleration value for ramping. Different quadrature
encoders will have different rates at which they generate the incoming pulses. The values used
will differ from one encoder to another. Once a value is sent the motor will begin to accelerate
incrementally until the rate dened is reached.

40 - Drive M1 / M2 With Signed Speed And Acceleration
Drive M1 and M2 in the same command using one value for acceleration and two signed speed
values for each motor. The sign indicates which direction the motor will run. The acceleration
value is not signed. The motors are sync during acceleration. This command is used to drive
the motor by quad pulses per second and using an acceleration value for ramping. Different
quadrature encoders will have different rates at which they generate the incoming pulses. The
values used will differ from one encoder to another. Once a value is sent the motor will begin to
accelerate incrementally until the rate dened is reached.
Send: [Address, 40, Accel(4 Bytes), SpeedM1(4 Bytes), SpeedM2(4 Bytes), CRC(2 bytes)]
