On motor tuning when you set acceleration of say 50, what unit of measurement is that? I think it's ??/sec, but I can't remember.
Thanks

It is units (mm or inch) per second per second.

Can't seem to get my head wrapped around it. How would to write it out as a mathematical formula if the accell were 50 and the velocity were 500? What I'm trying to do is come up with the time it takes to accelerate from 0 to 500IPM with an acceleration setting of 50.
Thanks

Oh man its a Sunday evening here, my brain struggles to work at the best of times let alone Sundays ;D
Ok so acceleration = velocity/time
so Vel/Accel = time
Velocity = 500IPM so divide by 60 to get Inch per second = 8.333333333
Accel = 50 inch/s/s
so
8.33333/50 = 0.16 seconds
Hope thats right ::)

Thanks very much Hood. Makes sense now.
