Upgrade

New scenario

It is a new “Getting started” scenario I will advertise. As parameters count and ranges didn’t stabilize yet, it is advised to choose a model from provided ones and modify them as needed. It is instead of creating a model from scratch, which is still (and will be) possible, but not the easiest way yet.

Motors

As new motors are grouping and replacing a bunch of old parameters, you need to make these updates for your models. You can easily do this by the button Stepper5.Upgrade v0.6->v0.7. Here are changes that will be done. Notice how old parameters maps to new ones and how new ones are brought in.

horizontalMotor.distanceToSpeed <= approachSpeedMultiplier
horizontalMotor.maxSpeed        
horizontalMotor.speedDifToAccel <= approachAccelerationMultiplier
horizontalMotor.maxAccel        <= maxAcceleration
                
verticalMotor.distanceToSpeed   <= jumpy
verticalMotor.maxSpeed
verticalMotor.speedDifToAccel   <= jumpy2
verticalMotor.maxAccel          <= maxAcceleration
                
rotationMotor.distanceToSpeed   <= gaitRotSpeedMul;
rotationMotor.maxSpeed
rotationMotor.speedDifToAccel   <= gaitRotForceMul;
rotationMotor.maxAccel

Horizontal, vertical and rotation motors are located in Stepper5. Jump motor is located in MoveControl1 - it is because jumping is actually, achieved by modification of Stepper5.verticalMotor.
