I actually did just that!

    if( fabs( position_command_in - old_pos ) > 1E-7 ){
       t = timeout;
       old_pos = position_command_in;
   } else {
       t -= fperiod;
   }

you see how I change old_pos only if a move of sufficient magnitude
 occurs.

So I could move at 0.0001 IPM and it would actually work just fine, not that
I would ever want that.
