Charles The idea of dynamic parameters is what we would be looking for. I will support that notion as it is very frustrating having to restart the system constantly. Some parameters like PID tuning / servo parameters are done on the fly if you use the calibration function. I don't see why that is possible and the rest not. Well I say that without having real knowledge of the inner workings of LNCN.
