Greetings;

Some things in the man 9 pid page are too well hidden in the 
mathematical "jargon".

So can we clarify a few things?

like:
 pid.N.command-deriv float in
              The derivative of the desired (commanded) value for the 
control loop.  If no signal is connected then the derivative will be 
estimated numerically.

What for instance, would/should be connected here, and what would be the 
desired result of such a connection?  And in this context, what is a 
derivative?

Like:
 pid.N.error-previous-target bit in
              Use  previous invocation's target vs. current position for 
error calculation, like the motion controller expects.  This may make 
torque-mode position loops
              and loops requiring a large I gain easier to tune, by 
eliminating velocity-dependent following error.

Again to use this, what do we setp it to, mine is set true, and what 
would be the desired effect?

Like:
 pid.N.error float out
              The difference between command and feedback.

This, on my G0704 seems to be a constant zero at any gain setting of the 
halscope.  What is this trying to tell me?  And yes, its suitably 
addf'd. :)

Thats enough for one email session, but there is more to clarify 
eventually.

Thanks for any clarifications.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
