Function Documentation

void plan_lookahead

(

void

)

Updates the motion plan for the entire planning queue, to account for the additional contraints on the motion plan, imposed by the last block that was added to the queue.

To use the lookahead component, this method should be called right after adding a new block to the planning queue.

The lookahead component tries to keep the speed in between blocks as high as possible, without causing jerky movement at the junctions between blocks.
