I'm fooling around with servos again, and I thought I'd put this one to the group.
Velocity command is +/- 10 VDC, and produces proportionate speed in the direction indicated by polarity.
Torque command does the same as velocity, with respect to torque.
Now the question - why would one be better than the other for certain applications?
My theory is, with velocity, we want a controlled speed and don't care how much, or how little, torque it takes to produce it. With Torque control, we want a specific amount of rotary force, and don't care how fast or slow we move to get it.
Am I right? Wrong? Waaaaay wrong?
