My first useful output from the simulation, as well, will be knowledge of whether / not I can reasonably expect my current physical axis (w/ speed, accel limits known to me) will be *enough* to spin up a pendulum of some length. -I'd also love to know / understand more about where-all / how friction values relate to damping terms. For the stepper, I'll completely simulate the damping, at the motor, but for the pendulum, I'd like to know what order magnitude to expect. +I'd also love to know / understand more about where-all / how friction values relate to damping terms.
