// The goal of this code is to take a series of scheduled stepper
|
|
// pulse times and compress them into a handful of commands that can
|
|
// be efficiently transmitted and executed on a microcontroller (mcu).
|
|
// The mcu accepts step pulse commands that take interval, count, and
|
|
// add parameters such that 'count' pulses occur, with each step event
|
|
// calculating the next step event time using:
|
|
// next_wake_time = last_wake_time + interval; interval += add
|
|
// This code is writtin in C (instead of python) for processing
|
|
// efficiency - the repetitive integer math is vastly faster in C.
