set parameter oplet

High level Parameters in the Dexter Firmware are set with the "S" Oplet. For direct control of low level FPGA parameters, see the "w" Oplet

Queued instructions are stored in the FPGA in an internal movement FIFO and executed sequentially.

Description
#, Name (use either)	min | initial | max in DDE units	min | initial | max in Dexter Firmware units
MaxSpeed: Queued. Maximum velocity of next move in "nbits"1. See also StartSpeed below.
0, MaxSpeed	0.001 | 30 | 45 deg/s	8 | 250000 | 348963 integer nbits
Acceleration: Queued. Maximum acceleration of next move in "nbits"1. Replaced by AngularAcceleration below
1, Acceleration	0.0001 | 0.0001 | 0.1 deg/s2	1 | 3 | 775 integer nbits
Joint Forces: How hard each joint tries to return to commanded position in force protect modes. Useful for removing the force of gravity. Also used to provide haptic force feedback in teleoperation or VR systems.

Joint Frictions: 2 The friction felt during FollowMe mode. Coefficient to scale the position error; feels like friction. Can be negative. Used in most modes, very important in follow mode. Frictions can be fractional, but are limited to a range of +-(256 + 1/256). E.g. 1.1 becomes 1 plus a fractional value of 25/256.

10, J4Friction	15 unitless	0-150 fixed point 8.8
11, J5Friction	15 unitless	0-150 fixed point 8.8
Joint Boundaries: Set all Boundaries at once with "B" Oplet. Maximum position past which the force position override will be reduced for each joint. Injects a negative force opposing the external force to limit the amount the joint will move to avoid external forces. (note order if referencing by number, Joint 3 and 2 are swapped here)

RunFile: Added 2018/10/12 If it exists, the file will be opened and all instructions from it parsed and executed. By convention, files end with .make_ins extension. Each line should be one instruction just like any sent over the socket connection (the job, instruction, start, and end time values are NOT included; start with the oplet). A sample line might be S J1_PID_P 0.2 ; set base drive Anything after a ';' is ignored allowing comments. Was 2018/08/24 "Ctrl" parms/values for compact setting of values related to operational mode but this was depreciated and replaced with RunFile.

Note 1 nbits are a value added to a register every clock cycle for a 128Khz clock such that once it overflows, an action will be taken. Converted automatically by DDE in the socket communications code for the "MaxSpeed", "StartSpeed", and "Acceleration" parameters. The global constant "_nbits_cf" is 7754.73550222 and the values given are multiplied by that constant. This converts degrees / second (or degrees / second / second in the case of Acceleration) into nbits. Setting these values too low with effectively lockup the FPGA as it will take far too long to complete a movement.

Note 2 Frictions can be fractional, but are limited to a range of +-(256 + 1/256). E.g. 1.1 becomes 1 plus a fractional value of 25/256
