Dealing with Acceleration in Automation
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2016 5:08 pm
Good afternoon all-
I have an automation controller that travels a surface I am tracking. My issues are with the Ramp up/down times. How can I better adjust for this. Right now its pretty straight forward.
The input is 16bit DMX, I have a range of 10,000 to 50,000. This is translated via a Range node, that converts into X pos in PB. start of .5 to 5
My question is how have you all who have dealt with this, accounting for and the ability to adjust for the ramp up and ramp down. The ramp up/down is seen in the DMX value. But if the device in PB is quicker or slower in a linear fashion than the set piece, how have you all accounted for that.
With the Filter Prediction node combined with a delta node, I see promise. But the issue I have seen, I can get it ahead to help speed up. At the end of travel, the ramp down happens, and the device layer gets ahead of the screen.
If there is something that documents automation with Widget Designer, I would love to read. I've looked around the Forum but have not been able to find what I am looking for.
My apologies for not quiet understanding this, its a new one for me.
Thank you all for any help.
