## Detailed Description

A helper class that computes feedforward outputs for a simple arm (modeled as a motor acting against the force of gravity on a beam suspended at an angle).

## ◆ ArmFeedforward()

 constexpr frc::ArmFeedforward::ArmFeedforward ( units::volt_t kS, units::volt_t kCos, units::unit_t< kv_unit > kV, units::unit_t< ka_unit > kA = units::unit_t(0) )
inlineconstexpr

Creates a new ArmFeedforward with the specified gains.

Parameters
 kS The static gain, in volts. kCos The gravity gain, in volts. kV The velocity gain, in volt seconds per radian. kA The acceleration gain, in volt seconds^2 per radian.

## ◆ Calculate()

 units::volt_t frc::ArmFeedforward::Calculate ( units::unit_t< Angle > angle, units::unit_t< Velocity > velocity, units::unit_t< Acceleration > acceleration = units::unit_t(0) ) const
inline

Calculates the feedforward from the gains and setpoints.

Parameters
 angle The angle setpoint, in radians. velocity The velocity setpoint, in radians per second. acceleration The acceleration setpoint, in radians per second^2.
Returns
The computed feedforward, in volts.

## ◆ MaxAchievableAcceleration()

 units::unit_t frc::ArmFeedforward::MaxAchievableAcceleration ( units::volt_t maxVoltage, units::unit_t< Angle > angle, units::unit_t< Velocity > velocity )
inline

Calculates the maximum achievable acceleration given a maximum voltage supply, a position, and a velocity.

Useful for ensuring that velocity and acceleration constraints for a trapezoidal profile are simultaneously achievable - enter the velocity constraint, and this will give you a simultaneously-achievable acceleration constraint.

Parameters
 maxVoltage The maximum voltage that can be supplied to the arm. angle The angle of the arm velocity The velocity of the arm.
Returns
The maximum possible acceleration at the given velocity and angle.

## ◆ MaxAchievableVelocity()

 units::unit_t frc::ArmFeedforward::MaxAchievableVelocity ( units::volt_t maxVoltage, units::unit_t< Angle > angle, units::unit_t< Acceleration > acceleration )
inline

Calculates the maximum achievable velocity given a maximum voltage supply, a position, and an acceleration.

Useful for ensuring that velocity and acceleration constraints for a trapezoidal profile are simultaneously achievable - enter the acceleration constraint, and this will give you a simultaneously-achievable velocity constraint.

Parameters
 maxVoltage The maximum voltage that can be supplied to the arm. angle The angle of the arm acceleration The acceleration of the arm.
Returns
The maximum possible velocity at the given acceleration and angle.

## ◆ MinAchievableAcceleration()

 units::unit_t frc::ArmFeedforward::MinAchievableAcceleration ( units::volt_t maxVoltage, units::unit_t< Angle > angle, units::unit_t< Velocity > velocity )
inline

Calculates the minimum achievable acceleration given a maximum voltage supply, a position, and a velocity.

Useful for ensuring that velocity and acceleration constraints for a trapezoidal profile are simultaneously achievable - enter the velocity constraint, and this will give you a simultaneously-achievable acceleration constraint.

Parameters
 maxVoltage The maximum voltage that can be supplied to the arm. angle The angle of the arm velocity The velocity of the arm.
Returns
The minimum possible acceleration at the given velocity and angle.

## ◆ MinAchievableVelocity()

 units::unit_t frc::ArmFeedforward::MinAchievableVelocity ( units::volt_t maxVoltage, units::unit_t< Angle > angle, units::unit_t< Acceleration > acceleration )
inline

Calculates the minimum achievable velocity given a maximum voltage supply, a position, and an acceleration.

Useful for ensuring that velocity and acceleration constraints for a trapezoidal profile are simultaneously achievable - enter the acceleration constraint, and this will give you a simultaneously-achievable velocity constraint.

Parameters
 maxVoltage The maximum voltage that can be supplied to the arm. angle The angle of the arm acceleration The acceleration of the arm.
Returns
The minimum possible velocity at the given acceleration and angle.
