schestowitz                                    <blockquote>Oct 24 06:51
schestowitz                                        <p>When commanding a moteus controller, many of the registers defined in the reference documentation give explicit semantics when the values is passed as either a floating point NaN value or the “maximally negative integer” for integer encodings. Those that do not specify a meaning for NaN are “undefined” and anything can happen. For the most part, this isn’t a problem, but in one specifOct 24 06:51

schestowitz                            <blockquote>Oct 24 11:35
schestowitz                                <p>We routinely reference a subset of something to refer to the whole. We might refer to a bicycle as a new set of wheels, even though it’s clearly more than that. We still refer to graphics cards as GPUs, and some people even still call desktop towers CPUs, despite there being far more components involved. The technically accurate crowd blanch at such use, but it’s common linguistic shorthand.</p>Oct 24 11:35
