Hi folks,
I’m currently experimenting with moveBy() commands in indoor environments. While this works well in general, I wonder if there’s a lower threshold on the dX/dY/dZ/dPsi values. More precisely, if I send small commands I instantly receive a moveByEnd() event in return which indicates zero movement. Here is an example:

Can someone confirm that there indeed are lower thresholds? If yes, at what level (I’d assume 50mm or 100mm, not sure about yaw)? Can they be adjusted? I was not able to find anything in the documentation concerning these questions, so maybe that needs an update if my assumption turns out to be true.
Best,
Dominik
PS: on a side note, it looks like I never get any dPsi value returned by moveByEnd at all. An example is here, where I moved 180° but it told me it didn’t yaw at all (and only performed very small translational movement):
