  ## PINS

- **simple-tp.*N*.target-pos float in**

  target position to plan for.

- **simple-tp.*N*.maxvel float in**

  Maximum velocity

- **simple-tp.*N*.maxaccel float in**

  Acceleration rate

- **simple-tp.*N*.enable bit in**

  If disabled, planner sets velocity to zero immediately.

- **simple-tp.*N*.current-pos float out**

  position commanded at this point in time.
