Unit Roller485 - ease in out in position mode?

[bontempos]

This is the closest I got on a code which provides some sort of acceleration/deaceleration on jumping btw positions. I wonder if is there an official way to achieve this smoothly. Thanks

#include "unit_rolleri2c.hpp"
#include <M5Unified.h>
