In what unit is ConfigurableJoint.targetAngularVelocity expressed?

Questions & Answers
1

I have a configurable joint which is in velocity mode for `angularXDrive` and `angularYZDrive`, with `Maximum Force` set at `infinity`. I use `targetAngularVelocity` to set the joint's velocity.

But I don't know what unit is `targetAngularVelocity`. I thought it would be in degrees per second, but it's not. I tried with an angular velocity of (10, 0, 0) assuming it would rotate by 10 degrees every second, but it makes roughly a whole revolution (360 degrees) every second.

So I was wondering what the unit was.

I would guess it's probably radians per second. 10 radians per second would be 360 degrees in about 2/3 of a second, which sounds close to the speed you said it looked like it was moving.

In case you don't know, to convert from degrees to radians just divide by 180 and multiply by pi (Mathf.PI), and the opposite to convert from radians to degrees.
