long CamCycloidal(long master_position, long follower_position);
Adds a cycloidal curve to the table. The profile of a normalized
cycloidal curve is shown in Figure 2.1.
• The master_position argument defines the master position at the
end of the curve.
• The follower_position argument defines the follower position at the
end of the curve.
Returns 0 if successful, or -1 if there was an error.
This function requires three free segments.
