FOC Controller - Code
11/09/2022 | Views: 30777 | Arduino | by: ELECTRONOOBS      


The next example is using the same code but instead of changing the position, we create a continuous loop and we change the delay in between each loop by reading the potentiometer. By that we control the speed so I upload this code and as you can see, we can now control the rotation speed using the potentiometer. The motor is still in FOC control but we change the frequency. It can go very slow. It almost looks like it doesn’t move, but trust me, it moves.
