Yes, and that could probably be used to drive your motor. Actually, it can certainly be used to drive your motor, but you might be a little short of current resolution as the 8i20 is a 20A drive and that is a 3A motor. You would need to delve into the poorly-documented mysteries of the bldc HAL component. -- atp The idea that there is no such thing as objective truth is, quite simply, wrong. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
