[Emc-developers] BLDC Trapezoidal / Hall driver

2010-06-16 Thread Andy Pugh
I have this working nicely in bipolar 3-wire mode (as shown in the Youtube video) then decided to elaborate it a bit to 6-wire which will follow shortly. The 6-wire version should allow for driving BLDC motors direct from a P-Port, optionally with some intervening power electronics. This 3-wire ve

Looks good. I can't listen to the sound until later today. When you say the performance is similar, do you mean torque, torque ripple, or what? Also, I meant to ask previously: What's the motivation for doing this in EMC vs using SoftDMC? (Sorry if this is a stupid question.. I don't know much ab
