Re: [Emc-users] Field Oriented Control (FOC) algorithm for BLDC and Stepper motors.

Linuxcnc with the bldc component can certainly drive an induction motor or other 3-phase motor as a variable frequency drive, but I have never heard the term "VFD" used for driving two-phase steppers before. What Andy was suggesting, and what I looked up, was doing the full FOC drive of steppers

Thanks, this might be of value to someone who wants a VFD for the cost of a few h-bridges. On Wed, Jan 12, 2022 at 6:35 PM Ralph Stirling < ralph.stirl...@wallawalla.edu> wrote: > The bldc.c component computes the two-phase sin/cos > terms from phase angle, but I don't think it outputs them, >

The bldc.c component computes the two-phase sin/cos terms from phase angle, but I don't think it outputs them, so a very slight modification would be necessary. The sin/cos output values would be connected to PWM inputs in hostmot2, which would generate the actual signals for two H-bridges to

So how would I connect the four wire stepper motor to my PC to allow for software commutation and continuous rotation of a stepper? If this works, it could save people money by eliminating the need for a VFD spindle drive and also People are paying quite a lot for these self-contained

I made my wrench about 12 years ago - or more. It is just made from mild steel heated and quenched in oil just to put a black finish on it. It has worked well in my hobby shop and the teeth show no signs of wear. It seemed like the ones I could buy at the time were too expensive and I was probably

I think you can find even cheaper ones on Amazon, the hook style ones are around $8US, and the same style you linked to can be had for as little as $11US. All with free shipping with Prime. We normally use a hook style end on a torque wrench for tightening (to 90ft-lbs on ER40 collet nuts and

The length of the handle is purposely short as most people will use way too much torque to tighten the lock nut. Exceeding the chuck manufacturer's torque specification will not help in the holding capability and will result in less accuracy of the resulting assembly. Over torquing the assembly
