[Emc-users] brushless motors

2008-04-15 Thread Jon Elson
Hello, gang, I got a Giddings and Lewis brushless motor off eBay a while ago, and finally got around to trying it with my brushless drive. It is a SSM430 size 42 motor, rated at 30 Lb-In continuous stall. I had to fool around with the commutation encoder phasing to get it to work right, and th
