AS5048 skip calibration

Hello!

My English is not very good, I hope you can understand it.

I am trying to make the motor skip calibration and keep current angle.

Sometimes is work,
Sometimes the motor keeps going in the same direction.
Sometimes the motor does not rotate(electric current:0.4~0.5A).
Sometimes the motor CCW and CW speeds are different.

driver: L6234
position sensors: AS5048A
microcontroller: ESP32

Hey @Aaron,

Have you tried to run the example for finding zero offset?
There you should find the motor/sensor zero offset and the natural direction. After that you can just provide those values to the initFOC(offset, direction).
Since Arduino doesn’t have permanent memory, we cannot remember that value in between calls.
But if you run the example and copy the values to you code you should be set. :smiley:

Hi @Antun_Skuric
Thank you for your reply .

I changed my code

motor_1.initFOC(3.6501, Direction::CW);

3.6501 is Run example 《find_zero_offset_and_direction》 output value.
And
I don’t know how to keep the current angle when the motor is powered on(ControlType::angle).

Hey @Aaron,

Sorry for the delay, perfect, well done!

If you wish for the motor to start holding the position it is initially in you just need to change the initial target value.

After initFOC just add the line:

motor.target = motor.shaft_angle; // or sensor.getAngle();

Of it you are using something like motor.move(target_angle); make sure to initialise the target_angle to the initial sensor position. Something like:

float target_angle = motor.shaft_angle; // or sensor.getAngle();

Hi @Antun_Skuric
Thank you for your reply .

After initFOC add the line:

motor.target = sensor.getAngle();

But the motor will shake one time after initialization.
