@David_Gonzalez thanks for the input! I wanted to test again and have now measured my smaller 2836 motor and it has 0.5Ohm! Okay - I think I might have burned the chip then and before with the bigger motor or I’m doing something wrong. I btw found BLDC motors | Arduino-FOC for anyone stumbling on here with these questions - which answers all my questions and I can’t believe I didn’t see it - kinda remember it maybe a few weeks ago.
@Owen_Williams, @David_Gonzalez I tested the voltage_limit but I’m not sure - from the documentation it reads like motor.PI_velocity.voltage_limit is only in the examples of position and motion/angle control and the diagram pictures only have the limiter in these modes?
But I tried it with Voltage mode and ::voltage (basically the pole pair script) with the limit at 1V and 0.1V inserted just before motor init - and it also felt like it did nothing. I think I burned the driver - even though I had it always running just for a couple of seconds it now just tries to move the motor a little bit but pulls 10A @12V (which doesn’t look that good)
Do you think the chip is burned with this behavior? Or am I just using the voltage_limit wrong?
