Hello,
first I have to say that I discovered the simpleFOC project some weeks ago and i am very excited about the possibilities offered by it !! I will for sure stay connected to see the next releases!
For an academic project, I have to drive a BLDC motor in velocity control, in the range of 0 to 300rpm.
The motor as well as the driver is not yet chosen and I would like to get feedback from experienced users
Regarding motors :
- What is the most suited for the range of speed I am willing to use : gimbal (like in gopro systems) or âhigh-performanceâ (like drone racing) motors ? I donât know if gimbal can rotate up to 300rpm as they are used in âquite slowâ systems ?
- Is the pair pole number very important regarding the smoothness of the rotation at small speed ?
The plan is to use the driver in closed-loop with the famous AS5048A magnetic encoder. These will be connected to an Arduino UNO (definitely not the fastest board but itâs off the shelfâŚ) and controlled by the nice simpleFOC library!
I have many small drone motors like this one : Turnigy 3020-1800 (see here). The low resistance of this motor will force me to use a âhigh-performanceâ driver board, right ?
and last question, more directed to the superAdmins/moderators, the simpleFOCDShield is out of stock in the shopfor the moment, when will be new boards be available ?
I thank you in advance for your advices and answers!
all the best!
