Motor doesn't turn in FOC mode

Hey @lulezi,

Were you able to get around this problem?
I would suggest you not to use the approach that you have shown but just use a function like this:


void changeZeroAngle() {
  
  // a string to hold incoming data
  static String received_chars;
  
  while (Serial.available()) {
    // get the new byte:
    char inChar = (char)Serial.read();
    // add it to the string buffer:
    received_chars += inChar;
    // end of user input
    if (inChar == '\n') {
      
      // chage the guess
      float guess = received_chars.toFloat()*2*_PI/360;
      motor.zero_electric_angle = guess;      
      // reset the command buffer 
      received_chars = "";
    }
  }
}

And then just add this function to your loop():

void loop(){
    ...
   changeZeroAngle();
}

Then you just send a number in between 0 and 360 through serial. This will allow you to guess quicker and more precisely.

Otherwise, since this is very strange problem and it is troubling me a bit I would be happy to sned you an additional SimpleFOCShield hoping that that might resolve the issue :smiley:
