Old roadmap
Motion Control and FOC algorithm
- Motor control: Low-side current sensing - No.1
- Motor control: Inline current sensing with DMA - No.2
- Motor control: High-side current sensing
- Bugfix: Floating point angle overflow
- Motor control: Inline current sensing
- Motor control: Support for stepper motors
- Motor control: Support for Hall sensor commutation
- Motor control: Support for fully open-loop operation (no sensor)
- Add support for acceleration ramping
- Velocity Low pass filter
- Timer interrupt execution rather than in the
loop()
: ❌ No real performance improvement - Sine wave lookup table implementation
- Implement Space Vector Modulation method : Pure SVM
- Implement Space Vector Modulation method : PWM SVM
