It works, kinda !

this is just the very first run, and to be honest I cannot claim I understand fully what's
going on because there's a phase inversion necessary somewhere that I don't understand....
but it works !
What it does in the video:
- first it determines the amplitude necessary for the tone
- then it forces the motor in a known position
- then the run starts (0.5A phase current). The updates in the magnet phase position are transferred to the
motor (after division by 2). What I don't get is that this needs an inversion but OK, will figure that out...
the laptop screen shows the phase of the signals powering the motor. The phase current is regulated
to 0.5A, this gives some power but it can be overcome by hand. It should speed up to higher speeds
with this current but the phase delay of the internal filters limits the rpm...
edit: figured out the negative... when the rotor moves forward the low-value inductance 'rotates' backward.
The low value inductance is the one having the magnet straight at its rotor teeth. In a 2-magnet 3-tooth motor,
when one magnet moves from stator tooth A to B, in the mean time the other magnet will move past
tooth C making C the low-value inductance. So the low value inductance 'rotates' from A to C while the
magnet moves from A to B -> this explains the inversion I need.
