SimpleFOC is very simple, not great performance for our vehicles last time I looked. Great for making cute robots etc.john61ct said:Nice!
Came across this SimpleFOC project from the RC / robotics world, might be educational.

Their definition of FOC:
Using a microprocessor to control the stator winding current in such a way that it always applies torque to the rotor. The processor continuously measures both motor current (think: shunt resistor) and rotor position (think: encoder), and the algorithm includes bits of linear algebra, motor physics, and control theory.
Question: does FOC only apply to BLDC motors??
Could you clarify "multiple sets"?mxlemming said:FOC applies to any motor with a rotor field and multiple sets of windings.
Not a great definition. It does not require a processor; you can do it with analog circuitry if you really want to.john61ct said:Their definition of FOC:
Not at all. It applies to any motor where you can control the phase angle of at least one set of coils. BLDC, induction, SR, even stepper can be driven via FOC.Question: does FOC only apply to BLDC motors??

Is there a foc fw-hardware that accelerates from 0 rpm by providing full torque full power? is there an "FOC" with a hardstarts?
