Possible to drive other motors using this board/firmware?
shane0926 opened this issue · 2 comments
I have some 13" wheels that have a different motor configuration than that of the hoverboard motors. My motors have less stator arms/windings. Is it possible to alter the firmware to account for this? Currently, when I drive the motor, it stalls easily and runs jerky with high amps.
I'm not sure if the positioning of the hall sensors is causing the issue? Here is a photo of my motor and an image of the hoverboard motor.
Hi, could be that indeed you have a different Hall configuration. Possibly you have a 60 deg configuration and not a 120 deg configuration (120 deg is what the firmware expects).
According to this article, it should work by inverting Hall 3 sensor in the code bldc.c

Give it a try, I don't guarantee anything but it worth trying.
