Roadmap
For more info about the features of library releases visit the github releases .
Motion Control and FOC algorithm
- Motor control: FOC using IMU - camera gimbal and similar applications
- Motor control: Low-side current sensing
- Motor control: High-side current sensing
- 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
MCU support
- Hardware specific code separation : easier porting in between devices
hardware_utils.cpp/.h - Teensy support
