What’s the current state of FOC? If there’s any at all.
I’ve got one of @chaka’s sensored motors and have been running it sensorless.
Decided I’d like to try sensored and figured I’d also try out FOC again, though I don’t know if sensored and FOC are good together.
This brings me to my question above. It’s been awhile since FOC was introduced, so I figured the testing phase should be long gone.
I wouldn’t try FOC with anything other than an Ollin, Enertion (FOCBOX), or Axle VESC. And even then I’d only try it out running sub 55k eRPM, most likely hubs for me.
I have a few setups on FOC and FOC Sensored and personally I don’t have much issues running in FOC. If you program it correctly it should be perfectly fine.
I’m using a FOCBOX with an E-Go2 motor in FOC sensored for the past week with no issue with as much abuse as I can put it through, though it is a relatively low power motor.
running FOC mode on FOCBOX with TB 6355… its sick and fast on 12s. too fast for me, once you get going it ramps up very quickly… starts need a lil push when unsensored for me, but the acceleration is fun.
Using FOC now for 9 months without issues with torqueboards vesc. 192kv/10s. Just make sure you properly do your detection. And maybe some luck (some nasty stories are drifting around here).
