owlDrive
the smart Brushless Controller & Driver
owlDrive is a Field Oriented Control (FOC) driver for all kind of
DC brushless motors. It offers various features to configure different
motor types and the integrated controller can talk different protocols
on different hardware. The easy configuration interface via
USB serial terminal provides a simple but effective
configuration menu to the user, without specific software
apps or tools.

See how the FOC driver works

owlDrive Controller Protocol overview

UART and USB serial uses FOC commander protocol which communicates directly with the FOC-controller.
The configuration (motor config, motion config, CAN config etc.) can be changed and saved via USB serial or CAN bus.

Motion control overview

owlDrive supports three main motion control modes:
• torque (the voltage as target for the motor)
• velocity (shaft velocity as target for the motor)
• position control (shaft angle as target for the motor)
The velocity control mode depends on the torque control mode
and the position control on the torque control mode.

Example application: motor angle synchronization
In this application two synchronize two or more motors to work as one or just synchron..
Look to this Youtube viedo, too: https://youtu.be/VXMFU5v6qYA
The first motor (master) will broadcast its shaft angle and the remaining motors (slave)will follow this shaft angle
(they will use it as their target angle).
