JSON file for a new motor to upload in Workbench?

[Boris_L]

Hello. I try to start a new project with two non-listed motors in Workbench. I use two gimbal 3-phase BLDC motor with encoder AS5048A https://cdn.sparkfun.com/assets/d/6/b/5/8/27477_27478_Datasheet.pdf Based on the motorShinano.json file, I built my own JSON file, please see below. However, I have the following questions. What to write in the compatibility: "sixStep"? The motor has the encoder. Hence, should TRUE be for HasHallSensor? I use a Pololu power board (voltage regulator) https://www.pololu.com/product/5576 and two Sparkfun 3-phase BLDC motor drivers https://www.sparkfun.com/sparkfun-brushless-motor-driver-3-phase-tmc6300.html . Therefore, what to write for pwr_board? What to write for foc_rate? What to write for acceleration and max_speed_startup? Thank you.

Hello @Boris_L,

If you want to select "FOC" or "sixStep" algorithm, "compatibility" is correctly set.
"motorProfiler{}" is not required, you can remove it.
The "hasQuadratureEncoder" and "quadratureEncoder{}" parameters can be removed if you do not have a quadrature encoder.
One point: For the "magneticStructure" type, use "SM-PMSM" or "I-PMSM".

Hello GMA,

I do not use Hall sensor. I use the encoder AS5048A. Can I remove the Hall section in my code? Thank you.

Hello @Boris_L,

I made a mistake. You can remove hasHallSensor and hallSensor{}.
