This library contains an assortment of drivers and supporting code for SimpleFOC.

The intent is to keep the core of SimpleFOC clean, and thus easy to maintain, understand and port to different platforms. In addition to this core, there are various drivers and supporting code which has grown around SimpleFOC, and which we would like to make available to the community.

v1.0.2 - Released Oct 2022, for Simple FOC 2.2.3

What's changed since 1.0.1?

• Calibrated sensor by @MarethyuPrefect
• New Sensors: MT6701, MA330, MT6816
• Fixes bugs

The simplest way to get hold of the library is directly by using Arduino IDE and its integrated Library Manager.

• Open Arduino IDE and start Arduino Library Manager by clicking: Tools > Manage Libraries....
• Search for Simple FOC drivers library and install the latest version.
• Reopen Arduino IDE and you should have the library examples in File > Examples > Simple FOC drivers.

• Go to the github repository
• Click first on Clone or Download > Download ZIP.
• Unzip it and place it in Arduino Libraries folder. Windows: Documents > Arduino > libraries.
• Reopen Arduino IDE and you should have the library examples in File > Examples > Simple FOC drivers.

You can copy parts of the library, for example to minimize your code size, or make it easier to add adaptations of your own. If you do so, please be sure to adhere to and include the LICENSE.
