It does fix it. The feedback will cause the control loop to shift the commanded position away so that you ARE on the upslope of the torque curve. Its fundamentally how servos work. You need to develop Q(quadrature) current(flux) to get torque. The D(direct) current doesn't do any work. Technically, once you have feedback in a stepper system you can fully servo it and not require any 'holding current' if the application doesn't currently demand it. The fixed current most stepper drivers use is only because they don't know where they are in the DQ frame. So they provide a ton of D and shaft error shifts the angle to produce some Q. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Get your SQL database under version control now!
