My simple drives are the same way. Requiring a few percent of pwm. I thought it was you that mentioned you could enter negative deadband into emc (in wichita)... I have used this in testing but have not actually tried it on a machine. I defiantly makes the dead spot at rest smaller - if not

[Emc-developers] PID / Servo deadband

2009-12-04 Thread Jon Elson
I've been tinkering with some brushless drives and have found something that I'd like to improve. My brushless amps have a minimum pulse width they will respond to. Depending on which transistors I am using, I have different deadtime selections in the CPLD, so it goes from about 400 ns to 1 us.
