[Emc-users] BLDC Comp

2014-11-26 Thread Kirk Wallace
I'm playing with trying to run a 3P induction motor with bldc.comp. I set cfg=n which seems to just output three sine float values. I'm assuming that I could run these into three pwm comps then out to a set of half bridges, or is there an option that tells bldc to output the pwm directly? --
