BLDCs ahhh!
Yeah despite their magnificent power, incredible versatility and longevity they can be tricky rotors to handle particularly so when you are attempting something very much adventurous while you lack any particular experience with any of the tools or notions required. This recapitalize my case with using BLDCs for my robotic project OmniSTARK. I had not only to care for my envisioned application requirements that is the software and hardware stack needed to achieve certain capabilities. I literally put my feet in my own way and decided to go with incompatible parts completely out of the blue -not really !- picking the parts that can handle the job needed.
So far I have finished most of my mechanical and structural parts and have run the initial setup of all motors in a full assembly. From my first trials I am bringing you some of the ideas and notions that you will hear a lot when trying to learn or research the BLDCs. These do not necessarily make sense straight out of the equations but seeing it happening live with my own project will help -you know-illustrate the notions and see those effects in real.
The first video will present some of the basics I follow while I am doing trials with lipos on.
In the second video I will demo the torque issues I had with this setup, a spoiler allert I am no mechanical engineer for that matter :)
I hope you find this educative and would appreciate any corrections or guidance with the subject, I am still learning on the go !

At the end the idea behind the series and the naming is in the following video for the curious.
I will try and post whenever I find the way to solve these issues and will not shame from receiving any of your advice if you have any.
Until the next making adventure, bless you and peace !
