What it does
- Connects to a Simple FOC device through the Commander serial interface and works with Simple FOC library version 2.1.
- Tunes motor PID and low-pass filter parameters in real time, using either a form view or a tree view.
- Plots and monitors motor variables live.
- Generates Arduino code with the tuned parameters to paste into a sketch's setup function before motor.init().
- Supports custom Commander commands, a jogging panel for moving the motor with buttons, and an integrated serial terminal.
- Also offers a standardized SimpleFOCConnector Python interface for scripting against the device.
