    • smartCurrentLimit

      public SparkBaseConfig smartCurrentLimit(int stallLimit)
      Sets the current limit in Amps.

      The motor controller will reduce the controller voltage output to avoid surpassing this limit. This limit is enabled by default and used for brushless only. This limit is highly recommended when using the NEO brushless motor.

      The NEO Brushless Motor has a low internal resistance, which can mean large current spikes that could be enough to cause damage to the motor and controller. This current limit provides a smarter strategy to deal with high current draws and keep the motor and controller operating in a safe region.

      Parameters:
      stallLimit - The current limit in Amps.
      Returns:
      The modified SparkBaseConfig object for method chaining

    • smartCurrentLimit

      public SparkBaseConfig smartCurrentLimit(int stallLimit, int freeLimit)
      Sets the current limit in Amps.

      The motor controller will reduce the controller voltage output to avoid surpassing this limit. This limit is enabled by default and used for brushless only. This limit is highly recommended when using the NEO brushless motor.

      The NEO Brushless Motor has a low internal resistance, which can mean large current spikes that could be enough to cause damage to the motor and controller. This current limit provides a smarter strategy to deal with high current draws and keep the motor and controller operating in a safe region.

      The controller can also limit the current based on the RPM of the motor in a linear fashion to help with controllability in closed loop control. For a response that is linear the entire RPM range leave limit RPM at 0.

      Parameters:
      stallLimit - The current limit in Amps at 0 RPM.
      freeLimit - The current limit at free speed (5700RPM for NEO).
      Returns:
      The modified SparkBaseConfig object for method chaining

    • smartCurrentLimit

      public SparkBaseConfig smartCurrentLimit(int stallLimit, int freeLimit, int limitRpm)
      Sets the current limit in Amps.

      The motor controller will reduce the controller voltage output to avoid surpassing this limit. This limit is enabled by default and used for brushless only. This limit is highly recommended when using the NEO brushless motor.

      The NEO Brushless Motor has a low internal resistance, which can mean large current spikes that could be enough to cause damage to the motor and controller.

      The controller can also limit the current based on the RPM of the motor in a linear fashion to help with controllability in closed loop control. For a response that is linear the entire RPM range leave limit RPM at 0.

      Parameters:
      stallLimit - The current limit in Amps at 0 RPM.
      freeLimit - The current limit at free speed (5700RPM for NEO).
      limitRpm - RPM less than this value will be set to the stallLimit, RPM values greater than limitRpm will scale linearly to freeLimit
      Returns:
      The modified SparkBaseConfig object for method chaining

    • secondaryCurrentLimit

      public SparkBaseConfig secondaryCurrentLimit(double limit)
      Sets the secondary current limit in Amps.

      The motor controller will disable the output of the controller briefly if the current limit is exceeded to reduce the current. This limit is a simplified 'on/off' controller. This limit is enabled by default but is set higher than the default Smart Current Limit.

      The time the controller is off after the current limit is reached is determined by the parameter limitCycles, which is the number of PWM cycles (20kHz). The recommended value is the default of 0 which is the minimum time and is part of a PWM cycle from when the over current is detected. This allows the controller to regulate the current close to the limit value.

      The total time is set by the equation t = (50us - t0) + 50us * limitCycles t = total off time after over current t0 = time from the start of the PWM cycle until over current is detected

      Parameters:
      limit - The current limit in Amps.
      Returns:
      The modified SparkBaseConfig object for method chaining
