DCC1120_0: Current Sensor v. Motor Controller

[jsmad]

Hello,

I am running a BLDC on a DCC1120_0; I would like a way of tracking motor current while the motor is running. Is this possible? Does it require a second DCC1120_0? Or can I switch between BLDC control mode and current sensing while the motor is running? Can I track both motor velocity and current simultaneously?

Thanks!

NVM... It looks like I can open both channels simultaneously in code. I should be good to go!!

I see you found it, but yes, you are meant to open the CurrentInput channel at the same time as the motor controller channel to monitor current while the motor is moving.
