    Hmm.. I dont know why half of my text didn't show up.. but heres what I actually posted...

    Hello!

    My partner and I are building an autonomous line-following car with two DC motors (www.robotshop.com/.../12v-dc-motor-251rpm-encoder.html) which have hall effect encoders.

    We're wondering if we should be using the instaSPIN-FOC or instaSPIN-MOTION software to drive our motors.

    I've been reading the manual but I am struggling to see the big picture, heres the idea behind our project:

    1. Read our position from IR sensors
    2. Adjust PWM on one of the motors to correct our position
    3. Repeat

    I've seen that we could maybe get rid of the encoders and use the FAST software? I'd like to keep it as simple as possible!
    If someone could point me in the right direction, that would be great!

    As replied in your another post. You'd better to use sensored FOC if you need to run the motor with very low speed, and zero startup with heave load, or precise position control is necessary for you. The algorithm has instaSPIN-Motion, or the open source sensored-FOC in controlSUITE.
