Original question:
Hello. I am trying to get an A2212 BLDC motor running off the MCT8316. I manage to get the motor to spin a couple revolutions before the motor locks up and it starts whining. I mostly trigger overcurrent faults, but I sometimes have also triggered motor lock faults. I've spent a lot of time adjusting the settings but cant get things to work. Is the A2212 even compatible with this motor driver?
Hi Tom,
In the MCT8316A GUI, we have provided pre-tuned values based on the end application and acceleration/startup profile. I would recommend you to check all the five settings. To access these pre-tuned settings, open the MCT8316A GUI, click "Guided tuning" and select the Application type. See screenshot below for reference.

I do not have a current probe, so I'll just have to hand you the voltage waveforms. Yellow is phase A, green is phase B, blue is phase C.
