Depending on your project you might want to open your wheels and check how it's built, as it can result in less power and more heating.<br>

# Using the firmware with other wheels
The firmware might work with different type of Motor/Wheels.<br>
Phases/hall sensor wires might have to be swapped.<br>
You might have to update the number of [pole pairs parameter](https://github.com/EFeru/bldc-motor-control-FOC#parameters) in the FOC model for accurate RPM/Speed measurement.
Update the number of [pole pairs parameter](https://github.com/EFeru/bldc-motor-control-FOC#parameters) in the FOC model if it's different than 15 for accurate RPM/Speed measurement.
# Wiring from Star to Delta
Hoverboard wheels can be rewired from Star to Delta to trade Torque for Speed, it was successfully tested with this firmware.<br>
