Rotor position intermittent missing

[SRedd.5]

I have generated the code with workbench 6.1.2 planning to migrate to 6.2.0 but meanwhile i am finding one issue consistently. I am using digital hall sensors and i am constantly getting a gap as below in the rotor angle after every some duration. Is it normal this is the cube monitor logging?

I have captured the phase current and i find a small glitch which happens consistently.

If it is related to the rotor position. Please help to solve this issue.

Dear Redd.5,

If the motor spins correctly, it means that the rotor position is correctly handled internally (otherwise, a speed feedback error could be trigged). Maybe some data are missing with Cube Monitor interface...
Is-it possible for you to try with the "ST Motor Pilot"?

My board is a custom board so i think i cannot connect the ST motor pilot. When i plot with DAC i do not see such gap.

Hello @SRedd.5,

You should be able to connect the ST motor pilot if you have a way to connect an UART of the STM32 to your USB PC socket. One way is through the STLink virtual com port at the condition that UART RX & TX pins are accessible.

Regarding the fact that with DAC you do not see such gap, it confirms @GMA hypothesis.  You lose data with Cube Monitor. It is a monitoring issue not a Motor control firmware issue.

But i am worried that i need to integrate the complete UART code of motor pilot , iam already using CAN. I do have access to UART pins.
