ODrive API Reference

class ODrive

Toplevel interface of your ODrive.

The odrv0, odrv1, … objects that appear in odrivetool implement this toplevel interface.

test_function(delta) → int

Parameters:: delta (int) –

get_adc_voltage(gpio) → float

Reads the ADC voltage of the specified GPIO. The GPIO should be in GpioMode.ANALOG_IN.

Parameters:: gpio (int) –

save_configuration() → bool

erase_configuration(): Resets all config variables to their default values and reboots the controller

reboot()

Reboots the controller without saving the current configuration

The request is ignored if the axis is not in IDLE.

enter_dfu_mode(): Enters the Device Firmware Update mode provided by the MCU manufacturer (DFU-over-USB)

enter_dfu_mode2() → bool

Experimental

Enters the ODrive Device Firmware Update mode (DFU-over-CAN).

The bootloader, when first started, will set itself as the primary startup target and write-protect its own flash sectors.

Therefore, after calling this function, older firmware (0.6.4 and older) can no longer be installed / booted on the device. This can be reversed by calling disable_bootloader().

Returns false if the ODrive bootloader is not installed.

disable_bootloader() → bool

Experimental

Disables the bootloader.

This unprotects the flash sectors containing the bootloader and causes the device to start the main firmware (rather than the bootloader) on startup.

The bootloader can be re-activated by calling enter_dfu_mode2().

Calling this function is necessary before downgrading to an older firmware version that was not yet compatible with the bootloader.

get_interrupt_status(irqn) → int

Returns information about the specified interrupt number.

Parameters:: irqn (int) – -12…-1: processor interrupts, 0…239: NVIC interrupts

get_dma_status(stream_num) → int

Returns information about the specified DMA stream.

Parameters:: stream_num (int) – 0…7: DMA1 streams, 8…15: DMA2 streams

get_gpio_states() → int: Returns the logic states of all GPIOs. Bit i represents the state of GPIOi.

set_gpio(num, status) → bool

Experimental

Sets the state of the specified GPIO.

Parameters:

num (int) –

vbus_voltage: [Volt] - Float32Property: Voltage on the DC bus as measured by the ODrive.

ibus: [Amp] - Float32Property

Current on the DC bus as calculated by the ODrive.

A positive value means that the ODrive is consuming power from the power supply, a negative value means that the ODrive is sourcing power to the power supply.

This value is equal to the sum of the motor currents and the brake resistor currents. The motor currents are measured, the brake resistor current is calculated based on config.brake_resistor0.resistance.

ibus_report_filter_k: [1/s] - Float32Property: Filter gain for the reported ibus. Set to a value below 1.0 to get a smoother line when plotting ibus. Set to 1.0 to disable. This filter is only applied to the reported value and not for internal calculations.

The version is represented as (major << 24) | (minor << 16) | (patch << 8). For example 0x01020300 means version 1.2.3.

If the ODrive bootloader is not installed, this returns 0.

task_times: ODrive.TaskTimes

system_stats: ODrive.SystemStats

user_config_loaded: Uint32Property

misconfigured: BoolProperty

If this property is true, something is bad in the configuration. The ODrive can still be used in this state but the user should investigate which setting is problematic. This variable does not cover all misconfigurations.

Possible causes:

A GPIO was set to a mode that it doesn’t support
A GPIO was set to a mode for which the corresponding feature was not enabled. Example: GpioMode.UART_A was used without enabling config.enable_uart_a.
A feature was enabled which is not supported on this hardware. Example: config.enable_uart_c set to true on ODrive v3.x.
A GPIO was used as an interrupt input for two internal components or two GPIOs that are mutually exclusive in their interrupt capability were both used as interrupt input. Example: config.step_gpio_pin of both axes were set to the same GPIO.

enable_uart_a: BoolProperty

Enables/disables UART_A.

You also need to set the corresponding GPIOs to GpioMode.UART_A. Refer to the UART Interface page to see which pins support UART_A. Changing this requires a reboot.

uart_a_baudrate: [baud/s] - Uint32Property

Defines the baudrate used on the UART interface.

Some baudrates will have a small timing error due to hardware limitations.

Here’s an (incomplete) list of baudrates for ODrive v3.x:

Configured	Actual	Error [%]
1.2 KBps	1.2 KBps	0

1.792 MBps	1.826 MBps	1.9
1.8432 MBps	1.826 MBps	0.93

For more information refer to Section 30.3.4 and Table 142 (the column with f_PCLK = 42 MHz) in the STM datasheet.

usb_cdc_protocol: Property[ODrive.StreamProtocolType]: The protocol that’s being run on the device’s virtual COM port on USB. Note that the ODrive has two independent interfaces on USB: One is the virtual COM port (affected by this option) and the other one is a vendor specific interface which always runs Fibre. So changing this option does not affect the working of odrivetool.

uart0_protocol: Property[ODrive.StreamProtocolType]

max_regen_current: [Amp] - Float32Property: The bus current allowed to flow back to the power supply before the brake resistor module will start shunting current.

dc_bus_undervoltage_trip_level: [Volt] - Float32Property

Minimum voltage below which the motor stops operating.

This parameter defaults and is limited to the board’s minimum operating voltage.

More info: Trip Levels

dc_bus_overvoltage_trip_level: [Volt] - Float32Property

Maximum DC bus voltage above which the motor stops operating.

This protects against cases in which the power supply fails to dissipate the brake power if the brake resistor is disabled.

This parameter defaults and is limited to the board’s maximum operating voltage.

On the ODrive S1, this parameter also influences the internal motor current limit, see ODrive S1 Datasheet.

On some revisions of ODrive S1, the board’s maximum operating voltage depends on config.brake_resistor0.enable. Refer to the specifications of your device for details.

More info: Trip Levels

dc_max_positive_current: [Amp] - Float32Property

Max current the power supply can source.

More info: Trip Levels

dc_max_negative_current: [Amp] - Float32Property

Max current the power supply can sink.

This is the amount of current allowed to flow back into the power supply. The convention is that it is negative. By default, it is set to a conservative value of 10mA. If you are using a brake resistor and getting DC_BUS_OVER_REGEN_CURRENT errors, raise it slightly. If you are not using a brake resistor and you intend to send braking current back to the power supply, set this to a safe level for your power source. Note that in that case, it should be higher than your motor current limit + current limit margin.

Set to -INFINITY to disable.

class ODrive.Can

n_rx: Uint32Property

config: ODrive.Can.Config

class ODrive.Endpoint

endpoint: EndpointRefProperty

min: Float32Property

max: Float32Property

class ODrive.Axis

watchdog_feed(): Feed the watchdog to prevent watchdog timeouts.

set_abs_pos(pos) → float

Set the absolute position of the axis.

DEPRECATED: write to pos_estimate instead.

Returns the distance by which the reference was shifted. Add this to the previous position on any off-board controllers to effect an impulse free change of reference.

Parameters:: pos (float) –

active_errors: Property[ODrive.Error]: Indicates the current error condition(s) of the axis. Each error flag clears automatically when the error condition goes away. If an attempt is made to activate the axis while an error is present, the axis immediately disarms and disarm_reason is updated accordingly.

disarm_reason: Property[ODrive.Error]: This value is updated every time the axis disarms and indicates the reason why the axis was disarmed. It can be cleared using clear_errors(). This variable is used for reporting only. It affects the status LED and the ERROR pin output but it does not prevent the axis from getting re-armed upon user request.

step_dir_active: BoolProperty

last_drv_fault: Uint32Property

steps: Int64Property: The current commanded position, in steps, while in step_dir mode

current_state: Property[ODrive.Axis.AxisState]: The current state of the axis

requested_state: Property[ODrive.Axis.AxisState]

The user’s commanded axis state

This is used to command the axis to change state or perform certain routines. Values input here will be “consumed” and queued by the state machine handler. Thus, reading this value back will usually show AxisState.UNDEFINED (0).

pos_estimate: Float32Property

Position estimate of the axis

This estimate is based on the configured load encoder.

All position setpoints are interpreted with respect to this position estimate.

With the default configuration, the origin (the position 0.0) corresponds to the physical startup position. For other options, see Position Reference Frame.

The scale is equal to the load encoder scale, so when the load encoder moves by one turn, this estimate moves by 1.0.

A value of NaN indicates that the encoder is not yet configured, not readable, or, when using an absolute reference frame, that the reference frame has not yet been initialized (e.g. axis is not yet homed).

The position estimate can be shifted by writing to this variable (see Custom User Reference Frame). Writing to this variable will set absolute_setpoints to true and shift input_pos and pos_setpoint accordingly, such that there is no impulse on the physical axis.

vel_estimate: Float32Property

Velocity estimate of the axis

By default, this estimate is based on the configured load encoder.

All velocity setpoints are interpreted with respect to this velocity estimate.

In some cases (for example in a dual-encoder setup where the load encoder sits behind a gearbox with backlash) it is more suitable to use the commutation encoder for velocity estimation. To do this, set use_commutation_vel to True and configure commutation_vel_scale.

is_homed: BoolProperty: Whether or not the axis has been successfully homed.

config: ODrive.Axis.Config

motor: ODrive.Motor

controller: ODrive.Controller

trap_traj: ODrive.TrapezoidalTrajectory

min_endstop: ODrive.SwitchInput

max_endstop: ODrive.SwitchInput

enable_pin: ODrive.SwitchInput

mechanical_brake: ODrive.MechanicalBrake

pos_vel_mapper: ODrive.Mapper

commutation_mapper: ODrive.Mapper

interpolator: ODrive.Interpolator

task_times: ODrive.Axis.TaskTimes

procedure_result: Property[ODrive.ProcedureResult]

disarm_time: Float32Property

is_armed: BoolProperty

observed_encoder_scale_factor: Float32Property

Ratio between the encoder-to-motor scale observed during AxisState.ENCODER_OFFSET_CALIBRATION and the configured encoder-to-motor scale.

This value is updated at the end of AxisState.ENCODER_OFFSET_CALIBRATION if the result is either SUCCESS or POLE_PAIR_CPR_MISMATCH. This can be useful to debug configuration problems.

The value is approximately:

When using an incremental encoder for commutation:

observed_encoder_scale_factor = true_pole_pairs / true_cpr * inc_encoder.config.cpr / config.motor.pole_pairs
When using any other encoder for commutation.

observed_encoder_scale_factor = true_pole_pairs / config.motor.pole_pairs

When correctly configured, the value is close to 1.0.

Therefore:

Assuming config.motor.pole_pairs is incorrectly configured and inc_encoder.config.cpr, if applicable, is correctly configured (equal to true_cpr):

true_pole_pairs ≈ config.motor.pole_pairs * observed_encoder_scale_factor
Assuming inc_encoder.config.cpr is incorrectly configured and config.motor.pole_pairs is correctly configured (equal to true_pole_pairs):

true_cpr ≈ inc_encoder.config.cpr / observed_encoder_scale_factor

The measurement is not exact, so always consult the Motor/Encoder specs before applying the observed result.

class ODrive.AnticoggingConfig

The variables prefixed with calib_ affect only the calibration procedure. Changes to those variables take effect on the next start of AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION (if a calibration is already ongoing, it is not affected by such changes).

Changes to all other variables take effect immediately (regardless of axis state).

set_map(idx, val)

Parameters:

idx (int) –
val (float) –

get_map(idx) → float

Parameters:: idx (int) –

enabled: BoolProperty

Enables/disables the anticogging feedforward term.

If AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION has not been run yet, enabling this has no effect. This variable does not affect AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION. Changes to this variable take effect immediately.

max_torque: [A] - Float32Property

Maximum torque action that anticogging is allowed to exert.

This limit is honored during both AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION and normal operation. Changes to this variable take effect immediately, however if this value was too low during calibration, then the calibration must be repeated.

calib_start_vel: [rev/s] - Float32Property

Start velocity of AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION.

Lower values usually yield better calibration accuracy, however the value must be high enough that the motor doesn’t ever come to a stop, even momentarily. This is to avoid any static friction. Furthermore if this value is too high you may get a CONTROL_DEADLINE_MISSED error.

calib_end_vel: [rev/s] - Float32Property

End velocity of AxisState.ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION.

Lower values usually yield better calibration accuracy, however the value must be high enough that the motor doesn’t ever come to a stop, even momentarily. This is to avoid any static friction.

calib_coarse_tuning_duration: [s] - Float32Property: Duration of the coarse tuning (ramp down) phase.

calib_fine_tuning_duration: [s] - Float32Property: Duration of the fine tuning phase.

calib_fine_dist_scale: Float32Property

calib_coarse_integrator_gain: [(Nm/s)/(rev/s)] - Float32Property: Integrator gain at the start of anticogging calibration.

calib_bidirectional: BoolProperty

Whether to run the calibration in both directions

When true (default), the calibration runs in both directions. When false, the calibration only runs in the direction specified by the sign of calib_start_vel and calib_end_vel. When the motor is known to move in a single direction only during operation, running the calibration in that direction only can yield better results.

class ODrive.BrakeResistor

current_meas: Float32Property

current_meas_status: Uint32Property

duty: Float32Property

additional_duty: Float32Property

Experimental

Additional duty cycle to add, on top of the value that is based on motor current and DC voltage.

current: [Amp] - Float32Property

Calculated current dumped into the brake resistor.

This value is not measured but calculated based the configured brake resistance. It is therefore only reliable if the actual brake resistance matches the configured brake resistance.

In the future this might take into account feedback from current_meas.

chopper_temp: Float32Property: Estimate of the brake resistor chopper temperature.

is_armed: BoolProperty

was_saturated: BoolProperty: Indicates if the brake resistor reached saturation. This flag is latching and needs to be reset by the client before it can indicate another saturation event.

class ODrive.BrakeResistorConfig

enable: BoolProperty

Enable/disable the use of a brake resistor.

Setting this to False even though a brake resistor is connected is harmless. Setting this to True even though no brake resistor is connected can break the power supply. Changes to this value require a reboot to take effect.

Setting this to true reduces the maximum value for config.dc_bus_overvoltage_trip_level on some revisions of ODrive S1. Refer to the specifications of your device for details.

resistance: [Ohm] - Float32Property

Value of the brake resistor connected to the ODrive.

Note that there may be some extra resistance in your wiring and in the screw terminals, so if you are getting issues while braking you may want to increase this parameter by around 0.05 ohm.

If you set this to a lower value than the true brake resistance then the ODrive will not meed the max_regen_current constraint during braking, that is it will sink more than max_regen_current into the power supply. Some power supplies don’t like this. If you set this to a higher value than the true brake resistance then the ODrive will unnecessarily burn more power than required during braking.

enable_dc_bus_voltage_feedback: BoolProperty

Enables the DC bus voltage feedback brake resistor feature.

If enabled, if the measured DC voltage exceeds dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_start, the ODrive will sink additional power into the the brake resistor to bring or hold the voltage down.

The brake duty cycle is increased by the following amount:

ODrive.vbus_voltage == dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_start, => brake_duty_cycle += 0%
ODrive.vbus_voltage == dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_end, => brake_duty_cycle += 100%

Remarks:

This feature is active even when all motors are disarmed.
This feature is disabled if resistance is not a positive value.

dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_start: Float32Property

See enable_dc_bus_voltage_feedback.

Do not set this lower than your usual ODrive.vbus_voltage,

dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_end: Float32Property

See enable_dc_bus_voltage_feedback.

Must be larger than dc_bus_voltage_feedback_ramp_start, otherwise the ramp feature is disabled.

dc_calib: ODrive.Motor.DcCalib

Inverter DC calibration diagnostics

This is for diagnostics only and not for end user use.

class ODrive.Mapper

set_abs_pos(pos) → float

Sets the absolute position of the Mapper.

This is a low level function for testing purposes. The controller setpoints are not shifted accordingly. To safely override the position estimate of the the axis, write to pos_estimate instead.

Parameters:: pos (float) –

status: Property[ODrive.ComponentStatus]

pos_rel: Float32Property: Relative position since startup in turns. On the commutation_mapper this wraps around such that it’s always in [0, 1). On the pos_vel_mapper this wraps around if and only if <axis>.controller.config.circular_setpoints is set.

config: ODrive.Mapper.Config

class ODrive.OnboardEncoder

get_field_strength() → float

The measurement is a very rough estimate, discretized into 9 values:

<26mT (indicated as 0), 30mT, 45mT, 60mT, 74mT, 88mT, 102mT, 116mT, >120mT (indicated as inf)

Position readings on this encoder will be stopped for roughly 100ms when this function is called.

This is intended for development / end-of-line testing / diagnostics only. The function uses five NVM write cycles on the encoder, which is rated for only 1000 write cycles. Therefore this should not be used during regular operation.

Gives a rough estimate on the magnetic field strength at the encoder in Tesla.

class ODrive.Error

INITIALIZING = 1 (0x1): The system is initializing or reconfiguring.

SYSTEM_LEVEL = 2 (0x2): Unexpected system error such as memory corruption, stack overflow, frozen thread, assert fail etc. This error is indicates firmware bug.

TIMING_ERROR = 4 (0x4): An internal hard timing requirement was violated. This usually means that the device is computationally overloaded, either due to a specific user configuration or due to a firmware bug. This error should not occur during normal operation and can be considered similar to SYSTEM_ERROR.

MISSING_ESTIMATE = 8 (0x8)

The position estimate, velocity estimate or phase estimate was needed but invalid. This can mean:

The encoder has not been calibrated. Consult the documentation to see how to calibrate various encoder types.

Absolute position control was used before the axis was homed.

One of the active encoders is misbehaving or disconnected. Check the error information of all enabled encoders to see if this is the case.

BAD_CONFIG = 16 (0x10)

The ODrive configuration is invalid or incomplete. If you configured the ODrive through the GUI, this indicates a bug in the GUI.

Please verify the following:

axis.config.motor.direction is -1 or +1

axis.config.torque_soft_min <= axis.config.torque_soft_max

config.enable_brake_resistor = False or config.brake_resistor0.resistance > 0

axis.config.motor.phase_resistance and axis.config.motor.phase_inductance are valid, axis.config.motor.phase_resistance_valid = True and, axis.config.motor.phase_inductance_valid = True

DRV_FAULT = 32 (0x20)

The gate driver chip reported an error.

If this keeps occurring during normal operation within the device’s specified operating conditions this can indicate hardware damage.

MISSING_INPUT = 64 (0x40)

No value was provided for input_pos, input_vel or input_torque.

This typically happens when using RC PWM as input and entering AxisState.CLOSED_LOOP_CONTROL before any pulse was registered. Make sure the PWM input is configured and connected correctly.

DC_BUS_OVER_VOLTAGE = 256 (0x100)

The DC voltage exceeded the limit configured in config.dc_bus_overvoltage_trip_level.

Confirm that you have a brake resistor of the correct value connected securely and that config.brake_resistor0.resistance is set to the value of your brake resistor.

You can monitor your PSU voltage using liveplotter in odrivetool by entering start_liveplotter(lambda: [odrv0.vbus_voltage]). If during a move you see the voltage rise above your PSU’s nominal set voltage then you have your brake resistance set too low. This may happen if you are using long wires or small gauge wires to connect your brake resistor to your odrive which will added extra resistance. This extra resistance needs to be accounted for to prevent this voltage spike. If you have checked all your connections you can also try increasing your brake resistance by ~ 0.01 ohm at a time to a maximum of 0.05 greater than your brake resistor value.

DC_BUS_UNDER_VOLTAGE = 512 (0x200)

The DC voltage fell below the limit configured in config.dc_bus_undervoltage_trip_level.

Confirm that your power leads are connected securely. For initial testing a 12V PSU which can supply a couple of amps should be sufficient while the use of low current ‘wall wart’ plug packs may lead to inconsistent behaviour and is not recommended.

You can monitor your PSU voltage using liveplotter in odrivetool by entering start_liveplotter(lambda: [odrv0.vbus_voltage]). If you see your votlage drop below config.dc_bus_undervoltage_trip_level (default: ~ 8V) then you will trip this error. Even a relatively small motor can draw multiple kW momentary and so unless you have a very large PSU or are running of a battery you may encounter this error when executing high speed movements with a high current limit. To limit your PSU power draw you can limit your motor current and/or velocity limit <axis>.controller.config.vel_limit and <axis>.config.motor.current_soft_max.

DC_BUS_OVER_CURRENT = 1024 (0x400)

Too much DC current was pulled, either at the motor level or at the board level (these two are identical for boards that don’t support a brake resistor).

At the motor level: <axis>.motor.alpha_beta_frame_controller.I_bus exceeded <axis>.config.I_bus_hard_max

At the board level: <odrv>.ibus exceeded config.dc_max_positive_current.

DC_BUS_OVER_REGEN_CURRENT = 2048 (0x800)

Too much DC current was regenerated, either at the motor level or at the board level (these two are identical for boards that don’t support a brake resistor).

At the motor level: <axis>.motor.alpha_beta_frame_controller.I_bus exceeded (was more negative than) <axis>.config.I_bus_hard_min

At the board level: <odrv>.ibus exceeded (was more negative than) config.dc_max_negative_current.

This can happen if your brake resistor is unable to handle the braking current. Check that (V_power_supply / brake_resistance) > <axis>.config.motor.current_hard_max.

CURRENT_LIMIT_VIOLATION = 4096 (0x1000)

The motor current exceeded <axis>.config.motor.current_hard_max. or config.inverterN.current_hard_max.

The current controller tries not to exceed <axis>.config.motor.current_soft_max, however a bit of overshoot is normal. Therefore, if you get this error, try to increase the margin between the soft and hard current limits.

If you have to increase the margin to more than 40% then something else might be wrong, for instance the motor could be damaged or the current controller might be unstable.

The current controller is a PI controller and its PI gains are automatically calculated based on config.motor.current_control_bandwidth and the motor resistance and inductance (pole placement). If you suspect an unstable current controller, make sure to review these variables.

MOTOR_OVER_TEMP = 8192 (0x2000): The motor thermistor measured a temperature above motor.motor_thermistor.config.temp_limit_upper

INVERTER_OVER_TEMP = 16384 (0x4000): The inverter thermistor measured a temperature above motor.fet_thermistor.config.temp_limit_upper

VELOCITY_LIMIT_VIOLATION = 32768 (0x8000): The estimated velocity exceeds vel_limit_tolerance * vel_limit

POSITION_LIMIT_VIOLATION = 65536 (0x10000)

WATCHDOG_TIMER_EXPIRED = 16777216 (0x1000000)

The axis watchdog timer expired.

An amount of time greater than config.watchdog_timeout passed without the watchdog being fed.

ESTOP_REQUESTED = 33554432 (0x2000000)

An estop was requested from an external source. This can mean:

The estop message was received on CAN
An endstop was pressed

SPINOUT_DETECTED = 67108864 (0x4000000): A discrepancy between electrical power and mechanical power has been detected, indicating a spinout situation. See Spinout Detection for details.

BRAKE_RESISTOR_DISARMED = 134217728 (0x8000000): Another component (axis or brake resistor) on the ODrive failed. Most commonly this error indicates that the brake resistor was disarmed (e.g. during an undervoltage condition) and can be rectified by fixing the root cause (e.g. undervoltage condition) and then clearing errors.

THERMISTOR_DISCONNECTED = 268435456 (0x10000000): The motor thermistor is enabled but disconnected. This is determined by the analog voltage lying too close to 0V or 3.3V.

CALIBRATION_ERROR = 1073741824 (0x40000000): A calibration procedure failed. See procedure_result for details.

class ODrive.ProcedureResult

SUCCESS = 0 (0x0): The procedure finished without any faults.

BUSY = 1 (0x1): The procedure has not yet finished.

CANCELLED = 2 (0x2): The last procedure was cancelled by the user.

DISARMED = 3 (0x3): A fault was encountered and the axis has been disarmed. See disarm_reason for more info.

NO_RESPONSE = 4 (0x4)

The procedure component did not respond as expected

Most likely due to an improperly connected/configured encoder.

Verify the encoder configuration matches the hardware
Check that the encoder is powered and all signals are connected correctly

POLE_PAIR_CPR_MISMATCH = 5 (0x5)

The values of config.motor.pole_pairs and/or inc_encoder0.config.cpr do not corroborate the measured rotations. Please verify these settings match the hardware.

For details, see observed_encoder_scale_factor.

Note

If not using an incremental encoder the cpr value is not used and can be ignored

PHASE_RESISTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE = 6 (0x6)

The measured motor phase resistance is outside of the plausible range or bad calibration parameters were used.

During calibration the motor resistance and inductance is measured. If the measured motor resistance or inductance falls outside a predefined range, either PHASE_RESISTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE or PHASE_INDUCTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE will be returned. Check that all motor leads are connected securely.

These errors can also indicate that resistance_calib_max_voltage is outside of the feasible range (see below).

The measured values can be viewed using odrivetool as is shown below:

In [2]: odrv0.axis0.config.motor.phase_inductance
Out[2]: 1.408751450071577e-05
In [3]: odrv0.axis0.config.motor.phase_resistance
Out[3]: 0.029788672924041748

Some motors will have a considerably different phase resistance and inductance than this. For example, gimbal motors, some small motors (e.g. < 10A peak current). If you think this applies to you try increasing config.motor.resistance_calib_max_voltage from its default value of 1 and repeat the motor calibration process. Increasing this value beyond the feasible range (around half of DC voltage) has no effect. Therefore, if you maxed out config.motor.resistance_calib_max_voltage and still get calibration errors, try reducing config.motor.calibration_current.

If your motor has a small peak current rating (e.g. < 20A) you should also decrease config.motor.calibration_current from its default value of 10A.

In general, you need:

config.motor.resistance_calib_max_voltage > calibration_current * phase_resistance
config.motor.resistance_calib_max_voltage < 0.5 * vbus_voltage

PHASE_INDUCTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE = 7 (0x7)

The measured motor phase inductance is outside of the plausible range or bad calibration parameters were used.

See PHASE_RESISTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE for details.

UNBALANCED_PHASES = 8 (0x8): The motor phase resistances are not balanced. Please check your connections.

INVALID_MOTOR_TYPE = 9 (0x9): The value of ...config.motor.motor_type is not defined in the MotorType enum.

ILLEGAL_HALL_STATE = 10 (0xA): During hall encoder calibration the ODrive detected too many bad hall states. Make sure your encoder is wired correctly and produces a clean signal.

TIMEOUT = 11 (0xB)

HOMING_WITHOUT_ENDSTOP = 12 (0xC): Homing was requested without enabling the endstop. Make sure <axis>.min_endstop.config.enabled <ODrive.Endstop.Config>enabled is True.

INVALID_STATE = 13 (0xD): The requested state must be a valid AxisState.

NOT_CALIBRATED = 14 (0xE)

The requested state could not be entered because the axis is not calibrated.

The required calibrations depend on the axis configuration, the requested state and the requested control mode.

The most common cause for this error is requesting AxisState.CLOSED_LOOP_CONTROL before first running AxisState.MOTOR_CALIBRATION and AxisState.ENCODER_OFFSET_CALIBRATION.

NOT_CONVERGING = 15 (0xF)

The calibration did not converge.

The measurements made during a calibration task did not reach sufficient statistical significance.

For instance during AxisState.ENCODER_OFFSET_CALIBRATION the encoder did not move sufficiently to determine the direction between encoder and motor.

Try changing the calibration parameters.

Changes take effect immediately.

I_bus_hard_min: [Amp] - Float32Property: If the controller fails to keep this motor’s DC current (axis.motor.alpha_beta_frame_controller.I_bus) above this value the motor gets disarmed immediately. Most likely you want a negative value here. Set to -inf to disable. Take noise into account when choosing a value.

I_bus_hard_max: [Amp] - Float32Property: If the controller fails to keep this motor’s DC current (axis.motor.alpha_beta_frame_controller.I_bus) below this value the motor gets disarmed immediately. Usually this is set in conjunction with I_bus_hard_min. Set to inf to disable. Take noise into account when choosing a value.

I_bus_soft_min: [Amp] - Float32Property

Negative limit of the DC current allowed to regenerate into the power supply

This limit is relevant while braking (as opposed to motoring). When this limit is reached, the ODrive reduces the torque with which it is braking to stay within the DC current limit.

Note: DC current is different from the motor current.

Must be negative. Set to -INFINITY to disable this limit. Changes take effect immediately.

I_bus_soft_max: [Amp] - Float32Property

MOTOR_CALIBRATION = 4 (0x4)

Measure phase resistance and phase inductance of the motor.

To store the results save the configuration (save_configuration()). After that you don’t have to run the motor calibration on the next start up.
This modifies the variables config.motor.phase_resistance and config.motor.phase_inductance.

ENCODER_HALL_POLARITY_CALIBRATION = 12 (0xC)

ENCODER_HALL_PHASE_CALIBRATION = 13 (0xD)

Rotate the motor for 30s to calibrate hall sensor edge offsets

The phase offset is not calibrated at this time, so the map is only relative

ANTICOGGING_CALIBRATION = 14 (0xE)

Calibrate the anticogging algorithm.

This spins the motor for a duration of calib_coarse_tuning_duration + calib_fine_tuning_duration + 1 seconds to learn the cogging map of the motor.

The previous cogging map is cleared as soon as a new anticogging calibration is started. If the calibration is cancelled or fails, the cogging map is left in a half-calibrated state.

To keep the cogging map across reboots, the configuration must be saved.

pole_pairs: Uint32Property

Number of magnet pole pairs in the motor’s rotor.

This is the number of magnet poles in the rotor, divided by two. This is not the same as the number of coils in the stator.

To find this, you can simply count the number of permanent magnets in the rotor, if you can see them.

Otherwise a good way to find the number of pole pairs is with a current limited power supply. Connect any two of the three phases to a power supply outputting around 2A, spin the motor by hand, and count the number of detents. This will be the number of pole pairs. If you can’t distinguish the detents from the normal cogging present when the motor is disconnected, increase the current.

Another way is sliding a loose magnet in your hand around the rotor, and counting how many times it stops. This will be the number of pole pairs. If you use a ferrous piece of metal instead of a magnet, you will get the number of magnet poles.

phase_resistance: [Ohm] - Float32Property

phase_inductance: [Henry] - Float32Property

phase_resistance_valid: BoolProperty: Indicates whether phase resistance is valid. This flag is automatically set to true after successful motor calibration. It can also be set manually if phase_resistance is set manually. The motor will not spin unless this is true.

phase_inductance_valid: BoolProperty: Indicates whether phase_resistance and phase_inductance are valid. This flag is automatically set to true after successful motor calibration. It can also be set manually if phase_inductance is set manually. The motor will not spin unless this is true.

torque_constant: [Nm / A] - Float32Property

Torque constant of the motor.

This is the ratio of torque produced by the motor per Amp of current delivered to the motor. This should be set to 8.27 / (motor KV).

If you decide that you would rather command torque in units of Amps, you could simply set the torque constant to 1.

if you are using position or velocity control and tuning the gains manually, then a ballpark value is sufficient, as error can be absorbed into the gain.

direction: Float32Property: Direction of the motor (+1 or -1) with respect to the axis position space. This affects the spin direction of calibration procedures.

current_control_bandwidth: [1/s] - Float32Property: Sets the PI gains of the Q and D axis FOC control according to phase_resistance and phase_inductance to create a critically-damped controller with a -3dB bandwidth at this frequency.

ff_pm_flux_linkage: Float32Property

Flux linkage of the motor, used by the motor model.

Commonly called “lambda” in literature.

By default the back-EMF feedforward term assumes a flux linkage of: flux_linkage = 2/3 * torque_constant / pole_pairs which is equivalent to flux_linkage = 5.51328895422 / (pole_pairs * motor_kv)

This default can be overriden by specifying this parametter and setting (ff_pm_flux_linkage_valid = True).

ff_pm_flux_linkage_valid: BoolProperty

motor_model_l_d: [Henry] - Float32Property

d-axis phase inductance of the motor, used by the motor model

If specified (motor_model_l_dq_valid = True), overrides the d-axis phase inductance used by the motor model (feedforward and field weakening). This does not affect the current controller gains. If left empty (motor_model_l_dq_valid = False) phase_inductance is used instead.

motor_model_l_q: [Henry] - Float32Property

q-axis phase inductance of the motor, used by the motor model

If specified (motor_model_l_dq_valid = True), overrides the q-axis phase inductance used by the motor model (feedforward and field weakening). This does not affect the current controller gains. If left empty (motor_model_l_dq_valid = False) phase_inductance is used instead.

calibration_current: Float32Property: The current used to measure resistance during AxisState.MOTOR_CALIBRATION.

current_hard_max: [Amp] - Float32Property: Maximum measured current allowed. Any measurement above current_hard_max will throw a CURRENT_LIMIT_VIOLATION error. Changing this variable can lead to reconfiguration of low level hardware at the next opportunity (when the axis is in IDLE). This will incur a 0.7s delay until the axis can be activated again. There is a separate limit current_hard_max that pertains to the ODrive’s power stage.

sensorless_pm_flux_linkage: Float32Property

Flux linkage of the motor, used by the sensorless estimator.

By default the sensorless estimator derives the motor flux linkage as: flux_linkage = 2/3 * torque_constant / pole_pairs which is equivalent to flux_linkage = 5.51328895422 / (pole_pairs * motor_kv)

This default can be overriden by specifying this parameter and setting (sensorless_pm_flux_linkage_valid = True).

sensorless_pm_flux_linkage_valid: BoolProperty

power_torque_report_filter_bandwidth: Float32Property

offset: Float32Property

approx_init_pos_valid: BoolProperty

Forces pos_abs to initialize to approx_init_pos +- scale/2 on every startup.

By setting this to true, the user promises that the axis will always start up within +-0.5 encoder turns of approx_init_pos, in terms of the user’s reference frame. This can be used on axes that have a mechanically limited range of less than 360° or in other situations where the user can guarantee bounds on the startup position.

If absolute linear setpoints are used with an absolute encoder, this allows the axis to disambiguate its turn count on startup and thereby eliminates the need for homing.

Note that the +-0.5 turns tolerance refers to input space (encoder space), not user space.

approx_init_pos: Float32Property: The guaranteed approximate startup position (in the user reference frame). See approx_init_pos_valid for details.

index_offset_valid: BoolProperty

index_offset: Float32Property

use_index_gpio: BoolProperty

passive_index_search: BoolProperty

Listen for index pulses even when not explicitly running index search and even when the motor is disarmed. In case the index pulse is fairly wide (low resolution encoders or hall effect sensors), care must be taken as to which direction the motor is spun to register the index. Once the index is found (either by manually moving the motor or by running ENCODER_INDEX_SEARCH), the search is disabled.

Requires a reboot to take effect.

max_error_rate: Float32Property

Maximum packet error rate

Increasing this value allows the motor to continue operating even if some SPI responses are corrupted (e.g. bad parity bit). However it also leads to slower reaction in case the encoder is disconnected.

baudrate: [Hz] - Uint32Property

Experimental

Maximum SCLK frequency

The actual selected baudrate will usually be lower than this and depend on the nearest clock prescaler setting.

It is recommended to leave this value at its default.

Setting this value too low can lead to missed control deadline errors because the transfer takes too long. Setting this value too high can lead to bad signal integrity, especially on long wires with high capacitance.

Changes take effect immediately. The position setpoint is shifted when changing this value, to avoid unexpected axis motion.

use_commutation_vel: BoolProperty

Experimental

When using two separate encoders for position control and commutation, this selects which of the two encoders is used for velocity control. If false, the position encoder is used, else the commutation encoder is used. commutation_vel_scale must be set accordingly.
