Abstract
A method for aligning a motor to a goal alignment position, comprising beginning an alignment sequence, receiving a phase current of the motor, sampling the received phase current, and comparing a sample of the received phase current to a previous sample of the received phase current. The method further comprises tracking a maximum value of the phase current in response to comparing the sample of the received phase current to the previous sample of the received phase current, comparing the maximum value of the received phase current to the sample of the received phase current, detecting a decrease in the received phase current in response to comparing the maximum value to the sample; and ending the alignment sequence in response to detecting the decrease.
