The encoder came today! ya! That goes over the motor shaft (motor not here yet).

It has 512
pulses per revolution. That's used to know basically the rotor position. You need rotor position
and the measurement of the current on 2 of the 3 phases to make field oriented control work.

***I heard that industrial motors don't work very well in EVs because they are often being
driven with a more simplistic V/Hz = constant approach by modified inverters that were for
industrial purposes. With field oriented control, the motor has considerably less heat loss, and
a greater amount of the DC voltage makes it to the motor, and has the same torque control as
what you can have with a brushed DC motor, but with the added bonus of regenerative
braking.
