Question: 

What is the difference between IREF & IPEAK?


Answer:


IREF is the reference current to the PID current control loop.


IPEAK is the absolute current limit


The PID control may not always be flawless and may result in overshooting at times. However, the IPEAK comes into action and effectively eliminates the overcurrent. You will be notified of the overcurrent detection by displaying the message "overcurrent detected" in the terminal, and the corresponding flag in /driver/state will be set.
