Re: paper: 2009 Motor Data

The motor curves generated by this spreadsheet aren't correct. Or they're only correct when you have the reference voltage set to 12V, or whatever the reference voltage was on the data sheet. Changing the reference voltage doesn't change the max current, stall torque, max power, or generally anything that it should. The "calculated" motor data the plots are based on doesn't calculate the stall torque from Kt, V, and R, it only looks it up from the motor data table.

I think this spreadsheet should be considered a beta version at this point, as there are more than a few things about it that seem inaccurate.
