FOC Implementation Example

typedef struct {
    float i_alpha, i_beta;    // Clarke transform output
    float i_d, i_q;           // Park transform output
    float v_d, v_q;           // Voltage commands
    float v_alpha, v_beta;    // Inverse Park output
    float theta;              // Rotor angle
    float speed;              // Rotor speed
} foc_state_t;

void foc_current_loop(foc_state_t* state, float i_a, float i_b, float i_c) {
    // Clarke transform
    clarke_transform(i_a, i_b, i_c, &state->i_alpha, &state->i_beta);

    // Park transform
    park_transform(state->i_alpha, state->i_beta, state->theta,
                   &state->i_d, &state->i_q);

    // PI controllers
    state->v_d = pi_controller(&pid_d, state->i_d_ref - state->i_d);
    state->v_q = pi_controller(&pid_q, state->i_q_ref - state->i_q);

    // Inverse Park
    inv_park_transform(state->v_d, state->v_q, state->theta,
                       &state->v_alpha, &state->v_beta);
