Root Cause

Motor driver detected overcurrent or fault condition.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 88% success Implement proper fault handling: stop PWM, wait, check conditions
  2. 85% success Add current sensing and software overcurrent protection

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Ignore fault pin and continue driving 92% fail

    Hardware damage risk

  2. Immediately reverse motor direction 85% fail

    Causes worse current spike
