Motor parameters constantly changing.

Hi all, 

I'm wondering what is a normal amount for motor parameters (particularly coil resistance) to change on each detection. If I repeatedly click the detect parameter button on the FOC page, the coil resistance may change from 85 to 87 mOhms, which I'm guessing is normal, however occasionally it may jump up to say 95, or even as high as 120. I'm pretty sure it isn't a temperature thing, because it isn't like it happens right after I've been running the motor a lot. Might I have a hardware problem with my Vesc or motor, or is this just normal? 

Appreciate any help! 

Ali.

To add to this, if I run FOC RL detection, I will get 3 values for R L and Ld-Lq, but if I run measure_res or measure_ind on the terminal I will get different values, is this because of the current/duty cycles I am testing at? Does it matter? What values would be best to go into the FOC parameters? 

 

Thanks, 

Ali.
