Hi all, BLDC FOC motor in a project car.  I have current w/reverse button as ADC 1.  While traveling forward, is switching to reverse and giving slight throttle okay to slow?  Is it effectively the same as braking?

Hello, I would think so, but why not use regen break so no extra heat is put into the motor?
