Abstract: Apparatus and method for motor braking using selectively connectable resistance. The method includes controlling, using a motor controller of the power tool, a power switching network to drive a motor of the power tool in response to actuation of a user input and determining, using the motor controller, a variable tool characteristic. The method further includes determining, using the motor controller, that the user input is de-actuated. The method also includes controlling, using the motor controller, the power switching network to brake the motor when the variable tool characteristic satisfies the tool characteristic threshold and controlling, using the motor controller, a braking circuit to brake the motor when the variable tool characteristic does not satisfy the tool characteristic threshold. The braking circuit includes one or more resistive loads and is selectively coupled to the motor terminals of the motor.

Abstract: One embodiment provides an adapter for configuring device settings of a gas engine replacement device. The adapter includes a transceiver, a user interface, and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to connect the adapter to the gas engine replacement device and generate a graphical user interface showing a plurality of configurable device settings. The electronic processor is also configured to receive user input to choose one or more device settings to configure and receive user input to configure the one or more device setting chosen and generate changed device settings. The electronic processor is also configured to transmit the changed device settings to the gas engine replacement device. The gas engine replacement device is then used to drive power equipment in accordance with the changed device settings.

Abstract: A method for automatic control switching for driving a sensorless motor of a power tool, the method including generating, using a signal generator, a high-frequency injection signal. The method includes coupling, using a coupling circuit, the high-frequency injection signal to an injection coil of the sensorless motor. The method includes decoupling, using a de-coupling circuit, a response to the high-frequency injection signal from a phase coil of the sensorless motor. The method includes determine a sensorless motor condition based upon the response of the injection coil to the high-frequency injection signal. The method includes driving, using a controller of the power tool, the sensorless motor based upon the sensorless motor condition.
