Abstract

A motor controller for controlling an electric motor includes a motion control microcontroller unit (MCU) for storing initial control parameters for the electric motor, and a wireless receiver communicatively coupled to the motion control MCU. The wireless receiver is configured to activate in response to initiation of a wireless connection with a remote device, receive a wireless control signal from the remote device, the wireless control signal including updated control parameters, and transmit the updated control parameters to the motion control MCU. The motor controller also includes an energy management system configured to power the wireless receiver and the motion control MCU.
