I was writing back and forth to a guy on youtube. I think I know what's been wrong with the toyota MGR motor code! It's a true synchronous reluctance motor, which has a different method of control for its best torque per amp (according to that guy who seems very authoritative haha). You evidently do:
Id = currentMagnitude/sqrt(2)
Iq = currentMagnitude/sqrt(2) * sign().

That would explain the behavior I was seeing. Oh mama I hope it works. hahaha. No wammy no wammy, STOP! I still don't know how to hook up the friggen thing, but it's only like 48 possible combinations, so I'll figure it out.
