Claim 5:
6. A method for controlling a motor, the method comprising:
determining an estimated angular velocity of the motor based on a measured current of the motor;
determining an estimated angular position of the motor based on the measured current of the motor;
determining a calculated target current based on a difference between the estimated angular velocity and a target angular velocity of the motor;
determining whether the target angular velocity of the motor is greater than a threshold angular velocity or less than the threshold angular velocity;
generating a motor drive signal based on the estimated angular position and the calculated target current while the target angular velocity is greater than the threshold angular velocity; and
generating the motor drive signal based on a forced angular position and a forced target current while the target angular velocity is less than the threshold angular velocity.
