Gate drive resistors
from measurements, it has become clear that the gate drive resistors are too large.
here is the gate drive signal before the resistor

here is the gate drive signal after the 1K gate drive resistor

I decided that after seeing several reference designs (see binder with "gate drive app notes" that I should try a 3r3 resistor
here is the gate drive signal after the 3.3R resistor

I will go with that for each of the resistors. The only problem for having a lower resitsor value is apparently if there is too much ringing. I cannot see that.
these shapes are great, unfortunately the motor does not turn when these gate drive resistors are used. The motor seems to prefer it when the gate drive signal is a crappy shape.
