Spinning the Motor

This Main Panel view presents a simplified interface for quick demonstrations. An 'expert mode' can also

be selected to control and monitor the more detailed aspects of the design. A few of those features will

be highlighted later in this document.

1. Ensure that the Mode radio button is set to Torque.

2. Click the Motor Run toggle switch to enable the motor.

3. Rotate the TRQ (torque) dial to select a current of ~0.8A. There is a direct relationship between

torque and current, so requesting a current set point means we are setting a torque value as well.

The rotor first aligns itself, then ramps current smoothly, and finally engages the torque control

loop. The motor should now be spinning!

To run in Speed Mode, toggle the Motor Run switch to OFF and select Mode radio button for

Speed.

6. Click the Motor Run toggle switch to enable the motor.
