Mode 0 Analog Open Loop Mode: In this mode the speed of the Rhino BLDC motor can be controlled by using Potentiometer which is available at the corner side of drive. User can increase or decrease the speed manually based on requirement by using Potentiometer.
Troubleshooting If motor is not moving in digital closed loop mode read value in frequency register. If motor is not moving in digital open loop mode read value in PWM register. If motor is not running in analog mode check external potentiometer connections and check enable connection as it must be connected with 5V.
