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.
4. The rotor first aligns itself, then ramps current smoothly, and finally engages the torque control
loop. The motor should now be spinning!
5. 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.
