Recommendations
When Using LeonBoard
- Immediate RS change to 0.1Ω required
- Current settings cannot control 1.5A motor
When Using FAB25Board
- Sufficient operation with current settings
- Difference from optimal value is minimal and practically no problem
For New Design
- Optimal values (RS: 0.1Ω, R: 150Ω) recommended
- More stable operation expected
