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

Summary

Board Overall Rating Recommendation Main Reason
FAB25Board ✅ Suitable 95% Nearly optimal value
LeonBoard ❌ Unsuitable 0% VREF out of range
Optimal Value ✅ Optimal 100% Theoretical optimal value

FAB25Board is sufficiently usable as-is, but RS change is mandatory for LeonBoard.
