Ya, if only there was a way to make it so β€˜users’ didn’t have to enter the decimal value for 8 bits(11111111 = 255) but instead could enter a percentage like 100. Especially when the software is already quite clunky. πŸ˜‰ More resolution with 0-255 as opposed to 0-100 I presume. [https://www.google.com/search?q=maximum+decimal+value+for+8+bits](https://www.google.com/search?q=maximum+decimal+value+for+8+bits) Users of this software probably don’t really mentally map the numbers to anything tangible anyways but it’s likely there’s a little 8 bit MCU inside these Controllers so everything is in the range of 0-255. I also had forgotten that I too put together a spreadsheet of settings but was asked not to publish it to prevent Joe Sixpack from blowing up his GEM. ---

Post the minimum recommended field current. Not dangerous and the only setting to make motor overheat. I think. Can brushes cause heat? I think not. Fire yes, but not heat. πŸ™‚ Did anyone look at the settings linked to above? ---

I am sorry. Yes, that was a typo. It was 255 indeed. ---
