First setup

From a mounted and wired driver to a calibrated, tuned motor. Motor GUI in the browser is the usual tool for it; every step also gives the terminal command, for a terminal or for the console in Motor GUI.

1. Motor GUI: the browser, the serial adapter, opening the port, what is on the screen.
2. The serial terminal: the alternative — PuTTY, the PlatformIO monitor or the Arduino monitor, and the # commands.
3. Calibration: the factory defaults, then the run that measures the motor and finds its pole pairs, phase order and constants.
4. Current limit and loop tuning: the current limit for the motor, and the loop gains if the defaults do not suit it.
5. Saving the configuration: nothing survives a power cycle until it is saved.

A driver that has been through these pages is ready for Operation. The Quick start is the same path on one page.
