How to use​

  • The top menu allows selecting which discovered device to bind to. You need to select a device first. The menu also shows a shortcut to the emGUI, and you may select between dark and light themes.

  • In the middle part, there are 10 preset command sliders, each of which can be controlled independently. Also, you can select the control mode for each. To send the desired command, just click on run.

  • Commands in the right section, there are these buttons:

    • Stop - puts the motor into the freewheeling mode.
    • Run - starts the motor with defined command and mode.
    • Release/reinit - releases the override and gives control back to the on-board application. If the driver is in an error state, it will attempt to re-initialize.
    • Follow changes - if checked, with each change of yours, the motor will react immediately.
