Hello everybody, I am looking for some option to change the phase between two pwm signals of the same frequency generated by pwmgen, like this:    ||||___|||| The pwm frequency is 1Hz. Is there an easy option to achieve this?Pwmgen doesn't support this option. I checked the

Hmm, are these angles used by Axis to display the correct geometry for the tool tip in the backplot? If so, that doesn’t seem to be working (at least in 2.7.0~pre6). I have the Orientation and the Front/Back Angles set (angles, perhaps incorrectly) but Axis shows the tool pointing up from

Hi, A unipolar motor nameplate rating will be for half coil. If you use both coils of the phase (wired in series, with the center tap insulated), then you want to run at about half the rated current (since you have twice the number of wire turns). This will give lower speed performance due
