  Warnings:

  • Under no circumstances configure a vibration motor above 7+ BOOST.  Check for overheating on the Mini commander card after installation on a vibration motor.

  • Always test for overheating of the Mini Commander after installation; excessive back EMF or excessive current will cause the Mini Commander to heat up.  

  • DO NOT connect to AC motors with field coils, only use DC can-style motors on the HC1 or 2 output.
