+Note: In order to ber compatible with encoder inputs, the ODrive doesn't have any filtering capacitors on the pins where the hall sensors connect. Therefore to get a reliable hall signal, it is recommended that you add some filter capacitors to these pins.

 ### Hoverboard motor configuration
 Standard 6.5 inch hoverboard hub motors have 30 permanent magnet poles, and thus 15 pole pairs. If you have a different motor you need to count the magnets or have a reliable datasheet for this information.
