* `brake_resistance`: This is the resistance of the brake resistor. If you are not using it, you may set it to 0.0f.
* `motor_type`: This is the type of motor being used. Currently two types of motors are supported -- High-current motors (` MOTOR_TYPE_HIGH_CURRENT`) and Gimbal motors (MOTOR_TYPE_GIMBAL).
### Motor Mode
The firwmare currently supports two different types of motors, high-current motors, and Gimbal motors.
### Motor Modes
The firwmare currently supports two different types of motors, high-current motors, and Gimbal motors. If you're using a regular hobby brushless motor like [this](https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-aerodrive-sk3-5065-236kv-brushless-outrunner-motor.html) one, you should set `motor_mode` to `MOTOR_TYPE_HIGH_CURRENT`. For high-torque gimbal motors like [this](https://hobbyking.com/en_us/turnigy-hd-5208-brushless-gimbal-motor-bldc.html) one, you should choose `MOTOR_TYPE_GIMBAL`.
**Further detail:**
If 100's of mA of current noise is "small" for you, you can choose `MOTOR_TYPE_HIGH_CURRENT`.
If 100's of mA of current noise is "large" for you, and you do not intend to spin the motor very fast (omega * L << R), and the motor is fairly large resistance (1 ohm or larger), you can chose `MOTOR_TYPE_GIMBAL`.
