If you are not using it, you may s `odrv0.axis0.motor.config.pole_pairs` This is the number of **magnet poles** in the rotor, **divided by two**. To find this, you can simply count the number of permanent magnets in the rotor, if you can see them. _Note: this is not the same as the number of coils in the stator._ If you can't see them, try sliding a magnet around the rotor, and counting how many times it stops. This will be the number of **pole pairs**. If you use a magnetic piece of metal instead of a magnet, you will get the number of **magnet poles**. + `odrv0.axis0.motor.config.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`).
Which motor_type to choose?
