Rebased to docs-v0.5.6, changed hard link to reference in hoverboard.rst, added reference to getting-started.rst for Encoder Configuration, clarified statement about changing current limit to 60A, clarified hoverboard guide settings relateding to use without an encoder.

+If using a hoverboard motor with an encoder attached instead of the internal hall sensors, use the encoder configuration section of the :ref:`Getting Started <encoder-config>` guide.
 If you set the encoder to hall mode (instead of incremental). 
 See the :ref:`pinout <encoders-hall-effect>` for instructions on how to plug in the hall feedback.
 The hall feedback has 6 states for every pole pair in the motor.
