Motor Config 

> Motor Speed 

All stepper motors have limits of the max speed they can achieve. If you set a higher 

“max speed” than your motor can support, 

it will probably jump / loose steps and make weird noises as it will never be able to 

keep up with the controller’s designated 

steps. 

 

Click the 

Motor Speed

 drop down menu and select the desired max speed.  

Click 

Set

 button on the right to push this setting to the controller. 

Setting is stored in controller’s memory

 

 

 

WE STRONGLY SUGGEST TO LEAVE THE MAX SPEED TO 

“PEGASUS 

DEFAULT

  AS IT IS OPTIMIZED FOR THE 

PEGASUS STEPPER MOTOR 

 

 

 

 

 

Motor Config -> Reverse Direction 

In case you need to reverse the motor rotation you can switch the 

Reverse

” 

button to ON. Reverse button is located at 

“Settings tab

. Reverse 

Setting is stored in controller’s memory

 

 

 

A reverse icon will be appeared at the status window of the main application pointing that you have enabled this option.
