💡 Tuning Tips
Sensor types (values shifted by +10 in newer firmware):
0=None (no sensor), 1/11=KTY83, 2/12=KTY84 (default, most common), 3/13=PT1000,
4/14=NTC (generic), some firmwares support TeslaM3 by name.

Other parameters in the Motor Control category that work together with snsm:
fmax
HzMaximum motor frequency. RPM = fmax × 60 / polepairs.
boost
digVoltage at 0 RPM — controls starting torque. Higher = stronger launch.
fweak
HzField weakening start frequency. Above this, motor enters constant-power region.
numimp
pprSpeed sensor pulses per revolution.
polepairs
Motor pole pairs. CRITICAL — set this correctly for your motor.
fslipmax
HzMaximum slip frequency (induction motors). Sets full-throttle torque.
fslipmin
HzMinimum slip frequency (induction motors). Sets creep torque.
encmode
enumEncoder/position sensor type. This is your motor's 'eyes' — it tells the inverter where the rotor is.
dirchrpm
rpmRPM below which direction change is allowed.
udcnom
VNominal DC link voltage. 0 = auto-calculate from actual bus voltage.
