Double-click on the DC Motor object, labelled {{{2}}}, in order to run the example: [[Image:{{{1}}}_DCMotor_Example.jpg|center|link=]]

General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

Toggle the BackEMF Sensing checkbox to enable/disable back-EMF sensing on the {{{1}}}.
Drag the Target Velocity slider from -1 (full reverse) to 1 (full forward) to make the motor move.
Manipulate the Acceleration slider to increase/decrease the amount of time it takes the DC Motor to reach a target velocity.

+*Toggle the ''BackEMF Sensing'' checkbox to enable/disable back-EMF sensing on the {{{1}}}.
-* At the top of the window, information about your device and the properties of this particular channel will be listed.
+*Drag the ''Target Velocity'' slider from -1 (full reverse) to 1 (full forward) to make the motor move.
-* In the middle, the present duty cycle (from 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 is "no power" and 1.0 is "full power") and the back EMF in volts is displayed.
+*Manipulate the ''Acceleration'' slider to increase/decrease the amount of time it takes the DC Motor to reach a target velocity.
-* At the bottom, the duty cycle can be set from -100% (full reverse) to 100% (full forward), and the acceleration limit can be adjusted for a faster ramp-up to the desired duty cycle. A checkbox here switches on back EMF sensing, which will cause the number above to update in real time. For more information about back EMF, see the [[#Technical_Details|technical section]].
