From my tests with the CyberGear motor, using the torque feedback to detect the endstops should work.

I just received the GIM6010-8 motor with the built-in encoder, and it works as expected. I can move the output shaft when itā€™s powered off, and when I power it back up, it reports the correct position. The extra encoder is packed inside the existing shell, so it doesnā€™t affect the overall size of the base product. And best of all, even with the second encoder, itā€™s still cheaper than the CyberGear motor.

Thanks for your feedback jgillick, thatā€™s great news! Iā€™ll try to finish my tests on the cybergear, then Iā€™ll think about ordering and trying this model later.

Hi jgillick ! I have a problem with my GIM6010-8 motor equipped with a GDS68 card.When using USB with odrivetool on the terminal, when I try to recalibrate it with the command odrv0.axis0.requested_state = 3, it beeps briefly, turns a little in one direction, then in the other, but does not stop. Commands to try to stop it, such as odrv0.axis0.requested_state = 1 or odrv0.reboot(), do not work. The terminal freezes and the motor continues to turn. I also tried calibrating via CAN, but got the same result.

I tried odrv0.erase_configuration() and a firmware flash, but the result remained the same. Iā€™m really wondering why this motor suddenly got stuck in this state.

Do you have any ideas? Thank you for your help!
