Mariss,

Agreed, it is different from a servo. But when you start driving them
from a controller program with them on a machine you can vastly change
the performance by adjusting the acceleration ramps and pulse widths.
Guess that should really be called tuning the software, but the results
are apparent with the performance of the motor.
