    Hi everyone!
    I purchased an ODrive v3 some time ago, but I can't get it to work like it should. Probably because of my lack of experience in programming.
    Everything is installed. ODrive is connecting. Calibration work fine.
    After that, moving to a setpoint sometimes works, sometimes doesn't work. But that is maybe because I am using the wrong commands.
    Also, tuning the gains seems like it is working, but I can't find the right values for me.

    Is there anyone in the Netherlands that can help me? Or Germany? (I live close to the border at Emmerich).
    Recommending another motor driver is also fine if it is easier for a programming noob like me.
    I am using 2 SK8-6374-149kv motors with a 24v 60a power supply

    Hi, have you used dump_errors command to check out what went wrong?
    There can be many things like current limit violation, encoder slip etc.
