How to choose motor type?

I have a motor, the phase register is 8 ohm.

I want to drive this motor using odrive34 board, the firmware is newest.

when I set motor_type = MOTOR_TYPE_HIGH_CURRENT, odrive34 report error ERROR_PHASE_RESISTANCE_OUT_OF_RANGE

when I set motor_type = MOTOR_TYPE_GIMBAL, odrive35 report error ERROR_CONTROLLER_FAILED

log info of two case as below:

Oh no odrv0 disappeared

That’s definitely a high resistance motor intended for GIMBAL mode. But I don’t actually know how to configure motors for this mode, sorry :frowning:
