Hello,
I just started using Odrive Micro, I do not see any ins to connect a Brake resistor, is it not
required with Micro ?

Hi! The Micro doesn’t support a brake resistor. You can use a regen clamp or battery. Note though, the sort of low-power motors used on the Micro usually won’t be able to regenerate too much current. You can try setting config.dc_max_negative_current to a value around -1, and then set the config.dc_bus_overvoltage_trip_level to a few volts above your supply voltage, so the ODrive disarms in case it regenerates too much current and raises the bus voltage significantly. You can also use the active power limit feature to disable regenerative braking, by setting axis0.config.I_bus_soft_min to 0. Note though this may affect the motor’s ability to rapidly decelerate.
