What is the case when I should use the ”soft”? Thanks! -Eino Edited by user 21 September 2023 06:11:12(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified

What is the case when I should use the ”soft”? "Hard" and "soft" are presets for the load regulation. I guess you can get similar results with both presets if you fine-tune the other parameters. As I understand it, "hard" is a good option for motors with small or no fly-wheels while "soft" might be a better option for locos with large fly-wheels. I'd try both "hard" and "soft" and also "c90" for all motors (even motors that are not "c90") to see which gives the best results. Then you can try to get even better results with fine tuning. BTW: The "soft" setting has nothing to do with the "soft-drive sinus" motor - there is a different setting for sinus motors.
