Without any configuration, you can directly control your motor using the properties in this area of the program.

===Target Velocity===
This property allows you to control the power being supplied to your motor. At a constant load, increasing the Target Velocity will increase the speed of your motor.

Units of ''duty cycle'' are used because the controller uses a pulse-width modulated (PWM) signal to modify the average voltage across your motor.

The table below shows the result of different Target Velocity values when using a 24-volt power supply.

{| class="wikitable" style="margin:auto;width:75%;text-align: center;"
! style="text-align: center;" | Velocity
! style="text-align: center;" | Result
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 0.0 || The motor is not being powered.<br>The average voltage across your motor is 0V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 1.0 || The motor is fully powered.<br>The average voltage across your motor is 24V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | -1.0 || The motor is fully powered (in reverse).<br>The average voltage across your motor is -24V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | 0.5 || The average voltage across your motor is 12V.
|-
| style="text-align: center;" | -0.5 || The average volage across your motor is -12V.

As shown above, Target Velocity does not guarantee a particular velocity in RPM, m/s, etc. (for this, view the [https://wwwdev.int.phidgets.com/docs/Velocity_Controller_API_Guide Velocity Controller] guide). Instead, it allows you to increase motor power, decrease motor power, or reverse the direction of your motor.

====Related Parameters====
It is important to understand the different parameters that may impact the Target Velocity property, these are listed here:
*When setting a new Target Velocity, the controller will intelligently accelerate (or decelerate) to the new target based on the [[#Acceleration|Acceleration]] property. This allows for smooth and repeatable movements that improve power consumption.
*The controller can reduce the [[#Velocity|Velocity]] if the current through your motor exceeds the [[#Current Limit|Current Limit]] or [[#Surge Current Limit|Surge Current Limit]]. This will help keep your system safe in a variety of situations.
*Other conditions such as [[#Over Temperature|Over Temperature]], [[#Energy Dump|Energy Dump]], [[#E-Stop|E-Stop]], and [[#Failsafe|Failsafe]] may also impact your Velocity.

====Other Considerations====
There are two advanced methods of configuring your {{#switch: {{{1}}}|bldc= BLDC Motor Phidget| dc = DC Motor Phidget| #default = Phidget}} that relate to Target Velocity:
# [[#Drive Mode|Drive Mode]]
# [[#Braking Enabled|Braking Enabled]]

Please view the documentation on these topics for more information.
