System and method for adjusting an operation of a motor

A motor controller coupled to a motor, said motor controller comprising a processor, a memory coupled to said processor, and a plurality of inputs coupled to said processor, said motor controller configured to:

• receive, through at least one of said plurality of inputs, a first activation signal having a first type, wherein the first type is one of a direct current (DC) signal and an alternating current (AC) signal;
• operate the motor in a first mode of operation in response to receiving the first activation signal;
• receive, through at least one of said plurality of inputs, a second activation signal in combination with receiving the first activation signal, the second activation signal having a second type, wherein the second type is the other of the one of the DC signal and the AC signal associated with the first activation signal;
• and
• in response to receiving both the first activation signal of the first type and the second activation signal of the second type, reconfigure said processor such that said motor controller selectively increases or decreases a value of a parameter associated with the first mode of operation.

A method of adjusting a value of a parameter associated with operation of a motor, said method implemented by a motor controller including a processor coupled to a memory, a first input, a second input, and a third input, said method comprising:

• receiving, by the motor controller through the first input, a first activation signal;
• operating the motor in a first mode of operation in response to receiving the first activation signal;
• determining, by the motor controller, that the first activation signal is no longer being received through the first input;
• receiving, by the motor controller through the third input, a second activation signal, the third input associated with a calibration mode of the motor controller;
• and
• while receiving the second activation signal, reconfiguring the motor controller such that when the first input is activated during the calibration mode, the motor controller increases a value of a parameter associated with the first mode of operation and when the second input is activated during the calibration mode, the motor controller decreases the value of the parameter associated with the first mode of operation.

• receiving, by the processor through at least one of the plurality of inputs, a second activation signal in combination with receiving the first activation signal, the second activation signal having a second type that is different from the first type, wherein the second type is the other of the one of the DC signal and the AC signal associated with the first activation signal;
• and
• in response to receiving both the first activation signal of the first type and the second activation signal of the second type, reconfiguring the processor such that the motor controller selectively increases or decreases a value of a parameter associated with the first mode of operation.
