## Specific Configuration

!!! note
The PWM remains on even after the end position has been reached. The motor then permanently tries to hold the position and could thereby trigger noises or a slight "twitching". If this is not desired, you can switch off the PWM after reaching the end position with ```#define SHUTTER_CLEAR_PWM_ONSTOP```.

### Pulse Motors
There are shutters that have two relays but only need a pulse to start or stop. Depending on the current situation a pulse will stop the shutter or send it into a specific direction. To use these kinds of shutters a [`PulseTime`](Commands.md#pulsetime) must be defined on each relay. The minimum setting that seems to make it work consistently is `2`. A setting of `1` does not work. If the shutter moves too fast and does not react to a stop command, increase the setting to `3` or `4`.

### Servo Motors
Servos are small devices with typical 180° or 360" rotation movement. The position will be drived by the PWM duty cycle time. This will all automatically calculated

!!! note
If you miss low angles (i.e 2°) you should be able to get this by changing the minimum `ShutterPWMRange`. If this does not help you can customize `PwmFrequency`. Normally for PWM servos, there is no calibration required, but you have the option to do a calibration. Check the documentation for shuttercallibration. Maybe `ShutterSetHalfway` is already enough. Otherwise you can do a fine granular calibration.

!!! note
If you change the shutteropenduration/closeduration the servo will operate slower, but now the servo also achieves small angle changes.
