Seriously? Are you saying there was some visible or audible manifestation?

If so, check the following and fix if necessary:

- make sure the motor controller jumper is in the "coast" position (not "brake").

- make sure you are running the control loop fast enough (10 ms is good)

- make sure your sensor is capable of giving an up-to-date speed reading faster than your control loop iteration rate
