I am using online STMC board-designer tool to design my custom motor board. All great and fun, but when I click save, the only option I have is to share the board which is a json file. And that is not importable into STM32CubeMX for further file generation. So how do I do this?
I think I am missing a step. I am on Linux, so I use STM32CubeMX from Visual Studio Code, and I have also opened CubeIDE without any hint how to do this. I searched the Motor Control Workbench and while in Create Project there is boards section with my custom board in there, but then I need to select a motor - which is another step I am missing. I assume for starter I would just add the specification details of the motor, so that I could run it, and then connect the MotorPilot software to it, but I need some initial software running to even connect MotorPilot.
Thanks for the reply in advance.

OK, I found out I can clone existing motor and then change the parameters. However now I am stuck on below screen for PWM generation where it does not allow me to add any value, but also the error message is not really helpful. I must admit that dead time is just my estimate - I wanted bigger dead time to start with, as it might be better for the first runs.
Anyone has any ideas?
