# How to run SysId on a Elevator? {% hint style="danger" %} This guide will only go over how to use SysId on a Spark or Nova Motor Controller. The methodology behind TalonFX and TalonFXS is slightly different. {% endhint %} ## Premise * Already configured the soft and hard limits * Gearing is correct SysId is documented in WPILib and we should follow their documentation as close as possible. {% embed url="" %} ## Creating the SysId Command
