Configuration
| Variable | Required | Secret | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| GEAROTONS_MOTOR_BACKEND | — | — | 'auto' (default: real serial backend when the servomotor library is installed, otherwise the simulator, which says so in list_serial_ports), 'serial', or 'mock'. For real motors install servomotor-mcp[serial]. |
| GEAROTONS_SERIAL_PORT | — | — | Optional default port for the connect tool (e.g. /dev/cu.usbserial-210, /dev/ttyUSB0, COM3). Normally unnecessary: the model discovers ports with list_serial_ports. |
| GEAROTONS_DEFAULT_SPEED_DPS | — | — | Default speed in degrees/second for the high-level move tools. |
