==================
Motor overview
==================
The motor is one of the most used elements in sardana. A motor represents
anything that can be *changed* (and can potentially take some time to do it),
so, not only physical motors (like a stepper motors) fit into this category but
also, for example, a power supply for which the electrical current can be
modified.
As it happens with the motor controller hardware and its physical motor(s),
a sardana motor is always associated with it's sardana motor controller.
