The acceleration test does need reasonably fast speeds to ensure accuracy, however. Make sure that your `max_velocity` in your config is set to this reasonably fast speed that you already know works **reliably.**

>:bulb: There is some interplay between accelerations and speeds. You may get a slightly higher maximum speed with a slightly lower maximum acceleration and vice versa. Experiment!
