Board Manager documentation issue: minDeadTime cannot be set to "null"

The wiki documentation of the PhaseVoltageGeneration property minDeadTime says that if this property doesn't apply to a driver it has to be set to null.

As we are using a driver that already provides automatic dead time generation (and which cannot be disabled), I disabled this feature by setting it to "null", however the Board Manager complained with following error message: Incorrect type. Expected "number".

The correct way to disable this seems to be to set the value to "0" and not "null" as specified in the documentation.
I recommend fixing the documentation accordingly.

Hello @DMeie.2 ,

Thanks a lot for the report. This is indeed a typo. One should read 0 and not null. The documentation will be fixed.

Best Regards,
