In PBASIC, PWM vs PULSOUT

[sanddrag]

In PBASIC, what is the difference between PWM and PULSOUT? Which is better to use for sending signals to a speed control? If you use PWM, do you have to put a pause and a loop like when you use PULSOUT?

[Joe Johnson]

Going from memory...


PWM gives a continuous set of pulses that AVERAGE the duty cycle set in the command.

PulseOut gives a single pulse of the length set in the command.

I do no think PWM will to do a good job for generating a hobbyist RC signal.
