Re: victor 884 basics
It's the same as a hobby servo..
Period is up to 20ms or so (the crio updates it at 10ms, it can't be too long or it will time out and stop)
Center is 1.5ms high, with the remainder of the pulse low
Default calibration puts the forward/reverse at 1ms and 2ms, but you could expand that range to about .5ms-2.5ms if you recalibrate it.
The Victor then takes this and converts it back into a signed number, which it uses to determine the output pulse forward or backward. In Brake, it will short both of the outputs to ground, in Coast it will leave the outputs open. The jumper determines this (B or C depending on if you want Brake or Coast)
The only control mode you have is % voltage. Amperage and input voltage can vary as long as they are in the working range.
