Re: Are we still using only 256 unique PWM steps?

To beat a dead horse, 256 levels of PWM control are plenty. One must consider the system to which the output of the controller is connected - DC motors don't really have much of a reaction to voltages that differ by something on the order of 0.1 volt. Take that into the mechanism to which the motor is attached, and inertia will foil you every time.

Once you have reached overkill, more is not useful.
