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

What we had resorted to this year was to bump the speed on our flywheel-like shooter wheel to keep it in the range we needed for a specific shooting solution. The software people can discuss this in greater detail. When needed we added a little power to the wheel motors to keep it in the range. We used a simple encoder for wheel speed feedback. The first time I heard it running, I thought it was broken.
