It's actually a couple of digital signals that are toggling to the on and off states, but strictly speaking it's not a "square" wave with regular period and 50% duty cycle.

I'd say you generally have too much technical detail. Personally, I don't like the idea of a directed technical pitch as part of fundraising. Remember...as we hear time and again, "It's not just about the robot"!.

Most likely, you won't be talking to technical people. So, if you make it out to be something like "hey, we can make our robot better, do more stuff, and have more features with these tools" that should be proper messaging. If they later ask why, then drown them in technicalities.
