Re: PWM Duty Cycle

Bear in mind that duty cycle is not the salient value in a PWM signal used for controlling motors in FRC. Instead, we use pulse width, varying from about 1.5 mSec to about 2.5 mSec, with varying amounts of time between pulses depending on which motor controller is being used.

I know you know this, but for others reading this thread in the future they should be aware of this detail.
