Re: Speed Control for Balancing Vehicle

Quote:
What is the difference between the PWM command and the pulseout command? I'm not a programmer but I'm fiddling a little. I tried my RC car speed control on the pulseout command and it works fine. I've yet to try it with the PWM command.
It is a matter of producing the right wave. I don't believe the PWM command produces a nice on and off signal like the pulseout command does. R/C controllers use that on and off signal to determine the speed of the esc. The only time you would use the PWM command is to produce an analog voltage by attaching a resistor to the pin. I believe Parallax would have more information on it. Also, if you search a little you can find a debate I had with someone on this same topic.
