Re: counting in seconds for the autonomous mode??

Well, we have had problems when using those generated PWMs, especially if they are called quickly. We've observed fluctuations in the motor we're trying to adjust as well as induced outputs on other PWMs that are generated. Switching to PWMs 1-12 solved these problems.

While it may not be a bad idea in theory to call G_PWMs quickly, for practical application with the robots we are building, its unnecessary and possibly detrimental. Do you really need to update your actual motor output at faster than 38hz?
