Re: Vex Programming

I finally got a little time to play a bit. I added some code in the default routine to limit the ramping of a motor command in response to the joystick, sort of a soft start. I'm really new at this, just dabbling to get used to the language and the environment.

I'm guessing the PWM frequency, being so low, probably helps cut stiction in startup, possibly helpful for smooth starts.
