Re: Generating Victor compatible PWM's
Standard hobby PWM dictates the 1ms is full reverse, 1.5 is neutral and 2ms is full forward, and the most commong timing is 50hz (every 20ms) if you take too long it'll discard the signal as unstable and I've never heard of anything going wrong if its too fast, but try to get your pulse out at 15 to 20ms (50-67hz I think) Any faster and I don't think it will work, but to be entirely positive you might want to try PMing JVN as he actually works for IFI and should be able to answer your question.

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
