The Spike relay is either on or off, supplying full power or no power to the load. There are two relays in each Spike, making it possible to power the load with either forward or reverse polarity.

To make a Victor speed controller supply full power forward, send it a pwm value of 254. To make it supply full power in reverse, send it a pwm value of 0. To make it supply no power, send it a pwm value of 127.
