Re: Serial PWM motor controller

Thanks again. I did do a Wikipedia search on stepper motors, at the time I really didn't understand much of that article but now I should be much better off.

As far as the Vex parts go, well I don't personally own any of those either. I do have some of my schools vex parts but those are just to work on our FTC bot for this year. I would consider using the vex parts but I'd still want to use the motherboard instead of the vex microcontroller. Which could still be done however it would make a rather large vex bot.

But in this case small might be good. The question is will the vex motors be able to handle moving the computer components and a battery to power the whole thing... I don't think so.

I think it's time for me to stop asking questions and start finding answers on my own. You guys have been so helpful, thanks!
