Re: how to generate P.W.M pulse between 0-100 d.c
It sounds like you are taking the 8520 cpu in the mini controller to do something outside of FIRST. This forum deals with FIRST competitions.

That being said, IFI has default software on their website to control all of the pins on the EDU controller. I would guess (I'm not a lawyer) that you could use this software for any purpose, whether for profit or educational purposes. Kevin Watson's code is strictly for educational purposes w/o paying royalties.

You must understand how to program, and understand how to read in C, to use the above solutions. I'm not sure if Easy C supports the PIC18F8520 processor.

You will want to study the 8520 datasheet. It shouldn't be too difficult to figure out how IFI distributes the I/O to the outside world.

IFI has documented this processor. It was used in the 2005 competition in the Full-size RC Controller.
