Re: What is duty cycle?
The new speed controller does output a 20kHz PWM to the motors, but that is separate from the input signal. For 2009, the input will be the standard PWM servo signal, as used with the IFI system. Once the CAN interface is opened up for use, probably in 2010, we should be able to send a signal at 20 kHz.
