Re: PWM maximum outputs

I can't tell you the absolute numbers, but I will add that if you view this as a mathematical expression it isn't necessary to know the resolution. The reason for choosing -1 to 1 was to allow for different resolutions and easier ways of thinking about the task. If you decide you want it linear and lets say limited to half speed, instead of wiring the joystick values to drive, wire the values over 2. If you want a third, divide by 3. If you want it to be a parabola, do the math to decide what shape you want (probably j*j/3). Anyway, that way you can easily probe what goes into the drive.
