Are motor speeds proportional to PWM value?
Hi everyone,
I apologize in advance if I ask(ed) a stupid question. I'm a software person, so sometimes I don't know what I'm talking about.

My question is: is the motor speed proportional to PWM value? For example, if I set (in software) the motor to spin at half value, will it go half as fast as it would at full power? Would it depend on the motor/speed controller? (we're using Jaguars).

Thanks,
Kevin
