Re: NXT SERVO CONTROLING SPEED CONTROLER

Ok I understand the confusion. We are using the NXT with the Servo Controller for Tetrix. The servo controller has a pwm output. We are using the output from the Servo controller and putting that as the input on other speed controllers. The speed controllers are powered independently from a 12v supply. We are doing this because we believe the motors we are trying to power are to large for the hitechnic motor controller.

Did that clear up what we are doing?
