Smile Half the solution!

Great. According to the (rather long) thread above, Innovation First has said that the Victor expects a pulse width between 1.0 and 2.0 ms for full fwd-rev control (1.5 ms pulse width is center). I had assumed this but wanted to hear it from someone else. The 17ms delay between pulses is approximate. The industry standard is 20 ms period for the square wave (20 ms period minus a 2ms positive pulse = 18 ms delay). In my experience the delay can vary from 15 to 25 ms. Some servos (or speed controllers) can tolerate more or less so stay as close to 20 ms as possible. For BS2 a delay 18 should be OK. If you get jitter in the control or nonlinearity, try delay values between 17 and 20.

Now, does anyone know how to wire a Spike BLUE to a BS2?
