Using an Non First Microcontroller with Victor 884 Motor Controller

10 ma should be more than adequate. How did you measure that?

Your circuit should work with the Jag. You may not get full output (see Al's post) because the Jags want a wider range on the pulse width, but it should work... Unless, perhaps, the Jag's don't like the 4 ms period. If had a Jag here I'd test it at 4ms.
