Re: pwms for relays

I'm not a programmer, but I'm pretty sure its safe to say you can use 1-7 (8 is dedicated to the pump, but I'm sure a better then novice programmer could change that). You'll just have to assign your operator control switches to the proper switch in programming

Re: pwms for relays

If you could clarify for what you want to use you want to use a pwm line for, it would be helpful, because as is, I think some posters might be confused as to what you're asking. On the RC, there is a bank of pwm pins and a bank or relay pins, so the two don't need to overlap. Hope this helps (see the below .pdf on the usfirst site and examine the RC)

Re: pwms for relays

PWM's are to send signals to and for the motor speed controllers (vicotrs).
There is a bank if pins for Relays Input/Ouput. 1-8 that you use for the relays which send forward or reverse at full power to a Motor or a Pump.

Hope this helps.
