Re: URGENT(ish): Twitchy motors

I haven't really touched any of the controls at this point, but I do remember reading something about the PWM being the same as a servo PWM signal. If so, you should be able to isolate the problem with a servo or a servo tester (to generater servo signals).

Also, I saw on ours that some of the ring terminals were placed under the metal pad (not on top, between the pad and screw), so the connection was not secure. I thought it could be a flaky signal, so perhaps check for that just in case.

Cheers,
-Neil.
