| The firmware does do PWM. One reason you aren't seeing much difference is that the motor has an internal flywheel. When the pulse is "on", the motor revs up to speed, then this speed is maintained by the flywheel during the "off" pulse. If you put a (...) (26 years ago, 17-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
