And that's a lot of chrome. Are you gonna build a trailer for it? ROSCO (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.technic, FTX)

| | | | Re: using PWM output to control Lego motors

| PWM for servo pulse is on a three wire system (Pos, Neg, and data). The pulse is a series of different length square waves sent to the servo or ESC in a certain length of time. This pulse is then translated by the servo or ESC as a "position" it (...) (20 years ago, 2-Feb-05, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
