Hello, I'm having problems driving a motor via a motor driver and the
PAK-VIII. I just called the motor driver's tech support and
discovered this. Although I'm using a normal motor (not a
modified/unmodified servo) the Motor driver that I'm using (Victor
883) interprets pwm the way explained in Al William's example with a
servo motor (http://www.al-williams.com/servo_bot.htm). a 2ms pulse
width means forward, a 1ms pulse width mean backward. I changed the
I/O pin numbers in the code to fit the I/O pins of the stamp that I'm
using (changed to: datap con 1 ; datapin var in1; clk con 2) . The
motor driver tech help mentioned that the total length of the signal
should be 17ms long, is there a way to do this with the pak-VIII? Any
other ideas what might be wrong (I cc'ed this message to Mr. Williams
but I was wondering if anyone else has some tips too). Thanks!
