Answered: Motor PWM duty cycle

VEX V5 Technical Support OFFICIAL Tech Support

I noticed that the motor control PWM duty cycle is different for the Cortex when the program type is “competition” vs when it is say “standalone with WiFi”. In competition the motor pulses are every 18mS, similar to most hobby servo controllers. In standalone the pulses are every 8mS. I wondered what the thinking behind these different rates was.

Master firmware is 2.81, programming is from RobotC V2.32.

Hello VEX Customer,

That’s a very good question, the difference between pulses was intended to help the programmer in debug situations.
Thanks.
