Hi,

I've finally gotten back to using my IB to control a TA RC car. The
problem that I am having is that it won't go into reverse. When I use
the RC controller, I have to flip it into reverse twice before it
actually takes but I believe that to be an artifact of the controller
instead of the esc. In any case, I recently got a javelin stamp and used
its servo port to make it go both forward and reverse. When I hooked up
both the IB and the JS to a 'sillicope, I found that the IB has a
slightly shorter period than the JS. This might mean that the esc sees
the pulse as being longer than it really is. When I shortened the pulse
times on the JS, it acted just like the IB does, not going into reverse.
The JS gives you really nuts and bolts access to the servo pwm. Is there
somewhere in the servo code that lets you do the same thing?

Thanks,

wjr
