question about ardurover output

Posted by James on July 23, 2013 at 5:02pm

the manual/instruction/wiki by default is talking about using servo to steer and electric motor drive. 

But when it comes to gas cars, the throttle is servo as well. Unlike arducopter there is option to choose the output frequency, there is none in ardurover. So I wonder if anyone has clue about the output rate. for what I know, my analog servo will get fried if throttle ch is outputting at higher than 50hz..

also, it seems wiki is lagged behind update. Is there anywhere to find updated version of wiki for tuning and all those sort of things.

    Hi James,

    The Rover runs all servos at 50Hz. It is only the copter code that configures servos for more than 50Hz.

    Cheers, Tridge

    @James,

    Your throttle servo will work with the ArduRover2 throttle servo output.

    As for the Wiki, this is the best that we have at the moment: http://rover.ardupilot.com/
