entry.
√
Enter the value 655.
√
Count how many turns the wheel made.
√
Multiply this value by 10 and enter the result into Table 3-1 next to the 1.31 ms
entry.
√
Keep increasing your durations by 5 (0.01 ms) until you are up to 850 (1.7 ms).
√
Use a spreadsheet, calculator, or graph paper to graph the data.
√
Repeat this process for your other servo.
You can repeat these measurements for the left wheel. You will have to modify the
PULSOUT
commands so that pulses with a duration of
pulseWidth
are sent to P13 and
pulses with a duration of
pulseWidthComp
are sent to P12.
