Re: [AVR-Chat] Re: PWM Help

What kind of motor are you trying to control?  Synchronous AC motors do 
not work by PWM.  Stepper motors like the kind used in satellite dish 
feed polarotors use PWM. Other steppers require a set of phased pulses 
which vary the pulse frequency to control the speed.  Regular DC motors 
can be controlled in a variety of ways.
