PPM or PWM signal - advanteges, disadvantages
![Post Post](./styles/prosilver_se/imageset/icon_post_target.gif)
For time being in my RC garage I didn't find any receiver from which i could pull out PPM signal.
Till I find one I'm thinking of using PWM signal from the receiver.
Just to be 100% sure - PWM signal is the one that comes directly from the RC receiver and is passed to servos?
On the Gluonpilot board we have 3 PPM signal input connection + 4 PWM input connection.
Reading Tom's page I dind't find anywhere under which PPM/PWM connections are what servo channels.
The only thing i found is when I change the configuration to read PWM signals is that the 1st channel will be under PPM input on the board. What is the order of remaining 4 channels on PWM input?
Also, what are the advantages and disadvantageous of using either PPM or PWM signals?
The only thing that comes to my mind is that when using PWM we need more cable connections![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
