PBP projects for R/C models

No sure what was wrong. Maybe a solderless connection was not tight.

Got a couple warning windows about voltage must be 4.5v.
Strange since the power is coming from my PC via the USB port. Then that went away. Got a couple of red "Code Protect" statements. Had to restart the application to get ride of them.

Twice in a row it loaded my .hex file successfully. Good!! Now to adding sonars, SN7404 and the DPDT relay.

Thanks for the support. It really helps!

How do I learn exactly what the 16F887 does when given a HPWM PBP command? Seems to me the car's electronic speed control (and hence the car) reacts slower to PIC PWM signals than to radio control PWM commands.

I was wondering if throwing a LOW at the PWM output port might slow the car down quicker than just changing HPWM commands from 'forward' to 'reverse'.

Is this a potentially worthwhile path of inquiry? Something is slower than it should be and it is not the sensor trigger rate.
