V2 of the controller is complete, and COMPUTER CONTROL IS WORKING I can move the actuator to any position using 3-5 byte UDP packets sent over the network. Now if I ever get a turbo installed into the car, I can control it with any computer with a network port
Been working on it a little more, 256 step PWM resolution is about the best for the actuator, since it moves a little about every step or 2. The full open state should not be set to 0% duty cycle, since there is a delay between it starting to get a signal and actually moving. PWM duty cycle should not be changed instantly, but sweeped to avoid a delay between the change and it moving. Optimal positions for 256 step PWM with 0x00 as 0% and 0xFF as 100% are 0x26 for full open and 0xF3 for full close.
