# PWM Output

This output will most likely not be used. It provides a 500Hz, 5V PWM output with the duty cycle mirroring the throttle input percentage.

This can be used as an input to a custom motor driver circuit such as the one used on the Driven and weChook cars, or as an input into some 4QD motor drivers.

An example schematic for a custom motor controller is below. Built well it should be reliable, and we can give advice, but attempt this at your own risk, and a backup relay (as shown below) is recommended!! The most important thing to note is that the copper on a PCB can not handle the current required for the motor - we used large aluminium bus bars bolted on top of the PCB.

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.echook.uk/connecting-the-echook-to-the-car/pwm-output.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
