| - | The joystick allows for variable control, so can drive the submarine a variable speeds. The propulsion motors are driven at variable speed using pulse length modulation - ie they are turned on and run a full speed for a short period, then turned off for a short period, the ratio of on to off determines the average speed. Speed control appears to go from a 20% to 100% duty cycle. | + | The joystick allows for variable control, so can drive the submarine at variable speeds.
