to make fewer servos available are to allow a longer maximum pulse length or a shorter period.
Period multiplier is an advanced option for the Mini Maestro 12, 18, and 24 that allows a larger period
(lower pulse rate) on some of the channels. For example, if you select a period of 3 and a multiplier
of 6, you can have some servos run at 3 ms (333 Hz) and the others at 18 ms (55 Hz). When the
multiplier is greater than 1, the pulse rate options will be shown in each channel in the Rate column.
For the Mini Maestro 24-channel servo controller, one extra option is available:
Enable pull-ups on channels 18-20 turns on pull-up resistors for all of the channels 18-20 that are
configured as inputs. This guarantees that the input value will be high when nothing else is driving the
line. When enabled, this feature allows you to connect buttons or switches to channels 18, 19, or 20
without supplying your own external pull-up resistor: simply connect the button/switch between ground
and signal line.
