Control motor speed

This must be a dumb question, but isn't it possible to control the speed of a motor? I am playing around with the picaxe 28, and as far as i can tell, there is only on/off. I had imagined i could control how much power went through to the motor, hence controlling its speed.

PWM(pulse width modulation),

PWM(pulse width modulation), I’m pretty sure picaxe can do it, search the manuals, and/or google.

There is indeed something called pwm in the manual, i will take a look.

Thanks.

You need to use the PWMOUT

You need to use the PWMOUT command, not PWM.

PWMOUT might be the function

PWMOUT might be the function used in picaxe for PWM…
