# Simple Joystick Man-In-The-Loop Obstacle Avoidance Tutorial-JavaScript

### Rover PWM Motor Drive Tutorial

Learn how to command the motors using the Motor Hat provided in your Rover kit.

This guide requires no prior programming experience and users should focus more on the concepts being introduced versus getting lost in the minutia of the scripting language.

### Overview

In this guide you will learn how to manipulate and control the Rover based on the following basic concepts:

1. How to generate PWM commands for the ROVER.
2. Understand how the different PWM settings affect motor drive and direction.
3. Visualize PWM concepts with an appreciation for generated outputs.

## Querying This Documentation
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, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://rover-se.mantismc.com/pwm-control/man-in-the-loop-obstacle-avoidance-tutorial-joystick.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
