50$ robot> servo modify
« on: May 08, 2007, 01:14:33 PM »
I'm a novice in programming the microcontroller and I found out that the servos are being modified by this... How do I send the signal to sorvo to make 0 degrees on the gears?
Also I want to ask you if I could make this after building the whole robot and turning it on.

Thank you!
Try do your best without doing anything! Possible?!?

It depends which microcontroller.

You will need to make a delay of about 500 uS.

Then you turn on the signal pin for the servo --> call the delay --> turn off the signal pin

Repeat this a couple of dozen times a second.

For different angles, you could great a 8uS delay and loop it a number of times. This would be added onto the 500uS delay.

Using 8uS means you have the range of 0.5 - 2.5 mS in 256 steps.

 or use 35 cpu cycles. 20-50 control angle.

Won't the length of the cpu cycle differ between microcontrollers?
