PWM using PIC16F818
« on: November 08, 2008, 12:55:18 PM »
Hello everyone,

I am interested in rotating a servo motor to a specific location.
The problem is I don't know much about assembly and I need to program PIC16F818 (I can use a different PIC if it is recommended).
I am trying to rotate 18 servo motor everyone in a certain position.

Help needed!!!

Thanks in advance

It is easier to help if you ask specific questions.  in the mean time, there are many assembly language tutorials on the internet.  Check them out, they are very helpful.

I recommend writing in C if you have that option.

Also, there aren't that many microcontrollers out there that can do 18 servos . . . Seen my Axon yet?

Admin is right, if you have the option C would be best.  Assembly is good if you want instructions fast, but with today's possessor speed, i don't see that as a the problem as it use to be.  There are a lot of C tutorials on the internet also.  If you are just learning then I go along with admin, learnig C would be your best expenditure (is that a word?) of energy.
