Hi guys,

I just want to know that if i use a servo for closing and opening the mouth of a gripper,then do i need to program a servo in a loop or i just can program it without a loop..for acquiring grip..

A hobby servo require the position pulse to be sent about every 20msec. The ucontoller code must send this pulse continuously so the code will either need a timed loop or a hardware timer driven ISR.
