Hi, does anyone know what sets 10x20 green brick baseplates come in? I'm guessing some sort of bucket from the early 70's, I have a couple but can't remember the 70's ;) thanks, Chris Hill (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)

okay.. how about this.. avg servo needs.. 60hz pulses.. 1.0ms pulse width = end point 1.5ms pulse width = middle of rotation 2.0ms pulse width = other end point that is the form of the data to the servo. so you need to out put pulses 60 times a (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Sorry about that! The resulting 0.03 mS pulse width increments would result in 5 degree increments in the position of the servo shaft. How about that? JB -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) The answer is pretty simple, actually. In order to control a servo, you need to use pulses whose lengths are on the order of 1-2 ms. The more steps you get in that range, the more servo positions you can use. NQC can't produce pulses as short (...) (25 years ago, 20-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
