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?

Thanks to everyone who sent answers clarifying the issues of what signals you
need to send to a servo. It was all a result of me thinking that servo pulse
width was controlling the rate of rotation (rather than the rotational
position, which is *actually* what they control! :-)

Anyway as you might have read I've already developed a stepper motor solution
(http://www.mrob.com/lego/stepper.html) and it looks like it's going to be
possible to control real servos in legOS. Keep us posted!

call me stupid, I know about (.) <- this much about electronics. I want to know how to hook a servo to the rcx. Could someone explain it in english? (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
