To add more to all those servo information, I've build a servo
controller which use the printer connector on the PC. It doesn't use any
electronic, everything is made by software (Delphi 3.0) It is quite
usefull to try this at home since you'll understand *exactly* how works
a servo motor, it's advantage and disadvantage...
But I'm not sure this could be made with RCX, since timing is very
important.
Every 20 msec (not critical, let's say 60 msec is good also) you have to
send a pulse of a length *between* 1 to 2 msec. The length gives the
position of the servo arm.
