 There is probably no ready-to use chip to control a servo with a digital
 value. But you have two solutions :
 
 1. Try to program a pulse width modulated signal output. You need a fast
 "brain"...
 2. With an digital to analog converter and a 555 chip, you could
 probably convert an 8 bit signal to the right pwm... Didn't test it
 though.
 
 For the first solution, I've already made a simple servo tester, which
 use a standard printer port, and a windows proggy (sources included).
 You can control up to eight servo's with one parallel port...

 Good luck !

I'm new to this site and was wondering if anyone has the information I need. 1)Who makes the UCN 5804 Uni-polar stepper driver and is it still made? 2)Where is a good place to find a wide selection of hobby size stepper motors on a (...)
