When I see the servo chatter, the knob is returning the same value. In
fact I can just set a constant unchanging value without using the knob and
get the chatter.
I've tried this on two HB's and get the same results. The servos are small
Futabas.

| I have noticed in my experiments that the HB servo routines don't interact well with the LCD. In order to get them to work reliably in my Handyboard library I redesigned the way the LCD driver worked. Unfortunately for you that library was built for (...)

| Hi all, Futaba servo's chatter when the pulses are not updated quickly enough. At best, this produces a slight buzz, at worst they 'hunt and seek' their position a tiny bit. I don't know how fast the HB routines update the pulse, but standard (...) (27 years ago, 14-Apr-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
