That did answer my question. I am not familiar with servo motors, I
have only used plain DC motors. I am also familiar with PWM. I was
just unable to determine if the same PWM signal that drives plain DC
motors could also drive servo motors. From what I understand a servo
motor and DC motor use PWM to control the speed, and if that is the case
I did not see the difference in using the same PWM signal that drives a
DC motor to also drive a servo motor. Thank you for all of your help.
If I stated anything incorrectly in this paragraph please correct me.

| For servo, there is a certain threshold duty cycle (say 50%) of the PWM signal, where anything above this threshold will make it to run forward, and less will make it to run backward. So, you still need to apply the PWM even if the servo is not (...) (26 years ago, 6-Jun-98, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
