Servos To Hold Position

Cactii

I'm looking for a way to position something using a servo or similar electronic device.

The problem is that the server returns to position after the pulse command and I don't want it to do that.

Is there a way to get the servo to hold its' position after the command is sent or is there another type of positioning servo that will do this?

Thanks for your help!!!

Servos have to receive the control pulse about 50 times a second or the control circuitry in the servo turns off (and it loses position). There are co-processors that will repeat the control pulse for you like the ServoPAL made by Parallax. Servo controllers like the Parallax Servo Controller also will repeat the control pulse for you when you command it to move the servo to a particular position. Look at the documentation for these for details.
