I have read through the "Whats·a microcontroller" text regarding the servo supplied and from what i can make out is it will work on a supply of 5v and a signal from 1ms to 2ms, my question is would it be ok at 5v with a signal range between 1.03 and 2.01ms would the extra .01 ms on the high end of the range·be within safe limits for the servo?·am i worrying for nothing here? if so what would be a high end limit before damage occurs?

    No damage will result.·

    The servo is set up to "understand" only pulses from approximately 1ms to approximately 2ms.
