Pulse your servo plus 1 from last pulse. In other words, pulse 775, 776,
777, and so on to determine how many pulses it takes to move your servo 15
degrees. Divide 60 minutes by the number of pulses and that will give you the
pause between pulses.

    Is it possible to maipulate a servo to rotate 15 degrees per hour?
    If so how would I go about doing it??

    If you are using an un-modified servo, this
    is very straightforward -- as an earlier post
    explained -- but I don't think you can get
    full 360 degree positioning this way.

    If you are using a modified servo (for 'Bot
    driving purposes) you'll need a position feedback
    of some kind. Just be aware...
