servos.....

Anthony Castronovo

hello out there.... I am wondering if there is a simple way to slow down the movement
of a servo. the motion is a simple clockwise counterclockwise movement activated by
a switch, i would just like the servo to move slower. any ideas???

Anthony,
The solution to your problem is to make a couter that will change the output value to the servo in small steps. Instead of sending the pulse that would go all the way from say -70 degrees to +70 degrees (using center as zero), you would set up a loop that would go 5 degrees at a time with a suitable delay between each change.

Thanks Lee, that's a good idea,. I'll give it a shot later today-
