Re: Servo behavior question / advanced servo/PIC programming question

Using the KOP Hitec servo we were able to get 170 degrees of travel by creating pulses shorter and longer than what is available by the default code. We used a basic programed pic that had a servo command that allowed the pulse generated to be specified in us. With the first controllers you would have to generate the pulses in code or modify the default program. There is no servo or pulse out command. One thing to keep in mind is the time it takes for the servo to go full range under load. This is important if you app requires precise positioning.
