Re: Vex Servos
On most servos the 1 to 2 ms will not give the full physical range that the servo is capable of. This is done so that any physical shock will not force the shaft to go to the physical stops. You can get more range out of some servos by sending pulses shorter than 1 ms and longer than 2 ms. I did this for a IR ranging sensor. The Hitec servo in the FRC KOP is capable of slightly more than 180 degrees.
