Now i'm guessing that this microcontroller needs to measure the time of the input pulse. The time of the input pulse could then be applied to some formula or something to transform it to "motor-type" control signal.
How would one go about measuring the length of the "servo-type" pulse
No, as stated in my first post, I am attempting to design my own controller.

Are you making this control in a pure hardware design via logic gates or in a software application running on a microprocessor?

In either case to convert from the lower signal level to the higher drive level would require a measurement of both input and desired output against a continuous and stable reference. In hardware and in software this would be derived from a clock oscillator like a 555 chip.

Signal conditioning and output sequencing are extra to the basic functioning of measuring against a reference so these would be dependant mostly on and specific to whatever components you choose for implementing your design.
