Spinning a motor is good fun but when it comes to projects
where motion control is required they tend to leave us
wanting more. The answer? Hobby servos. They are mass
produced, widely available and cost anything from a couple of
dollars to hundreds. Inside is a small gearbox (to make the movement more powerful) and
some electronics (to make it easier to control). A standard servo is positionable from 0 to
180 degrees. Positioning is controlled through a timed pulse, between 1.25 milliseconds (0
degrees) and 1.75 milliseconds (180 degrees) (1.5 milliseconds for 90 degrees). Timing
varies between manufacturer. If the pulse is sent every 25-50 milliseconds the servo will run
smoothly. One of the great features of the Arduino is it has a software library that allows
you to control two servos (connected to pin 9 or 10) using a single line of code.
