Yanno, it strikes me that part of the problem is the whole PWM thing. Does anyone know the protocol for Digital servos? I think it would be a lot simpler if...
yummm... code I used the MegaBitty code on the ARC AVR board (at 8Mhz internal I think), and it correctly positions a servo. Thanks! I have had no success...
Hi Barry, Did you modify the C code to use Port C? The GeneratePulse routine I provided is hardcoded to use Port D. And oh - yeah - You'll need to configure...
... Some speed controllers choke at the extremes of pulse length. 1ms or 2 ms is just outside of the acceptable range. -- "From Each according to his...
the link I put up was for a single chip that will run 16 servos with simple I2C commands. AND you can order the chip with 3 different addresses for running 48...
I did change the code to use PortC and it must be configured for output -- since switching the servo from the left port to the right port still allows it to...
I ran the values from 0 to 255 and there is no detectable output from that ESC. Any idea which end of the range the ESC might want? ... but ... or 2 ms is ......
This chip sounds ideal for controlling several servos. I only have a need to control the TXT-1 (former Monster R/C truck) at this point. It only has a...
Ok, a very strange thing is happening. I decided to try this line: DDRC |= (BV( 2 ) | BV( 5 )); and we are rolling! I turned off the ARC board, pulled out...
The line you added changes the I/O port from an INPUT to an OUTPUT port. WHen it is an INPUT port, writing to the PORT register will switch on/off ~50kohm pull...
That makes sense, I had no idea. Thanks! ... port. ... on/off ... the PORT ... Possibly the ... drive vs ... right ... redeployed - ... without ... pins ... ...
... I missed the earlier link, but I looked at this one. That's one slick chip. Pretty expensive though, $17 for the 8 servo version and $21 for the 16 ...

Hello, I took you'lls advice and was going to get the EPIC plus programmer... until I found out I might be working with AVR chips as well. What do you'll think...
funny you should say that.... Brian of BDmicro (the mavric) is designing one like this with more features. I do not know when he will have this ready though. ...
I would not consider buying a programmer like this for use on an AVR. All AVR chips are in circuit programmable, so why would you want a programmer that...
I was looking on olimex's website and saw a PIC programmer for 12bucks http://www.olimex.com/dev/pic-pg2c.html How would the epic or any other programmer be...
