PICServo - PIC Based Servo Controller

In September 2000, Ashley wrote a construction article for Electronics Australia describing a PIC based Servo Controller which is controlled from your computer's serial port.

Full construction details are provided.

Software

GerberPlot - Gerber to HPGL Plotter Conversion Program

Allows the direct plotting of PCB tracks onto blank PCB ready for etching.

Sample Code

Embedded CRC16 Code

Example code for generating and using CRC16 lookup table. This code is especially targeted to small embedded processors because it uses a small table with only 32 entries.

Information

How Servo Motors Work

If document describes how R.C. Servo Motors work and how they are controlled. If you are interested in how the PIC Servo controller drives the servo motor, this document will help explain it.
