PICServo Servo Motor Controller

PICServo Firmware Development Progressing

Tagged:

Hey all, I've been working away on the PICServo firmware. All I can say is this thing will be a beast when it's done!

I'm working out all the maths needed to make it work smoothly, I've got a basic controller routine going but it needs to be fixed up a bit and given a polish. I'm tossing up whether or not to include the analog controls for the PID values or if I should just use push buttons and the LCD display to set them. As Paul Jones pointed out to me that once the PID values are set you really don't want to tinker with them. Plus analog inputs rely on pots that can get bumped, dirty, noisy or all of the above. So we'll see how we end up. :)
