Wow! All three archives gave you an error? Amazing... what bad luck you have
with searching for your own answer rather than just asking us. I just
searched for servo at the FAQ site at found two pages:

http://www.piclist.com/../io/servo
for general information on servos and
http://www.piclist.com/../microchip/a2d-step-rw
for PIC source.

Maybe they will help.

The iversoft archive does seem to be down, and I (as I'm sure you also did)
sent an email to the webmaster of that site to let them know.

Also, the archive at
http://www.infosite.com/~jkeyzer/piclist/index.html
seems to be working again. It returned 716 hits for "servo"

and sending "search servo in piclist" to listserv@mitvma.mit.edu resulted in
just a few more.

More details on how to use the piclist are at

Subject: [PIC]:RC aircraft servo controlled by 16F84


Dear Piclist members,

I want to use a old RC aircraft servo in one of my pic applications...Can
someone direct me to a page on the net. (I get a error when searching the
archives)

1. The servo (FUTABA S100) has three wires (red, black and white). Can
someone help me with the connections (eg. black - gnd; red - +5V; and white
+5V signal from pic???)

2. As I understand the servo move one increment in one direction when a
100ms pulse is applied and in the opposite direction if a 200ms pulse is
applied?

3. Is there some feedback from the servo that you can determine the position
of the rotor (if not how does the servo know the center position every time
I switch it on in the aircraft?


Kindest regards

Francois
