Hi all,
firstly a big thanks to all those that responded to my recent emails. I have
decided based on the feedback from you guys, and also from thinking long and
hard about it myself, that the best way forward is to use an interrupt based
PWM routine to generate the pulses to the servos.

I am thinking of doing something like that described by Peter L. Peres (thanks
Peter for a very helpful e-mail!) using a 10us timer to generate around 100
different steps of input. The servos I have a reasonably cheap and unlikely to
deal with anything more than this anyway.

The big question is this... one of the main aims of this project was to create
PID control of the servos. Do people think that 100 steps is going to be enough
to do PID control?

Thanks very much for your help and advice!
Kind regards,
James Fitzsimons
