Here's an unusual application. http://www.m5fra.org.uk/2013/02/24/magnetic-loop-remote-tune/ This guy is a ham radio operator and he uses the Futaba S3003 RC Servo (a variant of stepper motors) to remotely tune his his antenna. He's currently using a 555, but is about to switch to an Arduino Uno for better control. Others are using PICs and several different other brands as well, but I don't have=20 at hand any URLs to supply.
