Hi,
This is my first post on this forum.
I am working on my senior design and am running into a problem with controlling servos. I want to start off saying that I want to build the circuit not just buy a controller. I figure I can start off by controlling 1 of the servos then the other one will be just a copy.
I want to also say that I have never messed with servos before. I have read a lot about them and know what they do and how they do it. What I need help with is the actual control circuit. I want to be able to move the Joystick to the right position and the servo smoothly turns clockwise as a certain speed, then release the joystick and it stops, I also want to be able to move the joystick to the left position it the servo smoothly turns counter-clockwise.
If it is not possible to make it turn smoothly then I will be ok with a little jerky motion but the smoother the better, since I am trying to aim the servos at something.
Also some information about an Atari 2600 Joystick: It gives logic 1s when the joystick is pressed in that dirrection.
Thank you in advance for any information/help with this.
Jon
