servos ?

[jon8889]

how can i control servos without radio gear? what would li need ?
i want to control two servos from like a little joystick or control knob but not for a plane to use in my car
i do not want to use car door poppers or solenoids it needs to be variable control?

is there something commercially availiable?
or how and what would i need to make something up?

You can use something like this http://www.brchobbies.co.uk/?page=shop&category=17&start=16 or make your own using a 555 timer chip or a pic.

Look for "Servo Driver".

Currently I am using an Arduino USB stamp mcu available from sparkfun.com for about $36.00 U.S. I can control an analog servo with this to about 1 degree of position within any degree of possible position.

The beauty of this is that just by modifying the program I can easily change performance. Also, I can control upwards of 11 servos at the same time. With larger numbers like that you need to be creative with the programming.

Good Luck. Hope this helps.
