Computer control of servos, maybe slightly off topic.

Yes, it has been done, origonal article in Circut Ink and I believe that the author advertizes in the magazine currently.

Used a PIC as I recall.

Check the Circut Ink web site.

Does anyone know of a method for controlling model aircraft servos from a RS232 port on a PC? Is there a control module of some kind on the market? Looking to independently control 4 servos.

I think it's "Circuit Cellar INK." Probably a descendant of the old Circuit Cellar articles in Byte, at a guess.

"The Computer Applications Journal (Circuit Cellar INK) . O. Box 3050 Southeastern, PA 19398-9932

+1-203-872-2204 (FAX)

"This magazine is what Steve Ciarcia wanted BYTE to be when it grew up. It focuses on microcontroller applications and other digital projects. $21.95 per year (12 issues, now) (Canada, Mexico: add $10 surface mail, $20 air mail; other countries: add $28.)"

OK, here's the whole story of the name from SC himself:
