    Default How to move servo slowly?

    I am doing a robotic project right now. I am using a servo to pan the robot head. I know how to do it by giving pulseout command to the servo but how can I make the pan servo move slowly.

    Can somebody show me some code example.

    Thanks.

    One way my be to send pulses in a double loop, the outer to delay the inner which is doing the actual job.

    Hmm not really up on servos, but, how about sending your pulses out sequentially in a counter loop so if you want to send it say 600 send it a for next operation of 50 + 50 . . .

    You might add a little pause in each increment too . . .

    Servos need the train pulses constantly, say about every 20ms.
