RC Servo decoding/encoding using 12F683

[ScaleRobotics]

like what the multi-rotor guys would want.

Yes! Add multi rotor motor conrol to the list, (as well as single rotor). Yes, for the last three links, you might have to upgrade up to a PIC16, or maybe even a PIC18. But I thought I would get an example out using one of the smallest chips supported by PBP to get peoples imaginations going. If the 12f683 can breeze through this, think what a 40mhz chip ( and a little of your imagination and a little of your code) can do. Something very similar was done 8 years ago, see link two. He added a lot of neat features. Too bad I didn't see it 8 years ago, I could have used that......

Only, with this code, you can put your own PBP code into it.

Here are a couple examples of things which perform servo encoding and decoding, with a "little" math in between, ok, and in some cases a "little" extra hardware. There is a lot more than this out there though....
