But what do you do when you find out it is a badger... or not

I hadn't considered the 'or not' option......

Do you have the data sheet for the servo? PIR?

Well the PIR is just using a set of normally open contacts.The actual PIR is 12V I don't have a data sheet but I'm thinking that if I use 5V on the N/O contacts with a resistor onto the PIC that should be alright (I hope).

The servo itself is a FUTABA FP5148 I don't have a data sheet for this either but I could email Futaba and ask for one (it's and old three wire job) I've looked on their website but all the product numbers have moved on so nothing to go on. It was for a model glider.

It probably an old version of one of these below:

Not much for you to go on mackrackit I know, what do you think though worth a try?

Yip. Worth a try.

Someone here I am sure knows about this servo, voltage and things.
I will guess 5 volts will work.

PIR will be easy...

Ok the project's underway.

What were you thinking for the next 'Mission' mackrackit?

[mackrackit]

I was thinking something with ADC and LOOKUP tables. But have not really figured out a project yet.

Sounds very interesting. As ever though as and when mackrackit (you know I appreciate your time and effort putting into me).

I'll try and progress the project for now.

Starting to use servos? here is an interesting thread.

Well I wasn't expecting that as a header!:

Automatic Toilet Flusher

Anyroad, some interesting stuff there. A lot of the reading I'm doing on servo's say to use a separate power supply for the motor and common the grounds up. Why would you want to do that? Is it a noise thing?
