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.

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

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?

I found this posted by Bruce, kind of answers my last question:

Make sure you're using a separate power supply for your servo, and you have a common ground between them. Running a servo from your controller power supply can cause problems if you aren't using a hefty bench type power supply with a lot of filtering to remove motor noise.
