    Lightbulb Some poorly documented facts about driving servo motors

    I found some interesting things regarding driving servo motors being not or poorly documented I want to share here:

    - Put a LOW Port.Number before Pulsout to make sure that it does not invert the signal the wrong way which makes the motor not work at all
    - Use INTCON = 0
    - Use CMCON = 7
    - Don't expect the motor to perceive 1ms as 0° and 2ms as 180°. Test it first. Most servos accept values less and greater than that.
    - Keep on sending signals to keep the motor's maximum torque.
