great video, at a project 5 years ago I seemed to remember that the width (or duty cycle) of the pulse determines the position of the servo. Other UA-camrs seem to use teminology where they seem to say that the width of the pulse determine the speed at which the servo arm moves, but that should not work in any logical fashion. Many thanks!
I have a question; I was thinking of using a digital servo for an application that needs to be fast and have good holding torque, and I want to know, do I need to send a PWM frequency of what the servo is rated for (to benefit from) or is the signal being sent still a 50Hz signal (and circuit inside the servo is dealing with the other/higher frequency)? I would like to know so that I can try to figure out how to change the Servo.h library in arduino to accommodate this if I need to.
Congratulations! Very clarifying video! I am looking for a circuit to be connected to a radio control instead of a servo to enable and disable the power of a camera (900mv x 11v). Do you know any product, or would you indicate a diagram for assembling a circuit?
RC controlled switch is easiest. A small relay/MOSFET can be switched on and off by using 1200ms and 1900 ms. It just needs to be well above or below the threshold.
Thanks for the info. Going to have to invest in a silly scope as I don't fancy being able to pinch one from work all that easily! Nice radio too, I have the same JR DSX9 although yours is probably branded 9503 as you're based in the states. Hope you have a great new year mate. Peace from the other side of the world :)

PRR: pulse repetition rate = 50 Hz (1 sec/50 = 0.02 seconds)
Pulse width variable. 1ms to 2ms. 1.5 being center.
Got it! Thanks for the refresher!

Very nice content! Thank you for sharing!
Really good explaination, you helped me alot. Thanks!

Does the same apply for the throttle chan...................specifically, ESC control?
Applies to all channels.
very interesting, will use in my project thank you
say… what happens if you raise the frequency a bit?! right now it’s at 50hz servo says 330hz
Very cool. Thx
