IDK.

I just found plans and made them. I'm a bit of a novice

The servos that I am trying to use are HS-55 clones.
HS-55 Servo Motor

says 1500 usec for neutral. If I have to, I'll just get an arduino

. but the mega is $50+, I just want to be able to control 10 servo using with 10 5k pots

The Question you can do that with a handful of cheap 555's.

yup. I just might go with an arduino. there are some additional stuff that I might what to have it do, other than just control servos

Arduino's got plenty of power behind them, useful for a multitude of things.
