Hello,
I've purchased a usb microcontroller from **broken link removed**. Its based around the pic18f4550 chip. Ive got some code that allows the user to control a servo from the pc side. The interface then creates a pwm signal to move the servos. Everything is working correctly except that the interface will not work with anything other than Futaba servos. They either do not work or they cause the board to disconnect from the pc. Ive heard that some servos will send out a voltage spike that could be causing the board to shutdown. Do all brands of servos use pwm for control? Anyone have any ideas about what is going on? Thanks!
Phil
