Hi,
I'm very new at programming pic controllers, in fact this is my first project. I don't have a lot of knowledge about electronics and micro controllers on a count that I'm still at secondary school.
What I'm trying to achieve is to move a servo using a pic 16F627 on a K8048 Programming board. [*dunno if this will help ]
I think i've got my pulses right (PortB), the problem is the output is only 2.93 volts whereas my servo requires 5 volts to recognize the signal.
My data sheet says the PIC can output 3.0 - 5.5 volts
I've read the instructions that came with my kit for some help on changing the voltage; no luck. So I'm stumped.
Really some general help would be appreciated, as in what am looking to alter? Am I supposed to select the voltage with the Pic controller in the code (using assembly btw)? Or do I control my output voltage by changing the resistors?
Thanks
