Hi Guys,
Firstly i'd like to congratulate all the people with there gifted amount of knowledge that post solutions to peoples mis'ups and circuit dramas. I'm only new to electronics as a hobby. I do understand how some circuits work (simple ones that is)
What i would like to know if there is a way of controlling a futaba servo so that when i push a button, the servo moves to it's designated position, and then when you release the button, it returns to its start position.
I have managed to build a simple circuit using a 555 timer. I have put a small trimpot in place so i can position the servo horn by just turning the trimpot. It works really well and pleased with my success in building this. I used the schematics from a circuit design i found on the internet.
In order for me to control 2 seperate positions with the servo i would no doubt need 2 of these small circuits. In saying this, i have read other comments about using a 556 timer. Is there a diagram that someone may know off that will be able do what i need?
I appreciate any input.
Cheers
