Servo Signal

A project log for µKatka

Tiny quadruped based on ESP8266

Hmm... seems like I've been too optimistic and trusting about the ESP8266 Arduino Servo library. It does seem to work on all the pins, but the signal it generates doesn't work with those small servos properly -- they all move to their limit and stay there, while they should be sweeping...

Last time I had such problems, it turned out that I compiled the code for the wrong microcontroller speed, and the signal was actually 100Hz instead of 50Hz. Unfortunately, I don't have an osciloscope or a logic analyzer handy to check that. So I made a small detour and now I'm trying to make the #BeagleLogic work on my BegleBone Green.
