Bob's Code Puts Mojo Through it's Paces.

Bob Baxter writes code for a pic to send Hex code to the Servo Mojo, and we start testing.

Testing the Leg Mockup
Keith Rowell Design

I don't see anything in the datasheet on the max rotation of the servo. I tried a couple of standard Hitec servos. They rotate just over 180 degrees at pulse widths of about 700usec to 2.3msec. Getting anywhere with the time line?
