AVR-Chat

Controlling R/C servos is incredibly easy using the AVR's 16 bit
timer.  I have a blurb on a web page if that's any use to you.

The high torque microservos tend to use the most current.  The 
"standard" servos often use the least when moving.  Many servos
have spots in their travel where they "buzz;" the arm oscillates
between two points and just suck the current.  Adjusting the pulse
width just a little will often force the servo to pick a spot and the
current draw will drop.  When setting up my model airplanes I try make
sure the neutral point and the extreme throws are not a "buzzing"
point to help add longevity to my receiver battery's charge.
