There is no jitter between pulses as the timer match condition finishes one pulse and starts the next. The processor has up to the minimum pulse width to service the interrupt and set up the next match. The only jitter would be the start of the pulse train and that would be whate

While the time between the pulses may move around a bit, this causes no problems to a servo. It is the pulse width of the pulse that matters, not the period. That said, with analog servos a faster update rate (period) makes them stronger, a slower one makes them weaker. I've expe

Another approach you might consider is to use a timer as a one shot pulse generator and reset it periodically based upon some other timer (i.e. the system timer) the OCx register is set to “clear on match”, so you r register, then set “Set on match” and then “force match”, read t
