A library for controlling servo's on any pin of the mbed, without using the PWM pins.

Example

Servo library test program

Import program
ServoTest - main.cpp

00001 // Keep sweeping servo from left to right
00002 #include "mbed.h"
00003 #include "Servo.h"
00004 
00005 Servo Servo1(p20);
00006 
00007 int main() {
00008     Servo1.Enable(1000,20000);
00009     while(1) {
00010         for (int pos = 1000; pos < 2000; pos += 25) {
00011             Servo1.SetPosition(pos);
00012             wait_ms(20);
00013         }
00014         for (int pos = 2000; pos > 1000; pos -= 25) {
00015             Servo1.SetPosition(pos); 
00016             wait_ms(20);
00017         }
00018     }

Servo - Servo Class Reference

Public Member Functions

Servo (PinName Pin)
Create a new Servo object on any mbed pin.
void SetPosition (int NewPos)
Change the position of the servo.
void Enable (int StartPos, int Period)
Enable the servo.
void Disable ()
Disable the servo.

This library is used to control standard R/C servo motors without using a PWM pin. It can be used on any mbed pin.

Details

The signal wire of the servo can be connected to every mbed pin.

The library is uses Ticker and Timout, not PwmOut.
