How to control servo with throttle?

Posted by Jnixetra on September 28, 2011 at 10:43pm

Hi everyone! 

 

I am trying to use the throttle to control a servo so it can move from left to right and increase the speed when i push the throttle.

 

Is this possible? & how would i write the code for this? 

 

Hope any kind soul will reply me this question. 

 

THANK YOU!!! :)

    Hi Jnixetra,

     

    The Servo is connected to an APM (or another Controller board) and the remote control receiver too, right ?

    Now the software can give your changes directly from throttle to the servo (maximum speed),

    now you need a software part that will reduce the speed of change of your servo, and the speed change reducing should be configurabel by 'left/right'. I'm still right?

    So I think you need a PID controller in your software (at least an I Controller)

    Here you can find some help for it:
