I got up extra early this morning (not by choice, I'm too used to getting up early for work) and decided to wrap up things with the Arduino and the program for running the mouth servos. I'm glad I made the switch to the Arduino if for no other reason then to be able to program in C instead of a machine language. It made things go very quickly this morning.
Anyway, here is a new video I shot. Nothing terribly interesting but you can see the Oscilloscope is hooked up to one of the servo outputs so you can see the PWM (the line on the Oscilloscope that keeps moving). The width of the PWM corresponds to the position of a servo. So when you see that change rapidly, that means the servo would move rapidly.
Also in this video, you will see me activate the "test" mode. This is designed to allow me to check if all the servos are functioning properly. The PWM will slowly grow and shrink and then rapidly change. This is a check for the servos to see if they can move through the full range.
