Annoying servo jitters (resolved?)

Project2501's picture
I noticed some extreme jerkiness between the ardbot's pan/sweep servos and any interaction with the bluetooth modem. My original code was using the Servo library that ships with the Arduino IDE. Switching to the SoftwareServo library (see http://www.arduino.cc/playground/ComponentLib/Servo) seemed to resolve the jitters....although I can't really explain why at this point. Reading the LMR post http://letsmakerobots.com/node/3541 gave me a few ideas so thanks all.

Hi, Satheesh.

This site may be perfect for you. The best way to get started is a quick read of the 'Rules' link on the front page. This will help you understand the "do's and don'ts of the site. (For example, your post is a reply to someone else's, on a totally different topic. That makes it hard to find.)

Next check out the 'Start here' link on the front page. It is a complete walk-through on building a simple robot, designed for folks just like you. I started with that robot myself when I joined the site.

Familiarize yourself with the site, and ask questions after you have looked through the very helpful resources that have been created!

Good luck and welcome to LMR!
