Hi,This is a general question about servo's - I hope no one minds me asking it here!
Is there a way to make the servo idle in a particular position?
If I move it to a position and then set the pulse to 0 or off it is slow to respond when I then send it a pwm position. It's really to stop it drawing current and making a noise while holding it's position.
Do servo's have a specific PWM for idle? If so I can't find any info on data sheets.
Thanks in advance for any info.
If it is a standard R/C type servo, (not one modified for continous rotation), you do not need to do anything to make it hold the last position, the servo library will contiously keep sending that last position value you commanded to the servo. There is no reason to 'detach' the servo, in fact the detach command is more often used in error then for any valid reason.
