How does a servo work (PWM or PPM)?

Hi Mem,

Point understood!

However I've been programming for many years (for fun and professionally) but frankly 6-8 weeks ago I barely knew what a circuit, microcontroller or a servo was. And it's been a very slow and painful process learning about these things. Not least because people use different terms for the same concept OR the same term for different concepts.

In that sense I very much agree with lefty that "analogWrite" should be called "pwmWrite". Simply because that's more correct but MAINLY because the term "analog" is allready reserved for an entirely different concept. The current mixup made it a lot harder (for me atleast) to understand the whole ordeal.

Besides even if 2 persons both understand a given concept it's still difficult to talk about it if they don't share a common nomenclature. If working as a programmer/systems developer has taught me anything it's that nomenclature is important, if not a must, for meaningful communication..

Hope you see my point too :slight_smile:

Thanks again for your input
