Changing pps on arduino mega 2560

Using Arduino Programming Questions
#1

Does anyone know how to change the pps from 50 to 300? I would like to control a digital servo using the arduino mega 2560. Thanks for your help! Beth

#2

Is this some kind of non standard servo? Is its controller happy with a higher PPM frequency?

I am trying to control a digital servo (tried using both the traxxas 2075 and HobbyKing HKSCM9) instead of the standard analog servo (Hitec HS-332HD). This is my first time using arduino so I apologize. I am able to control the analog servo fine but my I think the PWM frequency is off by 6 ie 50 pulses per second for the analog and 300 for the digital. The basic code I am using is below. Thanks again for your help!

#include <Servo.h> 
 
Servo myservo;  // create servo object to control a servo 
                // a maximum of eight servo objects can be created 
 
int pos = 0;    // variable to store the servo position 
 
void setup() 
{ 
  myservo.attach(9);  // attaches the servo on pin 9 to the servo object 
} 
 
 
void loop() 
{ 
  for(pos = 0; pos < 180; pos += 1)  // goes from 0 degrees to 180 degrees 
  {                                  // in steps of 1 degree 
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos' 
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position 
  } 
  for(pos = 180; pos>=1; pos-=1)     // goes from 180 degrees to 0 degrees 
  {                                
    myservo.write(pos);              // tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos' 
    delay(15);                       // waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position 
  } 
}

You talk to digital servos the same way you talk to analogue servos, with 50Hz PPM.

You may want to see if your for loops agree with their comments. ;)

Digital servos need a lot more power though. The arduino might not be able to supply enough current.

Thanks everyone! The servos are working perfectly!
